CPD Input
by: Tom Packowski
|
Today marks a week since the conclusion of our first virtual AGM. Now would be the ideal time to update (or start) your CPD input for the cycle 2019 to 2021. The AOLS is pleased to note that nearly 60% of members in this current cohort are "on track" or have completed their CPD input already.
Since early 2020, GeoEd has been the place to input your CPD credits. In the August 2020 issue (Number 16) of In Sight, there is a detailed essay on how to input your CPD. If you need to brush up on how to input your CPD, please review the article attached. There is also a GeoEd CPD users guide here.
For your convenience, the CPD credits for the different seminars and webinars for the recent AGM were posted under the title of the session. See the link here.
We would encourage you to input your CPD in a timely manner as you acquire your credits to save yourself and the AOLS staff stress and anxiety as we approach the end of this current cycle. As always, if you have any issues, please contact Penny or Colleen for assistance.
