1 About this programme
Tackling antimicrobial resistance comprises 25 online courses. This course, AMR surveillance and you, is the first.
These online courses are delivered on the Fleming Fund’s OpenLearn Create site and include text, videos, diagrams, reflective activities, self-assessment questions and quizzes. Each course 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 course to complete the programme. The courses 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 course will help you to identify your learning goals and select a recommended study pathway.
In each course 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 programme relates to your work.
At the end of each of the other courses in this programme you will be awarded a digital badge and a statement of participation. 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 course. You can download them and share them on your social media profiles on Facebook, Twitter or LinkedIn.
To be eligible for the digital badge and statement of participation you must read each page of a course, complete the course satisfaction survey and score 50% or more in the end-of-course quiz. For each quiz, 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-course quiz, after 24 hours you can try again, and come back as many times as you like.
At the end of this programme you will be awarded a certificate of completion. To be eligible, you must complete each course in a particular recommended study pathway. You can find out more about these pathways in Activity 9.
