To do
LIA courses are divided into sections. These contain various activities that you should aim to complete within the course, each one built from a sequence of straightforward steps
Videos, audio and articles
You can learn by watching videos, listening to audio and reading articles. Many of these steps are followed by short quizzes to help you check that you have understood.
Comments
Every article, video or piece of audio has a space to allow learners to comment and ask questions. This appears below the step content.
Mark as complete
There is a button at the end of each step that allows you to mark it as complete. By the end of the course you will be able to generate your course certification.
Discussion
Every so often, you’ll come across a discussion step, where you’ll be given a topic to talk over with fellow learners. Talking about ideas is a really great way to learn and consolidate information, so give it a go, even if you find it daunting!
Activity
Want to find out what everyone is talking about right now? Go to the course activity page to see what questions you can help answer and which topics are under debate.
Replies
Once you start commenting, you’ll probably get replies from other learners. You’ll see these on the replies page. You’ll also get email notifications, so that you never miss a reply.
Follow
Spotted somebody that is making interesting points and asking great questions? Press the ‘Follow’ button on their profile page and you can filter the discussions to include the people you’re most interested in.
Quizzes
Many activities will include a quiz, a moment to pause and check how well you’ve understood the key points from the previous video or article before moving on.
Tests
You will be able to take tests. Tests work in much the same way as quizzes but tests are scored and are limited to three tries. These count towards your overall mark and are designed to test your knowledge.
Completing the course
When you’ve finished your course, you’ll receive a digital certificate to help you demonstrate your learning.
Choose the next course
Learning is contagious: we believe you'll find the LIA experience so enjoyable that you'll be eager to enroll in another course before completing the first one!
