We've had over 1200 students in each of our previous course runs, with our course last year boasting a 19.83% completion rate (huge for a MOOC!) and 92% of students giving a 4 out of 5 for course quality. The 8-module course starts February 24 and ends April 19. It's completely self-paced, so you can work through it on your own time during those two months (82% of students spend 2 hours or less per week on the course). Whether new to assessment or looking for a topical refresh, the course is a great opportunity to gain free access to resources and engage with 1000+ colleagues. Registration opens January 13<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.canvas.net_browse_national-2Dlouis-2Duniversity_courses_apply-2Dand-2Dlead-2Dassessment&d=DwMFAw&c=mRWFL96tuqj9V0Jjj4h40ddo0XsmttALwKjAEOCyUjY&r=1X0JqzzRbChFPQAkzheDMrtQT4AUMsMOKo83NEhw-VI&m=nMk3035PoN8r48YNeCK9k4AsPTtAkZ9743Oml87v9WA&s=DrK6wvmB4VSahIJSP8Iumkfht5EvbFTFrN_6CEfZHoE&e=>.
