• The modules are hosted on WU’s platform, the ENGAGE.EU portal.

• The course has four modules. You can complete each at your own pace. However, we recommend completing one module per week in order to have enough time to work together with your group on the on COIL assignment.

• Every module finishes with a quiz:

  • You have one attempts for each quiz

  • The passing score is 60%.

• You receive points for each passed module and no points for each failed module. It is not required to pass every module to pass the whole course, but the number of points you achieve in the online part of the course is added to your overall grade.

• The mandatory readings for each module are either provided directly on the platform or linked. Papers on publishers' websites can be accessed using your universitiy's network (e.g., wifi or VPN) or if you log in to the university's online library catalog and search for the article.
