1. AIA CES Discovery Launch Date Extended to October On Monday, October 25, AIA Continuing Education System (CES) transcript and data management will move from the University of Oklahoma (OU) to a Web-based learning management system to better meet AIA members’ professional development needs, mandatory continuing education requirements, and delivery preferences. The OU AIA CES Records Office will continue to process all records received by September 30. Throughout the testing and transition phases, the records will reside in both the OU and CES Discovery databases. The AIA CES Discovery learning management system, previously scheduled to launch this September, will instead debut on Monday, October 25, to allow adequate time to incorporate and test several new proposed system changes and upgrades. The decision to add the enhancements was reached after months of collaboration with AIA components. The goal: to provide members with the strongest possible tool for accessing their continuing education resources. The enhancements require changes to the software program, and templates must be developed and tested to ensure the smoothest possible launch. Component work groups will continue to review and test the system before the launch and beyond. What Else Is New? A Video Preview of AIA CES Discovery Get a sneak peek at what the system can do by checking out the video tutorial now available online. The presentation (viewable in an .exe file format) shows how a user can perform several essential functions, such as viewing a transcript, searching for courses, adding new courses, and reporting attendance. Save the Date: October Web Seminars for Providers Plan now to attend one of three live Web seminars on the AIA CES Discovery system. Registration is available now for October 4, October 7 and October 12. These training presentations will walk you through easy navigation of the new system and cover how to register courses, report AIA member credits, create customized reports, and much more! Questions? Comments? For more information, see the AIA CES Discovery FAQ for Providers, write to AIA CES or contact AIA CES Provider Manager Sara Thomas. Watch for more CES Discovery updates in future issues of the CES Provider Connection.
2. Course Evaluation Models Course evaluations will become available for all providers offering continuing education when AIA CES Discovery launches this fall. This will be one of the many ways we will monitor the quality of our CES courses. Donald Kirkpatrick is one of the most well known voices in the training industry, and the Kirkpatrick Partners Website offers products and programs for training in evaluations that will yield measurable business results. His book Evaluating Training Programs is an excellent tool for developing successful evaluations.
3. Important Information for the 2011 Provider Renewal It’s hard to believe that the annual provider renewal is just around the corner! Beginning this fall, you will be receiving your renewal invoice electronically. In an effort to collect the most accurate information for our provider points of contact, we are encouraging you to update your contact information online. The renewal invoice will be sent via email and a second invoice will be mailed, if it hasn’t been paid later in the year.
4. CES Tip of the Month Several of our AIA components around the country help members catch up on their continuing education requirements through annual "Procrastinator's Day" events, ranging from half-day seminars to full weeks that feature one or two courses per day. These kinds of events are now being adopted by more and more AIA providers annually. AIA members have a deadline each September 30 to complete their previous year’s requirements. As a provider, you could easily help them out by holding a “Procrastinator’s Day” over the next two months. AIA New York offered one of these events last year with great success. To learn more, you can listen to the full podcast about the AIA NY program.
