NEW YORK, May 8 /PRNewswire/ -- McGraw-Hill Construction (MHC), a part of
The McGraw-Hill Companies (NYSE: MHP), today announced its new interactive
Continuing Education Center, the first online learning center to provide
American Institute of Architects (AIA) approved courses in a "mentored
learning" format, which seamlessly directs users who get a wrong answer to the
exact section where the misunderstood topic is discussed.
The Center's clean, intuitive design allows users to easily access content
organized by date, topic, sponsor, keyword, popularity and multimedia type.
Special features, such as Test Tracker and course alerts, keep users updated
on both their progress and new personally relevant learning opportunities.
Users who read print articles or take courses, offered for free online at
ArchitecturalRecord.com, ENR.com, GreenSourceMag.com and Construction.com,
will receive Continuing Education Learning Units through the AIA Continuing
Education Program.
"Over 500,000 AIA Learning Units have been earned by thousands of
architects through Architectural Record since 1997," said Laura Viscusi,
publisher of Architectural Record and vice president of McGraw-Hill
Construction Media. "With the new McGraw-Hill Construction Continuing
Education Center, the entire design and construction profession can come
together online to learn about topics ranging from sustainability to project
delivery to product innovation. We are excited to offer this new learning
platform, where users can earn credits on their own time, in a mentoring
environment that promotes career development and meets professional
requirements."
Demos of the new MHC Continuing Education Center will be available at the
McGraw-Hill Construction Booth #15011 at the AIA 2008 National Convention and
Design Exposition at the Boston Convention Center on May 15-17.
