Once a course has passed our rigorous screening process, it moves on to the next step: evaluation.
Our goal is to provide the relevant information staff need to determine what coursework they could assign to their learner groups, what courses they could consider for merit-based credit, and what courses would benefit their learners most. Evaluation includes checks for:
Key Area of Focus
Which of the following categories does the content fall into: Academics, Vocational, Life Skills, Incarcerated Life, Reentry, Health, Recovery, Arts and Culture, Religion and Spirituality
Estimated Time to Complete
How long does it take a Learner who is meaningfully engaging with the content to complete the course?
Determined by combining video minutes with the estimated reading time and estimated time to complete engagement questions.
