Web-based Training Pilot:
As
previously announced, the Bureau of Elections, in partnership with the
Michigan Virtual University, has developed a one-hour web-based training
program on "Managing the Polls on Election Day." This 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.
The pilot course will be released on Monday,
October 13. Instructions for accessing the course can be found at the end of
this communication. Once released, the course may be accessed at any time
from any computer that has Internet access. You may take the course as many
times as you wish. If you are unable to complete the course in one setting,
you can return to the course at another time. When returning to the course,
you will receive a prompt asking if you would like to continue from where you
left off or go back to the beginning. At the end of the course, you will be
asked to complete a short evaluation regarding the course content and format.
The feedback that you provide will be used to make enhancement to this course
as well as future web-based training courses that will be offered by the
Bureau.
Due to the overwhelming response received
following last weeks announcement, we have arranged to make this course
available to all county, city, township and village clerks.
