When you are on a course page without being enrolled, you can only view the general information and the table of contents: a notice at the top of the page will propose you to log in to POK and, if you have already done so, to enrol in the course to see its full content.

Go to “self enrol into this course”.

Register for the course” and then to “Enrol me”. You will then be able to access the courses you have enrolled in directly from your dashboard.

Access to MOOCs on POK is free of charge.

From the course navigation bar go to "More" and then to "Unenrol me from this course" from the pop-up menu. You will no longer see the course in your dashboard and will no longer receive any communication about it.

Go to your initials in the top right-hand corner and from the user menu choose “Preferences” and then “Notification Preferences”. Here you can change your general preferences for receiving notifications within POK or by e-mail.

Please note that these preferences apply on a general level: in order to actually receive notifications from a specific content, they must be activated for that content. For example, in order to receive notification of a new post in a forum, you must "subscribe" to the forum or thread ("I don't get announcement notifications, how do I activate them?").

You can reach the course from the home page, the course search or your dashboard: to enter, click on the course title or image. Once in the course you can move between the page with the main information ("Overview"), the list of lessons and activities ("Course content"), information on the certificate of attendance ("Certificate"), information on how to use the content ("Fees and access") and an overview of the MOOC lecturers ("Faculty").

On the "Course content" page, you will find the table of contents, which usually includes a first section, with announcements by the lecturers and a free participation forum for students, and Week 0 with some information to orient you and the initial questionnaire. Within the individual module you can move between lessons by means of the navigation menu on the left.

Within the MOOCs, you will find two main types of activities: graded activities, which are those that you need to pass in order to complete the MOOC and obtain the certificate and which typically correspond to the quizzes at the end of each week, and non-graded activities aimed at reflection, self-assessment, peer sharing, and application of the knowledge learned during the course.
Both are crucial for achieving the expected learning outcomes.

On the quiz page you will find the "Attempt quiz" button and indications on the number of attempts allowed and the score required to pass the quiz. By pressing "Attempt quiz" and then "Start attempt", you will start the quiz: on the main screen you will have the sequence of questions, on the right a navigation menu that allows you to move through the questions. Each question shows the maximum score available and the number of attempts allowed.

Once you have finished, clicking "Finish attempt" will display a summary of your answer status. As you proceed you will see the quiz review, which shows the final grade (out of 100), the time taken and other information. In the main quiz page you will be able to review each attempt.

If you need to enter a mathematical formula or special symbols, please refer to the teachers' hints, in Week 0 or at the beginning of the exercise.

These activities you can find at the beginning of the “Course content”.

The Announcements is a space where only lecturers and MOOC staff can post messages for subscribers. Subscription to the Announcements board is compulsory for all subscribers, but you can choose not to receive notifications for this or other resources by changing your notifications settings ("How can I configure my notifications?").

In the General Forum, on the other hand, you and the other course participants can post questions, discuss issues and resolve any doubts by creating discussions.
