January 25, 2006—A new eLearning system is being launched by the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) and Elsevier, a leading publisher of scientific, technical and medical information products and services.
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 ASHRAEs 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.
ASHRAE e-Learning Systems are the latest offering of the ASHRAE Learning Institute, the arm of the Society that produces seminars, courses and other professional development tools to assist the HVAC&R industry in staying current with rapidly changing technology.
