Auburn has a policy in place where once a year, an audit needs to take place of outside curriculum in order to keep awarding CEUs\u00a0(Continuing Education Units).<br \/>\n<em>At left, Wanda Lambert\u00a0is pictured with Watermark Learning&#8217;s Chris Anderson, VP of Operations and Brian Maas, Director of Client Solutions.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Watermark Learning has a unique niche where Auburn doesn\u2019t offer the same type of courses.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe courses are a compliment to what we\u2019re doing,\u201d said Lambert. \u201cInstead of trying to duplicate a course, it makes more sense to refer students to Watermark Learning\u2019s program. An added benefit is that Watermark has an established name.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>During the audit, Lambert sits in on live in-person classes that are taking place at the time in order to observe and take note that learning objectives and course descriptions are accurate. When there is a new instructor, new courses, or when changes to a course\/program are made, an audit is needed in those areas. This includes reviewing an instructor\u2019s resume, learning objectives, course descriptions, and outlines by an expert in the particular field of study who will vet the program.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to auditing classes and materials, Lambert met with Watermark\u2019s staff regarding the certification process and if any procedures should be changed or if updates are needed so that the process runs smoothly. She\u2019ll also uncover if any new classes are on the horizon.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe need to be aware of new course development and be prepared in thinking how it will fit,\u201d Lambert said.<\/p>\n<p>Associate and Masters Certificate classes are bundled in order to meet development needs of students. To keep improving, classes may be added or removed; Watermark is able to adjust once a course is already vetted.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWatermark Learning has very clear quality and standards that are equal to the quality and standards of Auburn,\u201d Lambert added, \u201cWe\u2019re proud to partner with Watermark. There is a mutual respect and benefit.
