EITP Online Training Weekly Update - 11/14/13

11/14/2013

The EI Training Program at the University of Illinois has completed the Moodle import for anyone who participated in an online training sponsored by the EI Training Program (EITP) between October 2012 and October 2013. If a Moodle account was created for you, you should have received an email from Moodle with instructions to set up your unique password. If you participated; yet, did not receive an email regarding your new Moodle account, please check your spam folder.

The majority of the online trainings that the EITP sponsors will be open for registration early next week. The table below provides instructions to help you get started with your new Moodle account as well as enroll in EITP sponsored online trainings once they re-open. The additional resources that follow include all of our past announcements and resources related to this transition.

Thanks again for your continued patience throughout this transition. Please check our website News postings and our Training page next week to learn more about when registration is once again open for EITP sponsored online trainings.
