Continuing Education Credit• A credit value is assigned to CMAA courses and seminars in units of Professional Development Hours
(PDH), Learning Units (LU), and CCM Recertification Points. CMAA guarantees that course material meets the minimum requirements for a PDH, which is 60 minutes of instruction, or increments thereof.
• CMAA is a registered provider of continuing education for the National Council of Examiners for Engineering and Surveying (NCEES). Certificates are available through the NCEES/ACEC Registered Continuing Education Program (RCEP) at www.rcep.net All transcripts are reported based on the email address provided to CMAA when you complete the online attendance form. • “CMAA has met the standards and requirements of the Registered Continuing Education Program.
Credit earned on completing of this program will be reported to RCEP at rcep.net. A certificate of completion will be issued to each participant. As such, it doesn’t not include content that may be deemed or construed to be an approval or endorsement by the RCEP.”
• CMAA is registered with the American Institute of Architects (AIA) as an approved CES provider of LUs. One educational contact hour equals one (1) LU. To receive LUs through CMAA, you must provide your AIA member number on all registration materials and attendance forms.
• Not all sessions and activities offered may be acceptable for continuing education credit in your state. Please check your state licensing board’s requirements before submitting your credits.
• All courses approved by CMAA count toward CCM recertification points. For more information on recertification points, please visit https://recerttrack.com/home.php?portal=24

Agenda1. Background2. Learning Objectives3. Mobile Applications4. Next Steps5. Sources of Information6. Q&A
Next Steps1. Setup a Technology Committee to review potential
hardware and applications/software2. Establish kinds/types of technology currently in use
(consult IT Dept)3. Determine deficient workflows4. Find appropriate technology (mobile application)5. Pick a project test group6. A-B Testing7. Determine viability 8. Incorporate and train
Uses for tablets and applications on projects:How to use new technology to streamline jobsite information workflows:• Replacing paper plans and specs with electronic documents that
authorized team members can access from any device;• Reducing the need for IT support and computing hardware at jobsite
trailers;• Speeding up the submission and approval of change requests,
invoices, RFIs and other field-generated documents;• Real-time linking of job financial and operational data, allowing
managers to react to potential problems before they become real losses;
• Eliminating the need for multiple trips between jobsites and the office to deliver, gather or process information.
