Course Development Process:
1. “Call for Course” requests are sent out and the responses summarized.
2. An analysis is conducted to make sure there isn’t already web based courses available.
3. Courses are prioritized for consideration 4. Courses are checked against the competency
matrices to make sure course goals are aligned5. The course requests that meet the criteria are
then prioritized.6. Courses are included in a new development
contract Development Goal:
20 hours of web based training developed per year
