This is great news for AODA members, making Continuing Professional
Education even easier for us to fulfill our Professional Development
Portfolios.
AODA has a Leadership Team member devoted to assisting members with CPE,
Katrina Chim. She is currently compiling lists of CPE opportunities
that are ideal for AODA members and is working on updating the CPE / PDP
section of the AODA Member Only section of the website - log in with
your ADA member number at www.EatrightOverseas.org and give Katrina your
ideas and input so that all AODA members will have the most
opportunities possible for CPE.
(You'll note this e-mail was sent to me in December - I've been
extremely computer / phone challenged since November and periodically
most of 2007, I hope things are improved now, sorry for the lapse in
communication with you!)

************************************************************************
*Journal and CDR Team Up to Offer Continuing Professional Education Online*
The/ Journal of the American Dietetic Association /and the Commission on
Dietetic Registration (CDR) have joined forces to bring a new benefit to
ADA members. Now ADA members can complete Continuing Professional
Education (CPE) quizzes electronically through ADA's Online Business
Center. The quizzes will be scored instantaneously online, and once
participants complete an entire quiz correctly, they'll be able to add
the CPE credit for the activity directly into their Professional
Development Portfolios.
Beginning with the January 2008 /Journal/, CPE quizzes will be online
only and will no longer appear in the /Journal/. For quizzes published
in the past year, members have two options: complete the quizzes in the
print /Journal/ and submit them by mail, or take the quizzes
electronically using the new online submission system, as all quizzes
for the previous 12 months are already available online. This new
member benefit is part of the /Journal/'s ongoing effort to respond to
reader requests and stay on the cutting edge. In March of 2005, ADA
responded to members by making the CPE credit available through the
/Journal /free to all members. Now, we're making it even easier to
obtain /Journal/ CPE credit by offering CPE quizzes in an interactive
online format.
To complete a CPE quiz online, follow these simple step-by-step
instructions:
1. Go to www.eatright.org <http://www.eatright.org/> and log in with
your username and password
2. Click the "Profile/Pay Dues" link at the top of the screen. This
takes you to ADA's Online Business Center.
3. In the Online Business Center, click the "Journal Article Quiz"
button. This will take you to a list of all the Journal CPE
quizzes you've completed so far. You also have the option to
print out a Certificate of Completion for any quizzes you've taken
in the past.
4. To take a new quiz, click "Additional Journal CPE Articles." This
takes you to a list of all available Journal CPE articles for the
past 12 months. Any CPE quizzes you've already taken are marked
completed with a green check mark and cannot be taken again.
5. Choose a quiz. On the quiz page, click the button next to the
answer of your choice for each question. Click "Submit Answers"
to have your answers automatically scored. Any incorrectly
answered questionss will be highlighted with a red "X" and must be
answered again. Once you've answered all questions correctly,
you'll be automatically redirected to the "Add to Activity Log"
page, where you'll be able to add the CPE credit for the activity
you've just completed to your Professional Development Portfolio.
6. Next, select the Learning Need Code for the activity (suggested
codes are in the /Journal/ above the title of the article on which
the quiz is based).
7. Finally, answer a question about how you'll use the knowledge or
skill you acquired through completing this activity and click "Add
Activity." And you're done!
If you have any questions about using the new online CPE submission
system, please contact ADA's Member Service Center at 800/877-1600, ext.
5000, Monday--Friday, 8am--5pm.

Note: My e-mail has been terrible since November 2007.
* The Malawi Telephone service has been on strike since January 2 (and I have a dial up service).
* I've had no computer for part of January
* I am struggling to keep up. If you sent something important and I've not responded, please resend assuming it is lost or buried deep in the rubble.
* Thanks for your patience.
