WASHINGTON, DC-Mortgage Bankers Association of America members will now have the opportunity to use a new product brought to them in a joint effort of the MBA and United Guaranty Corp., a mortgage insurance company. The product uses technology and traditional classroom practices to create a “blended learning” format with real estate finance education products, services and information.

According to a spokesperson for the MBA, “Blended learning combines traditional classroom-based training with technology-enhanced training. Students attend a traditional classroom-based workshop and accompany that training with a variety of online educational options.” Online education will be completed at CampusMBA, the association’s online learning center.

The MBA-United Guaranty program will feature updated industry content and standards. Online activities will include discussion boards, reading materials, interactive activities, “Internet field trips” to recommended sites and assessments. Additionally, according to an MBA spokesperson, “United Guaranty will conduct stand-up training sessions in affiliation with MBA conference activities throughout the year.” Workshop topics to prepare for the conferences include emerging markets, automated underwriting, credit scoring, fraud detection and loan origination basics.
