Is the LevelUP micro-credential program and the Research Management Specialist Certificate completely online?
Yes! The LevelUP micro-credential program is 100% online and can be completed at the learner's own pace and at their own time.
What is the difference between mGuides and modules?
mGuides are compact learning experiences that serve as "how-to" guides for the learner to understand a specific skill set. Each mGuide takes about 1 hour to complete and there is no assessment. Completing three mGuides earns a Level 1 badge.
Modules are more in-depth learning courses that go over larger topical areas (like Pre-Award, Post-Award Finance, Research Compliance, etc.) and are completed by taking a 50-question assessment. Each module takes about 2 to 5 hours to complete.
How much time do I have to complete the mGuide or module and assessment?
Learners have 365 days from date of purchase to complete the mGuide or module and assessment. Within that time, you may complete the coursework at any time that works best for you and your schedule.
If I close the course, will my progress still be saved?
Yes. The courses are designed to save your progress and will automatically reload where you left off if you sign-out of the program.
Is there an online assessment?
There is an online assessment for LevelUP modules that users must pass to complete the LevelUP module and earn their badge.
