Because the Michigan CAP is such a comprehensive resource for K-12 youth and adult learners, MCC has created several one-page resources about its features
These “one-pagers” are designed for CPVs to help the youth or adult learners they serve use specific activities and resources on Michigan CAP, and also help these individuals explore the site as a whole
