Greg Greiner July 23, 2018 No Comments

Many of the new courses slated for the 2018-19 Calendar School year [identified here] and the 2018 Catalog, have been turned on in the past month.  The rest are still in process, but slated for use as described in those articles.  A future article after NTI will be posted when the details are ready for listing all recently released content.

The message here focuses on the Archiving of courses.  Some of the new courses turned on recently replace existing ones.  When this occurs, we Archive the course being replaced once it’s new-use is no longer part of the system.  On August 7th we will archive the listed courses below.  Archiving a course does not remove access for those already enrolled.  Archiving affects only new enrollments, not existing ones.  Read on to get the full explanation.

Greg Greiner July 1, 2018 No Comments

The new enrollment system used for the Learning Management System (LMS) has been, at long last, deployed.  We have been working on exciting enhancements and added functionality across the entire application to better support your management of the Blended Learning Training.  The legacy system was written in a codebase that offered the need of an update to be able to apply these new features and I’m glad to share the beginnings of them with you today.

LMS course titles that included “with text” revised

Broadcast Memo
Textbooks No Longer Included with the Purchase of LMS Courses
The required textbook for all Advanced courses will need to be purchased separate from your LMS enrollments effective the weekend of February 25-26. The “with text” feature in the LMS Advanced course enrollments will no longer be available. The price for all impacted LMS courses will be reduced to reflect this change. You must still purchase your Core Curriculum textbooks by purchasing the SUITE package for each year.
The addition of the Installer/Technician curriculum to the LMS and the inclusion of the Residential curriculum in the fall of 2017 complicates the “w/ text” feature. Textbooks included in Inside Wireman Advanced courses that are part of the Installer/Technician and Residential curriculum are purchased in SUITES, just like the Inside Wireman program. This creates an ordering conflict where the books included in the Installer/Technician and Residential SUITES are also included with many of the Inside Wireman Advanced courses that feature “w/ text”, which would create duplication of many of the required textbooks. Due to this issue, the decision was made to discontinue the “w/ text” feature for the Advanced courses.
You must order the required textbooks for the Advanced courses at the
electrical training ALLIANCE online bookstore which is accessed from our website atwww.electricaltrainingalliance.org. Once you log in to the bookstore, select “New Order” and then select “Journeyman/Advanced” from the Group 1 drop down menu as seen below. You will need to select your topic from the Group 2 drop down menu. The courses are listed in alphabetical order. If you have any questions please contact customer service at 888.652.4007.
