Platform Structure: How to Navigate Our Course

As mentioned previously, our courseware is designed into Levels, Chapters, Topics, Assignments, and Assessments. Upon entering into the courseware through “My Courses,” course participants will find listed their Table of Contents labeled as “Course Content.” Here, you will be able to have a bird’s eye view of what content has been completed and what is still needing completion. Completed Chapters, Topics, Assignments, and Assessments will all have a check-mark next to the requirement. If the course component has not been completed, then there will still be an open radio button with no check-mark.  

In every course, all content is arranged into Levels. Each level serves as a content organizer for the following two to three chapters of topics. The second level, the chapter level, helps organize the topics around a content area, and then each chapter has a concluding assignment that provides practical, hands-on instruction for the previous topics. For secondary and higher education courses, these assignments will be submitted directly to the instructor. For continuing education courses, these assignments will be submitted through The Digital Engine courseware directly to the admin team for personal consultation, included as part of the course fee. At the end of each primary level, after all topical content and assignments have been completed for each chapter within that level are complete, then the course participant will take an assessment quiz. These assessments serve only as accountability check on content mastery. Until the participant scores a 90% or better on these assessments, the course participant will not be allowed to move on to the next content level. You must master the content in each level before moving on to the next building block of your instructional learning. In all, there is one introductory level and assessment, and then a total of seven content levels before you complete The Digital Engine courseware. 

NOTE: This courseware demo is NOT designed in a linear fashion requiring participants to complete every step of the demo in sequence. Additionally, this also means that demo sections are not marked as complete with a checkmark as they are in live courses. To provide more flexibility in the exploration of the demo content overview, created assets, and analytic platforms, we allow demo participants to move around freely. This will require demo participants to specifically have to click on the intro level assessment to see the deployment of these end-of-level assessments. However, for actual course participants, the courseware is designed linearly to require a step-by-step progression through the content. Here, course participants will only be able to move freely through content after it has been progressed through initially and marked as complete. Course participants in the live course can never move onto new levels until the end-of-level assessment has been passed at a 90% accuracy level.

Next, let’s learn a little more about the level assessments.
