Methods of Education to Achieve the Objectives
Every video has specific objectives to be achieved
Initially , participant will have pre-test as a part of assessment steps
Participant will watch videos accompanied by images, pdf files , figures or diagrams. At the end , participant must pass post-test to get certification of completion. Participant must follow the learning path in the platform
Evaluation of Scientific Activity by the Participants
By evaluation form after completing course , it will be send to participants. It is an important to know that it will be mandatory to get certification
