WattStopper starts eCampus online training site for lighting controls

by AF 0313 i3 — March 15, 2010—WattStopper has launched eCampus, a comprehensive and interactive online training site designed to make learning about lighting controls enjoyable and rewarding. Specifically designed for all influencers, including electrical contractors, distributors, ESCOs, and specifiers, the courses cover control applications in residential, commercial, and industrial settings.

The free site features two offerings: eWards, where participants earn points redeemable for merchandise from the companion storefront, and eCredited, which offers approved courses for professionals interested in continuing education credits.

Typical eWards courses can be completed in five minutes and include written or multimedia content delivered in a user-friendly style. Students earn rewards by completing a brief quiz that provides immediate feedback to answer selection as well as the ability to revise answers in real time and without penalty. Reward points are redeemable at the eWards storefront. The site maintains password-protected records of user visits, reward point balances, and courses completed.

eCredited courses are approved by the American Institute of Architects (AIA) and the National Council on Qualifications for the Lighting Professions (NCQLP) and are recognized by many other organizations that accept AIA or NCQLP credits for continuing education.
