You can select a topic at the top of the page to filter options. For example: Active Learning.
Each topic will filter to show you a listing of different sessions available for viewing. A double asterisk (**) before the session title indicates that the content is available for ACVREP or SBEC credit. If there is NOT a double asterisk (**) next to the title, then the content is not approved for credit; it is only available for viewing. Each listing available for credit will have a link to register in ESC-Works.

**Designing Routines – September 2017
