Project Summary:

create their own online learning courses. However there were previously not people that had the tools or
skills for online learning. As we have experienced high turn over in the past several years, there is a need to
provide knowledge transfer on a variety of topics on demand, for compliance purposes as well as to continue
to provide excellent services to our community.
[Course Goal]Through a series of courses and a community of practice grow and develop the capability in our
county to design and author online learning content.
