Along with Advocacy and Certification, Education is one of the three strategic tenets of the AMCA mission statement. The introduction of the educational portal now provides AMCA members and industry professionals with a centralized location for access to important educational materials and resources that will benefit their ongoing professional growth, knowledge, and development.
“The research and development process required to select and create the right AMCA educational platform (often called an LMS—Learning Management System) was a lengthy and involved project," said Lisa Cherney, AMCA education manager. "After extensive research and testing, we believe we have the right portal for our members and professional colleagues.”
On the AMCA insite Online Education Portal, users will find:
- A “Welcome to the AMCA LMS” explanatory guide, providing instructions on how to use the platform and get started in this new learning environment.
-
All AMCA insiteTM Webinar recordings, with quizzes and surveys, included for earning PDH credit.
- New online educational modules on Fan System Effect and Basics of Acoustics—both PDH granting—with more on the way.
- Customized mini-modules for AMCA Members, highlighting topics of interest and “how to’s” that will enhance membership participation.
There will be a small fee assessed for certain online programs in order to support the ongoing programming efforts. “The portal will be a living, breathing destination for educational offerings—constantly be added to and updated as new curriculum is built," Cherney added.
There are more than 25 PDH eligible offerings already available and several upcoming modules are being developed for launch later in 2021. Check-in often at amca.org/learn to stay informed about new courses and educational opportunities.
