Change by Design is happy to announce a collaboration with Strategic Resolution Experts, Inc., a management consulting and IT service management company based in West Virginia with a primary clientele of federal government departments and agencies.

In this collaboration, Change by Design President Dr. Sue Ebbers serves as the lead instructional designer to FEMA’s National Fire Academy. Working with three subject matter experts, Dr. Ebbers will storyboard an eight-hour eLearning introductory course for all members of the U.S. fire service, and other first responders as well.

The course, titled – Introduction to Strategic Community Risk Reduction – will develop an understanding of the process to reduce or eliminate risks related to fire, life safety, and all hazards, as well as serve as a foundational course to any of the fire service roles, including not only fire fighters, but fire marshals, fire chiefs, fire investigations, and others.

Dr. Ebbers will work with SRE partner e-PAGA to build the course using Dr. Ebbers storyboards. There will be client reviews and testing, as well as a pilot to determine how effective the training is for actual target learners. The project is slated to be completed by June of 2019.
