'Brainstorm on ask'

Terminology - what do we call this?
Commitment: At least 1 hour/month, a bit more time earlier on getting familiar with the process
Objective is to identify learning alternatives, find opportunities in the training program to implement alternatives, what courses fit
Need people with experience in learning alternatives (distance learning? e-learning?)
Can we bring in people from outside of the state agencies?
How involved are the e-learning courses? Do some courses require more formatting than others?
What is the student experience? What is the course developers experience? Is there a role for a learning expert to tailor courses to an e-learning format
Need people with experience developing/using e-learning technology, knowledge of alternatives, people with experience using e-learning from the student perspective, people with knowledge of the air pollution training courses to identify opportunities to use e-learning in the curriculum
Develop recommendations for the new LMS, what capabilities are needed in the new server
