The settings, scenes, characters, and subject matter for the lessons are taken from everyday life. A new series will be developed for the GED in 2002. The tapes are used by GED classroom students and by students receiving tutoring.
Videotapes are also available to students through libraries.
Programs are also broadcast on cable stations in some areas. The series has been used by students who are needing brush-up prior to furthering their education. Basic Literacy students can also benefit from watching the tapes. In Oregon, GED on TV is televised through Oregon Public Broadcasting.
