Examine Relevant and Timely Topics in Detail
APS Learning Collections put relevant and timely topics “under the microscope,” with the same deep dive into key topic areas as you've come to expect from
APS Courses. Paired with discussion forums for active, online engagement, our Learning Collections offer a variety of live and on-demand topic-driven resources for easy access and review on your own schedule.
-
Let Plant Health attendees revisit content in detail or discover content missed at the annual meeting.
-
Allow non-attendees to access and learn about key topics in plant pathology.
-
Provide everyone with the opportunity to join live conversations with other plant pathologists to build community and share subject matter expertise.
All Collections Include
-
Subject-matter-expert-selected resources compiled from various APS sources to provide an overview of the current research on the topic.
-
Private discussion forum for sharing resources and Q&A amongst participants. The Community is also monitored by the subject matter experts who contributed to the collection. If you are not an APS member, your enrollment fee includes Community access.
-
A completion certificate if you complete all the resources included in the collection.
