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
