Program Overview: This series of educational modules will prepare participants to manage playgroups using the LIMA ethical standard and use conspecific interactions for behavior modification.
Cohort Structure: Learners will be invited to join a cohort of 75 individuals that will meet virtually for three months via the Litmos LMS platform. Each cohort will be invited to twice-monthly (bi-weekly) hour-long, live meetings via Zoom webinar so that questions can be answered live. The bi-weekly meetings will feature video analysis and discussion of relevant topics. A discussion board per cohort will be maintained and moderated. After matriculation of each cohort, the cohort’s discussion board will be archived.
Registration process: Individuals interested in joining each cohort must submit an “e-mail of interest” to the executive director, Mara Velez requesting to be added to the upcoming cohort. Each person must login at least twice a month and complete modules in order to continue. If, after a period of 30 days, a learner has not logged-in, they will be contracted; if no response within five days, their user account will be deactivated.
Completion Timeframe: Learners will be expected to complete one module per week, which will require 60-90 minutes per week. The program consisting of Foundation and Intermediate modules will be expected to be completed within a three month time-frame. The total seat time per week is estimated to be two to two and a half hours.
