We’ve Got an Easier Way for You to Register for AEA Professional Learning!

As a busy educator, we know you need an easier way to find, register, and pay for AEA professional learning courses. So Iowa’s AEAs are launching a new, more user-friendly AEA Professional Learning Registration System!

While the new system will have separate sites for each AEA and AEA Learning Online, you’ll still have access to courses from all AEAs and find the sites easier to navigate.

As we continue to enhance the system and introduce new features, we’re confident you will benefit from being able to:

• Browse course catalogs without having to be logged in.
• Log in with identAEA, which uses Google or Microsoft credentials.
• Create a new account instantaneously, rather than waiting 24 hours for activation.

What about my course history and transcript?
Each person’s course history is currently being imported into the new system. As the transcript feature in the new system is being finalized, you may want to download your transcript from the former registration system, as that system will not be available after Sept. 30, 2024. Instructions for how to download your transcript are available here. If you need assistance, don’t hesitate to contact your local AEA.

What about instructors?
Instructors should have already entered their credentials (vita) in the new system. If you are an instructor, and you have not yet done this, refer to this communication for more information.

If you are an instructor who is proposing a new course, make sure to enter the course in the registration system of the AEA you are teaching the course for. Example: If you are teaching a course for Great Prairie AEA, go to the Great Prairie AEA registration site to enter your course proposal.

Questions?
If you have any questions or need assistance with the new system, contact your AEA’s Professional Learning Office.

An Easier Way to Register for AEA Courses is on the Horizon!

Iowa’s AEAs are collaborating to move to a new registration system for our professional learning courses. We’ve heard your feedback — you need an easier way to find, register and pay for courses. Stay tuned as we work to bring you a new system!

What does this mean for me?
A new and improved interface and experience! It will be easier to navigate and locate learning opportunities.

What about my course history and transcripts?
We are working with our current vendor to import each person’s course history into the new system. There’s nothing you need to do at this time!

In the coming months, there will be ongoing communication about the new system. If you have any questions, contact your AEA’s Professional Learning Office.

What does this mean for courses ending by July 31, 2024?
Tentatively, courses that end by July 31 will continue to be housed on our current registration system.

What does this mean for courses going into the new professional learning system?
Participants will still be able to easily access our catalog/registration system from our agency website. Training and support will be provided for instructors.

Instructors
What does this mean for courses an instructor has created in the past?
We are working to identify a process to export course data so you can easily access and re-enter course information as you teach them.

What about my instructor credentials (vita)?
Instructors’ credentials (vita) will need to be re-entered into the new system. There will be an opportunity to copy/paste and download/upload data into the new system. More information for instructors will be coming soon.
