NCCER recently released additional levels of its Masonry curriculum online, developed in conjunction with the National Concrete Masonry Association (NCMA), Mason Contractors Association of America (MCAA) and Florida Concrete Masonry Education Council (FCMEC). Available on NCCERconnect, the digital Masonry Levels 1 - 3 include brand new videos, interactive animated figures, flash cards and quizzes.

“With the increased emphasis on virtual learning over the course of the last year, releasing Masonry on NCCERconnect helps to shift perceptions of the craft,” said Darryl Fales, chairman of FCMEC’s Board of Directors. “It illustrates the technology elements of masonry and the upward mobility available in the industry.”

The NCCERconnect eBook includes digital animations that help make difficult material easier for students to learn. Instructors can also take advantage of this resource by utilizing the classroom management tools to instruct their students more efficiently. The course materials are pre-loaded and ready for student use, but instructors can organize these materials to suit the needs of their classroom.
