This video demonstrates one way to access the courses, but clicking the links below is the simplest way. TIP: You will need to be logged into Novell in order to access any of the PL videos, as they are posted to Vimeo which the filter allows only staff to access.

Courses do NOT have to be completed in one sitting. On the My Courses page you may be enrolled in courses that aren’t intended for your role. You do NOT have to complete all the course on your My Courses page. To complete a course, you must view each required activity. Sometimes you just need to read the information or download a file in the activity. Many courses are interactive video courses that track your progress by how long you view the video, quiz results during the video, and video completion acknowledgments near the end of videos.
