Comprehensive resource will provide a broad array of building product information and education
NEW YORK, NY (September 30, 2008) — Construction Business Media, owner of Architectural Products magazine, illuminate magazine, and Architectural SSL magazine today announced it has entered into an exclusive strategic alliance with CS Learning Solutions to build and manage a new in-magazine “Read-for Credit” program with concurrent web-based versions of quality continuing education courses dedicated to serving the fast-growing demand for information serving the career development needs of architects and design professionals.
CS Learning Solutions is a leading producer of content and content delivery systems for the American Institute of Architects Continuing Education (AIA/CES), Construction Specifications Institute (CSI/CEN), U.S.Green Building Council (USGBC) and affiliated professional organizations. “This strategic alliance with Construction Business Media affirms our long-standing commitment to help professionals balance an increasing workload with changing requirements to keep their knowledge current and their credentials up-to-date,” said CS Learning Solutions Senior Vice President of Sales, Jim Serio.
Tim Shea, Managing Partner/Director Business Development – Construction Business Media, emphasized that “offering building product manufacturers the opportunity to cost-effectively develop both a read-for credit and online continuing education unit, with online testing, rapid scoring and automated reporting of credit to the University of Oklahoma is a true industry first.” Upon successful completion of the course in either medium, students are able to print a course credit certificate. In our read for credit version the course is effectively and fully executed in 4 full pages of text and images since our large format means more room for text and supporting images and less need for a student to search elsewhere for additional reading material, which tends to limit full participation” said Shea.
