Education Insider - February 21
New Courses Report
The Courses Report is now available In EdConnect. Log into EdConnect, select Reports, EdConnect, then Courses. The Courses Report is searchable and displays relevant course information like course title, number, hours, per person fees, expiration date, and more. This report replaces the website instructor course search. The key difference is that you cannot search for all the classes an instructor can teach. You’ll need to retrieve that information directly from the instructor.
Retiring Instructor-Course Search

Class Settings
At this time, course hosts (the entity that added the class in EdConnect) are the only ones who can update class settings. This means that instructors are not able to add their Zoom links to classes that aren't scheduled through the subscription program or the broadcast calendar. We're working to resolve this issue and will let you know when we have a solution.

Course Completion Certificates
While issuing completion certificates is required by TREC, they're actually not needed as course credit is posted directly to attendee education records. Please tell students to check their TREC record three days after course completion for notice of whether or not they passed. We're working to make completion certificates available and, also, supply email notifications to attendees regarding their passing or failing of a class. We will let you know when those initiatives are implemented.

The 2025 first quarter broadcast calendar is now closed. Also, the Broadcast Instructor Request Form has been updated to include the course number and the course title.

Resources for understanding options for boards and members beyond MBM program
Attached you find RESOURCES to explore various options for boards and members following the discontinuation of the MBM program. Please feel free to reach out if you would like to review these materials together.
I appreciate the many of you who have already reached out to schedule meetings, and I anticipate that we will have several discussions throughout the year.
