Adult Learning Modules
These classes help trainers meet the 12 hours of training about adult learning required for trainer approval in Minnesota. You must complete both Adult Learning Modules 1 and 2 to meet this requirement. For more information about trainer approval requirements, see the Trainer Approval Process Guide.
Both modules include self-paced online coursework and Zoom meeting sessions. TARSS uses a learning management system called Canvas where participants can access all the module materials.
Adult Learning Module 2: Design Skills
- Blended online design: readings, discussion boards, and reflection assignments with a live Zoom session
- 8 clock hours Develop-approved
- You will receive emailed instructions for logging in a few days before the training begins from the TARSS team at tarss@umn.edu. Please make sure the TARSS email is on your safe list or check your spam folder.
This module will introduce the principles of content-based training design. Participants will develop training objectives, discuss the use of the learning cycle in training design, and consider evaluation strategies for measuring the effectiveness of a training session. Participants apply their knowledge using Achieve’s Course Approval process.
Students will complete activities and assignments each week as well as attend a weekly live Zoom session. Activities include readings, videos, discussion board, and reflections.
