Online courses consist of animation sequences and videos that illustrate the content. Learning is tested with embedded quizzes during the course and overall knowledge is tested at the end of each course via a content quiz. A score of 80% or better must be achieved in order to receive the course certificate.

 

A high speed internet connection is recommended to ensure smooth play of videos and animations.
