Q&A about new brain fitness eCourse

By:

We have received sev­eral good ques­tions about the new eCourse How to Be Your Own Brain Fit­ness Coach, so here are some answers.

Q: How many hours may it take me to com­plete the course?

A: Around 10–12 hours total. The four lec­tures, com­bined, last 8 hours, and we rec­om­mend at least 2–4 hours to go through read­ings, activ­i­ties, discussions…

Q: Can I down­load the lec­tures?
A: No, they can only be streamed/ watched online.

Q: How can I learn more after watch­ing the lec­tures?
There are mul­ti­ple resources avail­able via the eCourse plat­form (see image above). You can click on the Activ­i­ties tab in the nav­i­ga­tion bar and find activ­i­ties to per­form after watch­ing each ses­sion. You can also read the addi­tional resources avail­able in the Lec­tures & Mate­ri­als tab, and dis­cuss your impres­sions and open ques­tions with other course par­tic­i­pants at the Dis­cus­sion Forum.

Q: Will I be able to inter­act with the Fac­ulty?
This is a self-paced course, but every month we will host an online Q&A ses­sion for stu­dents to ask ques­tions to the Course Fac­ulty. We have Q&A ses­sions already sched­uled on Octo­ber 30th and Novem­ber 27th.

Q: How do I know who else is tak­ing or has taken the course and how do I inter­act with them?
You can “meet” other par­tic­i­pants and inter­act with them via the Par­tic­i­pants and Dis­cus­sion tabs.

Q: Do I need a Pay­Pal account to pay for the course?
A: No. You can pay with your credit or debit card (VISA, Mas­ter­Card, Amer­i­can Express, Dis­cover), or you can log in to your Pay­Pal account if you already have one.
