1 About this course
Tackling antimicrobial resistance comprises 25 online modules. This module, AMR surveillance and you, is the first.
These online modules are delivered on the Fleming Fund’s OpenLearn Create site and include text, videos, diagrams, reflective activities, self-assessment questions and quizzes. Each module should take up to 6 hours to complete, but you can work through them at your own pace.
You do not need to study every module to complete the course. The modules that you chose to study, and the order that you chose to study them in, will depend on your role, the activities that you undertake and your personal learning goals. Activities 8 and 9 of this module will help you to identify your learning goals and select a recommended study pathway.
In each module there are numerous opportunities to check your learning, including interactive quizzes and activities to reflect on your learning. You will also have opportunities to reflect on how your learning on this course relates to your work.
At the end of each of the other modules in this course you will be awarded a digital badge. Digital badges are like a certificate: they demonstrate that you have gained a skill (Figure 1), or are evidence of your work and achievement on the module. You can download them and share them on your social media profiles on Facebook, Twitter or LinkedIn.
To be eligible for the digital badge you must read each page of a module and score 50% or more in the end-of-module quiz. For each quiz, you can have three attempts at the questions. If you get the answer right first time, you will get more marks than for a correct answer at the second or third attempt – so please be aware that it is possible to answer all the questions correctly but not achieve the 50% score to be eligible for a badge. If one of your answers is incorrect, you will receive helpful feedback and suggestions about how to work out the correct answer. When you have successfully achieved the completion criteria, you will receive an email notification that your badge has been awarded. Please note it can take up to 24 hours for a badge to be issued.
If you’re not successful in achieving 50% in the end-of-module quiz, after 24 hours you can try again, and come back as many times as you like.
At the end of this course you will be awarded a statement of participation. To be eligible, you must complete each module in a particular recommended study pathway. You can find out more about these pathways in Activity 9.
