Chapter 3: Additional Instructions

This material is to be supplied by your ATD Chapter Leadership. It will contain supplemental information about the specific way you do things in YOUR Chapter. This material won’t be added to the dashboard here; instead ask your leaders to send their Chapter 3 materials directly to you. It might be a PDF, Google Doc, or Word document.

To customize this orientation for your Chapter, see

Guidelines for ATD Chapter Leaders.

Please note that the dashboard and orientation modules cannot be modified in any way. However, if you have a volunteer eLearning developer in your Chapter, you could ask them about creating your own eLearning modules using a tool such as Storyline 360.

Resources for eLearning developers and instructional designers are available HERE.
