Animal Courses: Time for a Refresh!

While the world waited out the worst of COVID-19 stay-at-home orders, we were frantically working (at home) to rebuild dozens of Academy courses that previously required Flash—because as of January 1 this year, internet browsers no longer support that format or run those courses.

What does this mean for you? It means that if you have courses sitting in your “My Courses” queue that have been there since early 2020, you may get an error message when you try to load them. But never fear! There is a fix. All you have to do is “hide” the course from your “My Courses” view by selecting the course from the catalog, and load it again.

You’ll find the icon/button to hide a course below the course name—a file folder with a downward arrow on it. (You’ll get a message asking if you’re sure.) Then, navigate to the Course Catalog, select the second icon at the far left of the entire page, and type the name of the course in the search bar. When you see it, select “Learn More,” and you’ll be able to add it to your courses. Navigate back to “My Courses,” and you’ll see the new courses in your list.

Another benefit of the updated courses is that they will run on a computer, a tablet, or even your phone. Whether you’re an interpreter, educator, docent, guide, or wildlife care specialist, we invite you to explore all our animal species modules.
