Course Maintenance scheduled for August 25 – 26, 2018

The 8 courses listed below are scheduled to undergo maintenance. The courses will be offline beginning Saturday morning (August 25) at 7:00 a.m. CST. We expect maintenance to be completed by Sunday morning (August 26) at 10:00 a.m. CST. A blog post will go out when maintenance is complete.

• ASME-0101 e-TNG Inspect Rectifier and Obtain Readings
• ASME-0101 KNT Inspect Rectifier and Obtain Readings
• ASME-1261 e-TNG Walking Gas Leakage Survey
• ASME-1261 KNT Walking Gas Leakage Survey
• ASME-1271 e-TNG Mobile Gas Leakage Survey – Flame Ionization
• ASME-1271 KNT Mobile Gas Leakage Survey – Flame Ionization
• ASME-1321 e-TNG Damage Prevention During Excavation Activities By or On Behalf of the Operator
• ASME-1321 KNT Damage Prevention During Excavation Activities By or On Behalf of the Operator

These courses are using the refreshed MEA brand and new user interface. In addition, these updated courses will also have the new knowledge test functionality. If a course session is ended for any reason prior to receiving a passed or failed score, the status will change to “In Progress” and the EnergyU Administrator will be required to reset the course. A trend toward tighter regulations and a desire to have more oversight of online knowledge tests has prompted this recommendation by the MEA Technical Training Committee.

Remember… After a course has undergone maintenance, it is important that users verify a status of “Not started” to ensure proper recording of a new score.

Users Should Update Adobe Flash Player to Ensure All Content/Audio is Displayed

We’ve had a couple users switch from using Internet Explorer to Firefox, and they reported that the Flash audio and animations stopped playing for them. This was because they had not installed the Flash player for Firefox. Just like Internet Explorer, Firefox also needs the Flash plugin to play the EnergyU course content.

MEA is moving away from Flash, and as courses are updated they will not longer have this requirement. In the meantime, use this link to check your Flash Player.
