New Statewide AEA Professional Learning Registration System is on the Horizon!

Iowa’s AEAs and AEA Learning Online have been collaborating for some time to move our individual professional learning/licensure registration systems to a statewide professional learning registration system. Having one registration system will provide participants with a much larger offering of professional learning activities through a statewide catalog. A new system will also create greater equity and consistency in programming and resources to help support quality professional learning and licensure programming. 

System Benefits 

• View All Offerings That Are Available Statewide: Individuals who use the system will be able to see all courses and activities that are available across the state’s AEAs. Users may search by specific courses, topics, locations and more.  
• Instructors Will Find a User-Friendly System: There are system enhancements for instructors! Once an instructor enters a course in the system, they don’t have to repeat that process again. They simply enter a new section for that activity. That includes the syllabus. Once a syllabus is approved, it’s valid across all AEAs! 
• All Completed Courses Will be in One Transcript: In the new system, there will be one common transcript that shows all courses taken by an individual, including courses from AEA Learning Online. Anything that the individual has taken from an Iowa AEA will show up in one document. Users will be able to print their own transcripts and receipts for tax purposes. 
• Split the Payments!: Split payment options for credit cards and/or purchase orders will be available in the new system. 
• Login is Easy and Familiar: Users of the new system will log in using their existing email and password they use to login to take Mandatory Reporter and Bloodborne Pathogens trainings through AEA Learning Online (formerly AEA PD Online). 

In the coming weeks, expect to see more information and updates through various AEA communication channels.
