MicroTest Webcasts
Annually, MicroTest offers a series of Webcasts designed to make participating in MicroTest easier. Webcast sessions related to MicroTest Program Performance provide a detailed look at each worksheet in the Excel workbook, helpful hints for completion, and a question and answer period. Each Webcast lasts approximately 1 hour. These sessions are a great way to introduce new staff to MicroTest and also provide a valuable refresher to experienced members.
Six weekly sessions are delivered live, but also are recorded and archived on-line for future reference by members. These Webcasts are currently only available to MicroTest members. For more information about becoming a member, contact Tamra Thetford at microtest@aspeninst.org.
