 ** (John) 1-2 requests for CEMs courses in the SESARM region (FL, TN, & AL), need to figure out how to schedule the pilot/testing, and then make updates based on feedback; need to figure out how to get the materials to the trainers, train the trainer, provide realistic schedule to STLs for final training version; only one instructor (T. Keener) had been teaching CEMs in the past 5 years, although there are other consultants (e.g., All4) who will teach this course - need to get more instructors matched to the course materials, looking for thoughts on how to best synch instructors/materials; (Julie M) AWMA may be another resource for finding prospective trainers; (Jeff G) instructor list is now with Delivery WG, will be updating this list, seeking feedback from JTC on prospective instructors

-** (Eric)
+** Discussion on APTI 470, piloted course with MARAMA; need to find a new e-learning format that isn't expensive to develop/maintain as the current 470 course model;
 ** (John) there is a former MARAMA employee with e-learning expertise, could we reach out to her for guidance/direction on where to look for resources? (Julie) Yes, we can reach out to her, but need to manage expectation; webinars are an easy way to deploy training content, could be an inexpensive approach for e-learning; air quality training material has ~2-3 year shelf life, need to be updated regularly; Action: Zac and Jeff - get contact information for Alice L. on e-learning; (Eric) is Alice's expertise in instructional design or delivery? (Julie) both, her degree is in design, but she develops her materials in both formats, in-class and online; seeking other leads on people with expertise in e-learning; (Lisa B) CARB is happy to share the various tools they use, have a list of options from webinar to storylines, happy to share their different products; need to get this feedback for the Delivery and LMS workgroups
-** (Vicki) AERMOD training being reviewed by WG, will get eval forms by 4/30, looking for discussion points to act on from the responses, will summarize and distribute to JTC to figure out how to make edits/changes; want to wrap up this WG by end of May/mid-June

(Julie) Parallel effort happening in the JTC with exploring a new LMS, would like EPA to provide experiences/lessons learned on their transition to FedTalent; need to find information about FedTalent, what is the licensing, can it be used for APTI-Learn replacement? what are the costs? Upsides/downsides? request EPA to find out if this could be an option for the National Program effort; FedTalent can't be administered from outside of the EPA firewall, but is there a work around? need to explore this option further, bring this to the LMS workgroup

 ** (Michael) Discussions with Kristen and Adam (EPA), process is being developed for this WG; supervisor comes in with a new employee, using information in the current LMS (or new LMS), want to be able to tap into or develop a custom curriculum (some pre-packaged, or custom); need to define what students will get out of the course/how will it help them in their job, are all of the curriculums outline, are they in demand, how do the course fit into these curricula? Gap analysis will identify where there is redundancy or missing items; prioritize based on course evaluations where to focus efforts, need to figure out how to assimilate this information; need to pull materials to get it all in once place, looking forward to using the wiki for this effort; (Mary Ann) connection between Curriculum WG and LMS WG, target is to have the new LMS by December 2020; there is a sense of urgency to get the curriculum update process established before the new LMS comes on line, want to integrate new materials into the new LMS, to the extent possible; will need to be able to handle both old and new materials; (Jeff G). Do you have the MARAMA gap analysis?
