Great news--at least for those instructors that have Internet access: The IHEA Journal is now available online to Washington's hunter education instructors. Access directions are printed below.
This is another first-in-the-nation opportunity, made possible with the very helpful support of Brian Thurston (Journal publisher) and others. Brian agreed to make us his "test case" after we explained our twin sustainability and cost-saving goals of transitioning from paper to "e" products. (NOTE: Eventually the Journal will only be available to instructors with web access. Mailing and shipping costs continue to escalate, and every dollar spent on mailing and shipping costs represents money that is not spent on either student or instructor training or materials. We hope that every hunter education team has at least one person they can rely upon in the future for such e-communications.)
One word of caution: The file size is H-U-G-E, so if you only have dial-up access be prepared for a long, slow process. With high-speed access the file only takes two minutes to load. Please notify me directly (mikitmjm@dfw.wa.gov) if you experience any problems accessing the file.
The Journal is available at: huntershandbook.com/hej
The user name for all Washington hunter education instructors is: instructor (case sensitive).
The password for all Washington hunter education instructors is: wa123 (case sensitive).
The quality and resolution is excellent and I hope you and your fellow instructors enjoy the new format.
Future enhancements include adding past issues so that the entire history of the IHEA Journal is available as reference material for hunter education instructors.
Thanks again to Brian and his very capable team at Focus Group, Inc.!
