What has now become the annual trek to Edinburgh, Scotland to attend the Leadership Innovation Technology Evolution (LITE) conference was on September 20 and 21, 2018. Just like the previous conferences, we came away from this conference inspired to continue to improve on our course offerings and increase the information we provide you. We will continue to transition to online course evaluations, by using Surfaces connected to the course evaluation system we will go electronic for course evaluations. We are also in the process of converting the asbestos refresher exams to be online. That will probably take a while to accomplish, hoping to complete it within the next year.

Vicky Kavanagh of Administrate Discussing the Advantages of Blended Learning |
Presentations by Vicky Kavanagh of Administrate, Sandy Rushton of Bright Carbon, and Graham David of Blue Bettle Productions taught us how to improve our presentations and make them more informative and entertaining. Vicky Kavanagh’s presentation helped us to determine what else we can we do with the blended learning environment we created. Sandy Rushton’s presentation taught us how animations in powerpoint presentations can help keep learners focused on the message. Graham David’s presentation encouraged us to ask more questions in our presentations to make it more interactive. These improvements you will see in the next courses and over the next year.

Sandy Rushton of Bright Carbon Discussing How to Improve Stories |
We will be expanding our token program for providing access to additional online training courses, and increasing the topics we cover on these programs. Starting January 2019, to add value to our training courses every registration will include a Silver Token that will be good for taking one online course and will be good for a year. Our current online courses include courses on respirators, crystalline silica, asbestos awareness, and New York City asbestos handler/supervisor exam review course. The next courses we are working on is a New York City asbestos investigator exam review course and a Hazard Communication/Right-to-Know Course. We hope to have these courses available before the New Year.
