What to Expect

How the Course Works

  • Start off each module watching a quick (3-6 minute) video introducing each module.
  • Take the self-assessment quiz. These are diagnostic assessments and are ungraded. They are there to help you understand where your current knowledge stands. 
  • Dive deeper into the content. Review readings and resources - the key is to self-differentiate. Choose what that works best for you and helps you better understand the content and engage with the lesson. 
  • Post to the discussion board, interact with your classmates if you choose to, and make connections.
  • A final project, optional for all, a requirement for graduate credit
  • Receive your completion certificate for 45 continuing education hours or 3 graduate-level continuing education credits (as applicable).
  • Runs on the Thinkific platform.
