(PRESS RELEASE)
Introducing a brand new IBPA member benefit!
Today, IBPA is pleased to announce an innovative new member benefit: a cloud-based e-learning platform that integrates social media techniques — including chatting, posting comments, blogging, and sharing materials — with quality content vetted especially for IBPA members. We think you're going to like it!
Over the next few days, all current IBPA members will receive a personal invite to IBPA’s new e-learning platform through OpenLearning. Please give us until the end of the week to reach everyone. IBPA members can login to OpenLearning here. If you don’t yet have login credentials, please email Mimi Le to request them.
When you receive your invite and login to IBPA’s private learning portal, you'll have access to a variety of educational courses. Many members will find immediate value in the free IBPA Webinars and Ask the Experts Online program. For a quick tour through the new system, click on the YouTube video below.
