Resources: Learning Times Network

The LearningTimes Network (LTN) of communities continues to grow and offer a wide range of professional development, networking and collaboration opportunities for education and training professionals around the globe. Click on the title above to go to their latest newsletter.
Membership is free.

Two things that might be of particular interest to CTISPI members:

1. CERTIFIED SYNCHRONOUS TRAINING PROFESSIONALS (CSTP)
   
   Have you noticed a "CSTP" designation on business cards, e-mail signatures, or resumes of your colleagues? Or seen a Golden Squirrel Seal hanging prominently on an office wall? These unique symbols represent that this person has acquired the skills, experience, and dedication to merit the title "Certified Synchronous Training Professional". LearningTimes and InSync Training are proud to have issued several hundred certificates this year. CSTPs build high quality interactive and collaborative educational and training programs, and maintain a level of professionalism that has led to several recent industry awards recognizing their efforts. CSTPs produce these courses and events on every major synchronous platform in the market, which has certainly helped their organizations take full advantage of a wide range of educational and community building technology investments.
   
   Online classes begin each month, and include a Synchronous Training Primer, followed by Facilitation, Design, and Certification classes. Consider joining us on October 28th for our next free "Learn to Learn Online" class:
