Project Description:
Need
The EVER Boater Education Courses have been identified for revision, in addition to ongoing hosting support to maintain consistency in visitor outreach and engagement with the EVER boater community. Specifically, the proposed project will evaluate the existing training, revise and redevelop the course content accordingly, and redeploy both the English and Spanish versions of the revised course. Throughout, the existing courses will be hosted and managed in the Eppley-Expand catalog; and when replaced with the revised content, will continue to be hosted through the remaining term of this cooperative agreement.
Overall goals and objectives
Course revision and hosting projects include the following components, summarized below.
Course Revision, Web Hosting, Help Desk Support and Critical Fixes,
Basic Services: Annual Usage & Technical Reporting
Evaluation and Course Reporting
Unusual features

Expected benefits
The overall public benefit of this project, improving the general public's knowledge related to recreational boating in EVER, is critical to stewarding the resources at Everglades National Parks and maintaining a safe experience for the public.
