We hope you will consider sharing information about your learner activities and/or projects.

Graduated professionals who continue to perform learning activities may send any combination of up to three total learning and project summaries with or without extended submissions each calendar year.

Extended Learning Or Project Submission

We invite all registrants to share some explanatory details about your Learning activities or Projects by creating a hosted video or text. These submissions expand on the basic summary questionnaire information and let you tell the more complete story in your own voice. For your convenience an Extended Learning or Project Submission can be sent at the same time as your Learning or Project Summary Questionnaire or at a later time. We currently do not have an example of an extended learning or project submission.

Hosted videos can be up to seven minutes in length.
Texts can be up to 1000 words in length and contain up to three images.

For registrants seeking ideas to help guide your video or written content, we provide a list of sample prompts below.
