We believe we solved a long-standing problem where sometimes the completion records would disappear for a particular course. If this is observed again, or you find any other problem, please let contact me at webmaster@learningmeasure.com.
Added more tools for course creation from within employer accounts. Now employers can
This is an incremental step towards being able to create whole courses online within LearningMeasure.com.
What remains is to enter the course outline (what is seen when the “Index” button pressed) and course pages, which will take a bit longer to complete. Of course when completed, this will be added to educator accounts.
A long requested feature has been added to LearningMeasure.com, certificates of completion. I have been reluctant to do this, as it would be difficult to create a certificate that couldn’t be spoofed. What I have decided to do is to create a certificate that explains how to validate it.
When you complete a course a gold medal (
) appears next to the course number in the screen that shows the courses you have signed up for. Clicking on this icon will cause a PDF certificate of completion to be emailed to the email address that you entered when you registered as a student. This email address can be changed in your settings if it is incorrect.
On this certificate is the URL of your online resume, which contains your training record. One can validate the certificate by verifying the course appears in the training record, as is explained on the certificate. This is only visible however if your subscription is current.
We hope you find this a useful feature.
We have made some more changes to the homepage of LearningMeasure.com. It is now possible to register as a student on the homepage if desired.
A new category of classes have been added to the course catalog. The first in a series of fundamental physics classes has been entered. It has been requested that some of the basic physics that are the foundation of measurement be included in some of the course material. We plan on a fairly extensive series of basic physics courses to be developed over the next few years, in addition to other courses on our list. The first class in this section of the course catalog is
PHYS50 - Introduction to Vectors
A vector quantity is one that has magnitude and direction. This course covers some of the basics of vectors and mathematical operations that can be performed on them.
Spent a good part of today implementing features and making bug fixes to the code that runs LearningMeasure.com.
Finished implementing educator entered training feature. Also all places where one can view training records now shows all employer and educator entered content.
Fixed some bugs with bid review mechanism where bidders resume and training record information was being displayed incorrectly.
Officially ended the one week trial period, no new accounts will have a free trial period, instead they will have access to a portion of the course catalog for free to base their decision to decide on subscribing.
Please, if any of you out there have a feature request, or know of any bugs, or want us to develop a specific course, let us know. We value feedback, and use it to decide what to implement next.
A new feature has been added to employer accounts that allows the entry of training into their employee training records. The ability to enter and delete individual entries on the employees training record is done by selecting an employee record from the employee records page at
http://www.learningmeasure.com/employers/cgi/lmviewemployeerecords.pl
and then go to the employee entered training section after selecting an employee.
This can be used to record third party training or even in-house training. This information is editable only by the employer and not by the employee. It is also visible to anyone who would look at the employees resume, and remains on the employee’s resume as long as they are listed as an employee.
A new feature has been implemented today that has been requested by some of our employers. As of today, when an employer or an educator assigns a due date for a course, the student no longer has the option of dropping the course. This is the first of several changes that will be implemented over the next year.
Although we are continuing with course development, we will spend a little more resources on updating the site functionality over the next year. As a result, we anticipate the rate of course development will decrease during this time. Feedback will be more important over the next year, as feedback will determine which features and which courses will receive the highest priority.
We would like to help support independent consultants on LearningMeasure.com. If your consultancy is in the areas of metrology, measurement, test, evaluation, modeling, simulation, engineering, statistics … basically anything that is technical, we can provide some support. We are not looking for soft skills consultants, just technical consultants.
To the spammers out there, any profile we find that does not fit in that category will be deleted, so don’t try to promote your get rich quick scheme or medical enhancement products on this site. We are only interested in legitimate technical consultants.
We are trying to build a small network of technical consultants that we could call on to send work from our clients to.
If you are a technical consultant we invite you to join our consultant network. To do this first register as a student, and then fill out a consultant profile. This will be searchable and have a link back to your website, your LinkedIn profile, and your LearningMeasure.com resume.
If you develop any course material for LearningMeasure.com Your consultant profile will be on the third page of the course, and you can put a one page sales pitch for your services at the end of the course. We are looking for short training courses, roughly 50 self-contained powerpoint slides on technical topics. Anything on specific instrumentation would be great, as well as any technical topic. We just ask that there is no sales pitch in the course itself. Let us know if you are interested.
Also we are looking for consultants to interview on our podcast. Let us know if you are interested and we will try to schedule an interview.
The first two books of the LearningMeasure.com Measurement Series are now available for purchase. The intent is to put together a eight volume series of short texts on the subject of measurement.
To purchase, click on the image of each volume, and you will be taken to the CreateSpace website where these volumes are available.
The intended volumes of this series are
The first volume in the series discusses basic concepts associated with measurement and measurement uncertainty.
The second in the series is a short text on the SI system of units.
These texts are taken from existing material from the LearningMeasure.com website, with some expansion. They are meant to be handy references for the material covered in the online courses.
Each book comes with a three-month extension of your LearningMeasure.com subscription. See the last chapter of each book for details.
This may be a little ambitious, but LearningMeasure.com is a very ambitious company. If anyone would be willing to contribute any material to this effort, we may be interested, just tell me what you have in mind.
