A course is a unit of content that includes everything a student needs to learn a specific skill.

A course section is an individual offering of that course. Each section has its own visibility date range, instructor, and student body.

Instructors teach individual course sections, but the content comes from the master course.

Offering course sections means we can have multiple instances of the course each semester.

2. Choose the green, "Add a Course" button.

5. Selecting a pre-defined course means using a specifically-curated Miller or Hobart course. Additionally, pre-defined courses allow your students to earn course credentials from Miller and Hobart.

1. From the home page, select the Gradebook tab.

3. From here, you can review the gradebook.

1. If the module score isn't recorded, your internet speed may be too slow. OpenBook requires two-way communication, which means that when the connection is slow or interrupted, the data won't be recorded.
2. If this happens, take a screenshot of the completed module score page and send it to your instructor so they can manually enter the score in the gradebook.
3. Also keep in mind that the preferred browser is Google Chrome. Other browsers produce unique issues that may be complicating or causing the errors. If you're not using Google Chrome, try switching to it first to see if it resolves the issue.
4. Check with your instructor to be sure the due date for your course has not expired. You will be able to complete modules but your score will not record, and the module will be marked as incomplete.

1. We do! Miller and Hobart are proud to offer course completion certificates.
2. When learners complete all assigned modules in a course, they will earn Certificates of Completion for courses you create. The certificates will carry your organization name, your course name, and your course description for the certificate.
3. Learners can complete specifically-curated Miller or Hobart course modules to earn a certificate of completion from Miller and Hobart directly.
4. Once a learner completes the entire pre-defined Miller or Hobart course, they'll earn a certificate of completion.
