Here are some specific features of this course.

This course has been designed with self-paced activities that you should complete in a specific order. Activities have been clustered by sections, and you will need to complete all activities in a section before the next section will become available. You may take as long as you need to complete a section, but you will not be able to advance until it has been completed. For example, once you complete all activities in Section 1, and you see green check boxes next to all required activities, then Section 2 will become available. You will likely need to refresh your browser when you complete a section if you wish to move on immediately.

There are assignments in this course where you will be asked to complete a document or document plans, then submit to the course facilitators. Once you have submitted an assignment, you should give the course facilitator at least one week to review the assignment and mark as complete. For any assessments (e.g., quizzes, checks for understanding) or assignments built into this course, you will be expected to obtain a passing score; however, you will have multiple attempts to pass and you will receive specific feedback to guide you if you're struggling with something in particular.

There are forums in this course which are monitored by the facilitators. These have been designed to help with your understanding and for the facilitators to check your progress. If you do not complete the forums in the manner designed, the facilitators may require that you complete the activity again. For instance, if the prompt asks for a thoughtful response that should be at least three sentences, a three word response will not suffice.

Although this course does not have required synchronous meetings, we are providing the option for virtual touch points with the course facilitators in the form of Office Hours. Although you will be in communication with the course facilitators through forums and assignments, Office Hours allow you to have live conversations where you can get your specific questions answered.


When you have finished, return to the course homepage and mark this activity as complete.
