Training
The PacMOSSI course comprises 8 fully online, self-paced learning modules. The training course will be tailored to suit the job role and training needs of each participant. Enrolment is free and available to everyone.
Each training module will take about 3 – 5 hours for students to complete and include case studies, readings, quizzes, audio, videos and animations to help students achieve the learning outcomes.
The modules will be published online in the Moodle learning management system (LMS) administered by the PacMOSSI management committee. Once enrolled, students will have ongoing access to the course so they can continue to participate in forums and refer to materials as needed.
