ARM Learning Management System (LMS)

Our Learning Management System (LMS) is an online portal that allows you to watch tutorial videos, track your progress, and earn certification for a variety of courses.
 
Certification of ARM is a great way to boost your resume and help you navigate ARM to work quickly and efficiently. This is an excellent tool for new employees to quickly get up to speed with the software, freeing up resources of the "ARM Expert" in your group that typically performs the on-boarding process!
 
This portal allows you to grow in your understanding of ARM as new courses become available. Even experienced users can brush up on the latest features and changes added to ARM each year!
 
 
Below are courses within the training portal. Some may be assigned automatically upon signing up, while others can be found in the Course Catalog on the home page when logged in.
 
 

ARM Beginner Certification

Start here to learn the basics of the ARM program. We introduce the software, set up the protocol plan for the experiment, create a trial, and enter data. This two-hour course is divided into three parts:
  • ARM Introduction (21:31)
  • Protocol Basics (44:39)
  • Trial Basics (50:32)
 
This course is ideal for new employees and students. It can also be a nice refresher for anyone who had to learn ARM on their own. Completion of this course readies you for the first research season with ARM and certifies you as an ARM Beginner!
 
 

Getting Started with ST

An introduction to summarizing multiple trials with Summary across Trials. We cover the three steps to create a criteria file, the ST Summary analysis, and the final output report and graphs.

It is recommended to have a research season of ARM use before taking this course, to have enough experience with trial files and assessment data.
 
 
 

ARM Mobile

Learn the basics of the ARM Mobile app, and how to set up the connection with ARM software. 
 
ARM Mobile facilitates the core principles for quality research: on-site data entry, record assessments consistently across dates and locations, review data on-site, and professional data transfer.
 
 

Basic Statistics with ARM

In this video series, we explore the basics of ag research statistics in relation to ARM software, and how to use ARM tools to prepare and analyze your trial data.
 
You can follow along as we demonstrate how to confirm the values that have been entered into ARM trials, review the data for assumptions of AOV, and then perform an analysis with the AOV Means Table report.
