Aztec Connect for CASAS® & TABE® Tests

🗓 July 17 (12:00 Pacific/3:00 Eastern)

CASAS and TABE tests provide a great deal of information about adult students’ academic skills and what areas of focus are needed. Aztec’s new data integration feature allows schools to “auto-magicly” convert CASAS & TABE results into individualized learning plans. This will simplify the workload for instructors while ensuring accurate levels of instruction.

Pharmacy Technician Training

🗓 July 24 (12:00 Pacific/3:00 Eastern)

Pharmacy Technician is one of the fastest growing career pathways in the country. Aztec’s Pharmacy Technician training programs prepare learners to take the PTCE or ExCPT national assessments needed to become a licensed or certified Pharmacy Technician. These preparation products are ideal for dual enrollment for high school diploma/equivalency candidates and/or for IET programs focusing on healthcare career pathways as they train students for the PCTE national exam. This webinar will focus on both Aztec’s Pharmacy Technician Training Program and Aztec’s Pharmacy Technician Excel.

Improving Students’ NRS Scores with A Tutor for CASAS® & A Tutor for TABE®

🗓 July 31 (12:00 Pacific/3:00 Eastern)

Lecture® – Aztec’s Newest Online Feature

🗓 August 14 (12:00 Pacific/3:00 Eastern)

This presentation will share Aztec’s online, add-on feature and the ways it can be used by instructors to create dynamic instructional experiences for their students. Lecture® allows instructors to record and present or present live instruction to their students on the Aztec® platform and include useful activities in their presentations – a whiteboard for notes and the ability to show and write on Aztec® Lessons and other digital media such as ePubs, mp4 videos, PowerPoint slides, and PDFs.

Individualized Learning Plans with Aztec’s Learning Views & Assignments

🗓 August 21 (12:00 Pacific/3:00 Eastern)

Aztec Features & Tools

🗓 August 28 (12:00 Pacific/3:00 Eastern)

Aztec offers an array of tools and reports for educators, but many go unused. This webinar will review some of the “new to you” tools including Masquerading, Realtime Monitor, Announcements, and Tags. These tools assist teachers in real-time monitoring of student progress, can guide lesson planning, and focus attention on educational gains.

Communication Skills

🗓 September 11 (12:00 Pacific/3:00 Eastern)

Join this webinar to learn how communication skills impact personal and workplace interactions. The presentation will include not only active listening and speaking skills and other face-to-face interactions, but also strong communication skills that learners need to convey information to others effectively and efficiently. The focus of this webinar will include four types of communication: verbal, nonverbally, written, and visual presentations.

Critical Thinking Skills

🗓 September 18 (12:00 Pacific/3:00 Eastern)

Learners need factual knowledge, but is that enough to be successful in our classrooms, in training programs, or in the workforce? Teaching critical thinking skills along with academics empowers adult learners to solve problems and develop real-life reasoning skills. This webinar explores how to teach critical thinking skills and provides strategies for active teaching and learning.

Self-Management Skills

🗓 September 25 (12:00 Pacific/3:00 Eastern)

Learners need a variety of skills to be successful in the work world. These include using resources and information, working with others, understanding systems, and obtaining skills necessary to successfully transition to and complete postsecondary education, training, and employment. This webinar will provide an overview of self-management skills from OCTAE’s The Skills That Matter and showcase how Aztec’s solutions can increase skill levels for adult learners.
