Abstract/Contents: | "The Georgia Certified Landscape Professional program is a joint project of the Georgia Green Industry Association, the Georgia Turfgrass Association, the Metro Atlanta Landscape and Turf Association, and the Univ. of Georgia. It is composed of four written components and nine outdoor, hands-on components and requires 2 days to administer. In 2000 a web site was initiated to assist landscapers in preparing for the exam. It includes streaming video that provides an overview of the test. Another component includes narrated Power Point lectures on each of the 15 chapters in the certification manual. After viewing each lecture, the user is encouraged to complete a multiple-choice exam pertaining to the lecture. His test results are printed instantaneously, and he can see which questions he missed. In another component of the site, called Plant Take-off and Plant Selection, the user prints a landscape blueprint and answers questions relative to plan. This practice problem simulates one given on the actual exam. Another written component requires participants to identify 50 common ornamental plants, weeds, and turfgrasses from a list of 274 plants. The study site will include several images of each of the 270 plants that participants can view. The web site also includes images of many common insect, disease, and environmental problems, another component of the exam. Persons enrolling in the test will be provided a user ID and password to access the study site. It is our goal to have the site available by 1 July 2001." |
