This first course will be used as the model for future web-based training courses and programs offered by the Bureau including Michigan's Clerk Accreditation Program.  Our goal is to incorporate web-based training as a complement to the current face-to-face training programs sponsored through the Bureau.

Web-based training programs afford full and part-time election officials the opportunity to access the instructional materials when convenient to their individual schedules.   

Your Assistance is Needed:  To make this first pilot program and evaluation process a success, we are asking all county and local election officials who are responsible for training election inspectors to view the course and complete a short course assessment.  The course and assessment, which will be offered on-line, should take approximately one-hour to complete.  Instructions for enrolling in the pilot course, which will be launched within the next two weeks, will be forwarded to all course participants later this week.    

Using the form (below), please provide the name, title and email address for each of the individuals that would like to participate in the pilot program.  Please forward the completed form to the attention of Lydia Valles at ElectionsPDD@Michigan.gov or by fax to: 517-241-2784 no later than October 3, 2008.
