Something new is coming!
On October 12th our Online Academy will transition over to a new dashboard with an updated learning experience. You’ll still have access to the same courses and resources you do now, but with an improved experience to help you learn the skills you need quicker and more effectively.
You’ll continue to see new enhancements and updates as we head into the new year (we can’t wait to share how you can use them to better organize your training and reach your goals more effectively) but for now, here’s what you need to know:
- You’ll need to re-login the first time you enter the Online Academy after the switch over (don’t worry if you’ve forgotten your password, you can reset it)
- Your course enrollment will be transitioned to your new dashboard, but not your course progress (so note where you are in a course NOW to more quickly allow you to find your spot after the transition). You will still have a record of courses completed.
- If you have any struggles, head over to traindemocrats.org/techsupport, fill out the form, and our tech team will help you out!
A special thank you to everyone who joined this week’s Build Blue Week events.
In the coming weeks, look forward to more wrap-up content and highlights from our four incredible panels.
In the meantime: it’s October, meaning Election Day is just around the corner. While we take a live training break next week, look forward to October’s live training events that will review key skills and lay the foundation for debriefing.
