This is an e-learning platform or learning management system used by ANR employees to post learning modules for Division clientele: the people of California. ANR instructional designers can give their online students the ability to participate in discussion boards, chats, IM, and hand in assignments and receive grades. For instance, ANR employees have made available continuing education courses for California Pest Control Advisors and Qualified Applicators via the course "Moving Beyond Pesticides” and "Citrus IPM 2015”.
Various course design options are available, including standalone courses where there is no interaction between instructor and student. The student studies the content, takes a quiz, and with a passing grade, gets a certificate.
If you are interested in posting a learning module for your clientele, please contact Leigh Dragoon at ladragoon@ucanr.edu.
