Types of a course
EducateMe has two options when creating a course: a scheduled and a self-paced one. In self-paced courses, learners can start anytime and complete activities at their convenience (unless you set a deadline of a course), whereas in scheduled courses, content is released according to a predefined schedule, often with live sessions and specific deadlines.
How to navigate a course
Program is a fundamental collection of learning materials, structured within the learning curriculum through activities - lessons, events (for scheduled courses), assignments, forms, certifications, SCORM, quizzes and peer review mode.
To finish the course, learners need to complete these activities successfully.
