How to Use the Lobbying Education On-Demand Program

A menu on the right side of your screen will provide a guide to the slides in the program. If you can’t see this menu, click on the three-bars icon in the top right corner and it will appear. Arrow buttons in the bottom right corner of the screen will allow you to advance to the next slide or go back to a previous slide once all of information on the slide information has loaded. Some slides require that you click the boxes displayed on the slide or, in the case of “quiz” slides, you will need to select the “continue” button before proceeding. Closed captioning can be enabled by clicking on the “cc” icon at the bottom of the screen. The “⟳” icon will allow you to replay a slide. When you complete the program and proceed to the last slide, a link there will allow you to document your participation and you will receive an email confirmation.  Completion time should be approximately 90 minutes. 

This program is a work in progress. Please email us at Education.ethics@ethics.nc.gov with your feedback.  Thank you!
