Splitting the Difference

I finished splitting the WPDP History of Workforce Development module into 4 units. It's been quite a process since it also needed updating. Splitting into 4 units also required the revision of the exams and development of several questions. Just as I thought I was done, I realized I hadn't divided and updated the table of contents. That is now complete along with an explanation of the how version 5.0 came about.

I have moved on to the WPDP Labor Market Information guide and exams which Lorraine Faulds has already split and updated. I just need to add some formatting and again, update the table of contents and then we will be half way to the goal of dividing all four modules into 4 units each.

After the the Unemployment Insurance and Business & Job Seeker guides and exams are complete we will be ready to place the exams online.

I Am Back

I have been on hiatus from the blog for the last two months. My mother became very ill in February and passed away in March. I am finally getting back into the grove again and discovering my "new normal."

I actually have been working on IAWP activities including finishing up the division of the WPDP History of Workforce Development study guide. The 100+ page study guide and 100 question exam has been being divided into 4 modules with corresponding 25 question exams. I am just about to finish the last exam now. I also took the opportunity to update the history, as it had been few years since the last update.

Once the History modules are complete I can start getting the exams placed on line. I am hoping to have all the study guides (History, Unemployment Insurance, Business and Job Seeker and Labor Market Information) finished up by mid year.
