Back to: LGBT Persons & Substance Use Disorders: Special Considerations for Treatment Providers

Welcome to the LGBT Persons & Substance Use Disorders: Special Considerations for Treatment Providers Course from our partners at NBHAP. Here’s what you need to do:

1. Enroll in the Course:

If you haven’t signed up for the course yet, go to the course page (click the “Back to Course” button below). This will let you join the course.

2. Complete Each Lesson:

Make sure you complete every lesson. After watching/reading the lesson content and taking the quiz, scroll down to the bottom of the page and click the “Mark Complete” button. This action indicates that you’ve finished that lesson.

3. Course Structure:

This course has two lessons (this is lesson one, lesson two is a video), one quiz, and a required evaluation. The video lesson lasts about one hour. There is a quiz after the video. The “Take Quiz” button will be inactive until you reach the conclusion of the video. Keep in mind that you won’t be able to fast-forward or rewind videos. Additionally, please note that leaving the webpage or minimizing the window will cause the video to stop playing. Although the system is designed to save your progress in the video, it’s important to note that the reliability of this functionality can vary due to differences in individual computer setups and/or internet quality.

4. Evaluation Section:

After successfully completing the lessons and quiz, you’ll find an evaluation form. Fill out the form and click “Submit.” Once you’ve done that, click “Mark Complete” to move on to the final quiz section.

5. Taking Quizzes:

Quizzes have a time limit, so keep an eye on the time. The questions on the quizzes will be different each time you take them. If you don’t pass the quiz on your first attempt, don’t worry. You can restart the video and have two more chances, for a total of three attempts, to pass the quiz. You will fail the course if you do not pass the quiz after three attempts. You cannot retake failed courses. Remember, you must score at least 75% on each quiz to pass the course.

Completing all parts of the course and passing the quiz will earn you a completion certificate. This will be found in your dashboard. If you have any questions, feel free to ask!

6. Use of Technology

Our course content, particularly video materials, is optimized for smooth playback when accessed through a reliable internet connection. While WiFi is commonly used, it can sometimes be prone to fluctuations and interruptions, potentially affecting the quality of your learning sessions.

To enhance your experience and minimize the risk of disruptions, we strongly recommend connecting to the internet via a hard-wired system (Ethernet cable). This will provide a more stable and consistent connection, reducing the likelihood of buffering or video playback issues.

It’s important to note that while we strive to provide an optimal learning environment, we are not responsible for individual computer problems. We recommend ensuring that your device is in good working condition and meets the technical requirements for accessing our course materials.
