Purpose and importance of this course

This course also provides tips and advice on how to ensure a smooth collaboration between the two parties during the project’s formulation and implementation.

How to use this eLearning Course

After completing each module you will have to pass the exam which follows after it. To go to the exam page, you will first need to close the module window and go back to the same course page. The access to the exam is from this page. You can access each module content and exam at any time. Each module screen contains several pages. The screen below explains the technical elements of each page (e.g. navigation system, interactive elements, etc) and serves as a “stop” in order for you to become accustomed to the learning environment.

Course Screen

The numbers on the top are the links to the different pages in the current module. You can always jump from page to page in order to get back to a topic you want to repeat or go directly to one, in which you are more interested at the certain moment. We still advice you to avoid skipping pages and follow the content in the given sequence.

The pages are normally split into two parts. The left is usually a static one and consists mainly of text. The right one contains the interactive elements. Unless specified explicitly, the elements that require interaction (clicking) by the learner are the 'blinking' ones and those containing question marks.

You can close and reopen the course as many times as you need. The system will remember the scores of each module exam you have already passed.

Certification

In order to acquire the certificate, you need to pass all module exams with at least 80% mark. However if you don't succeed in the first attempt, you'll be able to try again. Once you have gone through the course content, please send an email to info@ec-undp-electoralassistance.org in order to receive the final exam.
