Free Online Micro-Course The MLC 101: Introduction to The MLC

We have launched an online micro-course that is available to current college students. The course can be completed within about 2.5 hours if you also decide to take the practice quizzes at the end of each section. Once you complete the course (video lessons and readings) you are given a personalized PDF Certificate of Completion that you can download and keep, and provide to an instructor if you are asked to complete this micro-course as part of a college course assignment. If you decide to take the optional test at the end (which adds approximately another 30 minutes to the course), and pass the test with an 80% or higher, you are also awarded a digital badge. You must use your .edu email address to access the course, and once you are given access, you must complete it within 2 weeks or your account will be deactivated, and you will need to request enrollment again using the same form.
