•    The Learns its!, Discuss its!, Share its!, Apply its!, and Check its! are mandatory components of the course and must be completed within the two-week duration of the module in which they appear
•    Module 1 will open February 17th. The two week duration for each module will start from this date.
•    Complete each of the module components in the order in which they are presented. Typically, this means reading the Welcome and then starting the Learn it!. You may be asked to leave the Learn it! in some modules to complete other activities, such as a Discuss it! or Share it!. Once you have completed these activities, return to the Learn it!.
•    Much of the learning in this course will come from interactions with your fellow learners. It is therefore important that you don’t leave completion of the activities to the last days of the module. Complete the learning activities early and use the rest of the time in the module to review others’ ideas and engage with them on the topic
•    The Learn its! involve individual learning. Take the time to complete the activities in a thoughtful way. You must attempt each question before being able to progress. The Learn it! is designed to teach though discovery. If you don’t know an answer, give it your best attempt. The intent of the Learn it! is to help you further your knowledge, not to evaluate what you do or do not know.
•    There is a Notebook you can access in each Learn it! Use this to document key learnings as you work through the material. You can print this out at the end as a reminder of what you have learned
•    The Discuss its! are intended to help you learn from each other. Discussion should be thoughtful, respectful, and promote group learning and the sharing of ideas
•    At the end of each module is a Toolkit containing all the resources included in that module
