Is the MOOC session taught live? Do I need to connect in at a specific time or can I participate when it is convenient for me?
The TDR MOOC on Implementation Research is not live-streamed. Participants do not need to log in at specific times of day to participate and watch the videos, which means that you can take a MOOC in a way that is convenient for you. However, we recommend that you keep up more or less with the weekly schedule.
Do I need to complete each week’s material before the following week begins?
Not always and it depends on what works for participants. However, we recommend that you complete each week’s material before going to the next.
