• Engage with the content. Specifically developed
for the online learning environment, this course is much more than a series of video lectures.

assignments.

guide you through the course, answering questions and providing personalized feedback on
assignments.
• Fit learning into your schedule. You can access course content and
complete assignments when it’s convenient for you.
• Track your progress. With built-in
activities like Knowledge Checks, discussions and quizzes, it’s easy to know that you’re on the
right track to learning the lesson content, processes and strategies.

resources. In addition to the standard course content, you’ll find a library of resources
developed to support you during and after the course, as well as optional resources to dig deeper
