The system provides complete learning experiences that focus on learning-by-doing that can be taken at any time and at the learner‚s own pace. It offers online instruction with interactive exercises and problem-solving demonstrations supplemented by authoritative course readers in eBook and printed formats.
The launch was announced at ASHRAE‚s 2006 Winter Meeting held in Chicago from Jan. 21-25.
The system also offers integrated assessment, skills tracking for earning CEU/PDH credits and online registration and retrieval of certificates of course completion.
The first course Fundamentals of HVAC Systems will be available April 3. The course will be supported by Learning Bursts, in-depth scenario-based training and simulation exercises with a heavy focus on applicability. Learning Bursts allow learners to apply the information presented and practice extensively without making costly mistakes in the real world.
