   Multi-Course Dashboard:

V. Completing Courses

Course components must be completed in sequential order, and each component unlocks only after the previous one is completed. Use the Course Review questions to guide your learning throughout the course.

Participants must watch each video in its entirety before the next component unlocks. Viewing time is tracked and saved while the video is actively playing. To ensure accurate tracking, avoid skipping ahead, fast-forwarding through unviewed sections, or navigating away from the video window.

If you need to pause, simply exit the window after pausing. Your progress and viewing time will be saved, and the video will resume from where you left off when you return.

After watching the video in full, participants must complete the assessment and survey to receive a statement of credit for CEUs. For more details, visit the FAQ page.

VI. Previously Completed Courses
All of your statements of credit from 2018-2023 were imported over to EducATe so that you would have access to them in our new system for BOC audit purposes. Any of these courses that are still active in the system will still be available for you to review (just as you could in the PDC) on your My Dashboard page. While you are allowed to review all of course components, you cannot receive CEUs for the same course twice. These items are only available to you for review purposes. 

To view these courses, go to the My Dashboard page and change the Status Filter to “Completed.” You will see the imported courses from the PDC marked as "Completed – You didn’t pass the test."

The certificate within the course will be marked Complete with green checkmark and show “Credits granted by Admin; bypassing requirements."
