The Agency&#8217;s learning management system (LMS) provided an excellent home for us; but, we and all the other programs that use this LMS have grown so much we are bursting at the seams (literally &#8211; we&#8217;re breaking the LMS from so much use). A good problem to have, no?<\/p>\n<p>So we here at Master Wellness Volunteer World Headquarters are pleased to announce the Agency is transitioning to a bright, shiny, new LMS &#8211; and we&#8217;re moving, too! The new LMS is going to provide a better training experience as well as a more reliable, stable platform, both for the trainees and course developers. The transition won&#8217;t be without its issues &#8211; getting everything moved, learning a new system, training everyone on its use, etc., etc., etc. &#8211; but certainly a net positive.<\/p>\n<p>Now some bad news: there will be a brief gap between the current\/old LMS shutting down and the new LMS coming online (see note above about literally breaking the current LMS). The current\/old LMS will shut down 21 Mar (in fact, it is now closed to new enrollments), the new LMS will not come online for a few weeks.<\/p>\n<p>We appreciate your patience with us as we work to re-revolutionize the MWV training experience.
