Exactly what are Signs' WWWorkshops?WWWorkshops offer Professional Development opportunities to meet continuing education needs and career goals. WWWorkshops are available on CD ROM and can be viewed in the comfort of your home or office at a time that is convenient for your busy schedule.How Does It Work?Imagine sitting down at your computer and viewing a video workshop given by some of the most prestigious presenters around the country. CEU credits will be given for successfully answering test questions on the content! Each workshop will vary in length depending upon the amount of time taken to participate in the CD workshop and the activities. The interactive format includes video clips (varying length) with overhead information, activities, and post-test questions.How do the costs compare to on-site workshops?On-site workshops from a workshop host perspective require presenter honorarium, travel costs including airfare, hotel, parking, meals, etc. As well hosts incur a charge typically for room usage, equipment, snacks, CEUs, etc. From a participant perspective, costs include registration fees, opportunity costs (what you could have been doing with that time) including loss of work, family time, etc. Additionally, there could be childcare costs, substitute costs, travel charges, etc. The cost to attend a one-day (6 hour) workshop can easily be over $150 with all of the previous costs considered while a Signs' CD 6 hour WWWorkshop costs less than $90, and the streaming version of a 6-hour WWWorkshop is less than $55!. This method of earning CEUs and professional development is cost and time effective under any cost/benefit analysis. Additionally, under our SWAP program (Share WWWorkshops Accrue Points), you can share your CD workshops with colleagues and earn points toward free workshops in the future and get all of your CEUs for FREE!!!Signs of Development is a sponsor in accordance with RID's Certification Maintenance Program and guarantees your satisfaction!! State and ASLTA credits will be awarded upon request.
