In a self-paced course, the following aspects apply:
-
Immediate Access: Once the course opens, all the course content is made available to you. This means you can start exploring the materials right away, without any waiting period.
-
Flexibility in Progress: You have the freedom to work at your own pace throughout the course until the final end date. This allows you to adjust your learning schedule according to your availability and personal preferences.
-
Suggested Schedule: Although self-paced, the course typically provides a suggested schedule to help you stay organized and maintain a steady learning progress. This recommended timeline assists in structuring your studies and keeping you on track towards completing the course within a reasonable timeframe.
-
Certificate Eligibility: If you achieve the minimum passing score, you will be awarded a certificate in about 24 hours after you complete the course and request the certificate. It's important to note that you can continue working on the course and improving your score until the end date, even after earning the certificate.
-
Upgrading for Graded Assessments: Upgrading to the verified track enables you to submit graded assessments at any time before the course's end date. This feature allows you to receive feedback and have your work evaluated by course instructors, adding an extra layer of engagement and accountability to your learning experience.
Please keep in mind that for open response assessments, the due dates are fixed and set by the course instructor. These due dates cannot be adjusted and are independent of the suggested schedule provided for the course.
