Planning for Internet/Wi-Fi Interruptions

You may wish to have several backup options in your home/office in the unlikely event you lose internet/Wi-Fi access or lose electrical power. Please be sure to charge your laptop computer, mobile devices, and power packs. For loss of internet/Wi-Fi, you may wish to use your cell phone hotspot or internet card.

Preparing to Participate

Be sure to set up in a quiet place in your home/office away from distractions, silence your cell phone, and have the learner guide and professional planner handy (available soon).

Learner Guide

The learner guide will be available under the Resources Tab. The guide will be linked in the Resources Tab which is included on each event landing page. The guide contains the agenda, PowerPoint presentations and handouts for all sessions. Bios for the facilitators are also included.

To avoid missing any content during the first event, please be sure to download these documents prior to the start of the first event. The facilitators will refer to this guide during all live event days. If you plan to print the guide, you may wish to print in grayscale instead of color.

Going Live

On the live event days, the "Join Live Web Event" link will appear 30 minutes before the event. You will be allowed in the live event at least 10 minutes before the event. You will enter the events on mute and remain on mute throughout the events. You should turn off your video.

Logging in Daily

You must log in for each live event to be eligible to take the post-test. Your attendance will be verified for each event before you are permitted to proceed to the next event and before gaining access to the post-test.

Maintaining Engagement

During the live event, the facilitators will be using various interactive tools — polling questions, reflection questions and the chat box to keep you engaged. You are encouraged to pose your questions in the Q&A and Polls section. The facilitators will address as many questions as time permits. To increase the priority status of an existing question in the Q&A and Polls section, please select the thumbs up.

Access to Next Live Events

At the end of each event, you will be re-directed to an evaluation. Please complete the evaluation each day before logging off, so you will be able to access the next event.

Access to the test will be provided after your participation in the four live events has been verified. An email will be sent by 3 p.m. (Central time) on Thursday, May 14, with instructions to access the test.

There are 64 multiple choice questions on the test.

The submission deadline for the test is 5 p.m. (Central time) on Tuesday, May 26. Access to the test will end at that time.

Yes. The test questions are primarily from the sessions presented during the live events; however, a few questions are included from the prework modules.

The post-test of the Certificate of Training in Obesity for Pediatrics and Adults is an assessment of knowledge and competence obtained or enhanced through an individual's participation in the course.

The prework modules, Learner Guide and session notes may be used to answer the multiple-choice questions on the post-test.

Individuals may form study groups to prepare for the post-test. However, the test itself must be completed individually.

The passing score for the test is 80% or higher. Your score will be displayed on the screen immediately upon submitting the test.

Unfortunately, the eLearning management system does not have a "save and continue later" option.

Note: There is no limit to the number of times you can go in and out of the test. Your visits will not be monitored. Your access will end once you complete the test.

The test is not timed. You can take as long as you wish to complete the test.

No. You only have one opportunity to take the test. Once the test is submitted, you will no longer have access to the test.

No, a key will not be provided. The same test is administered during future courses; therefore, an answer key or any feedback regarding the test or your score will not be available.

Yes. You will receive an email the week of May 26.

If you successfully pass the test, your certificate will appear under your profile area. You can access your profile area by clicking on your name in the upper right-hand corner and clicking on "Certificates."

Once you take the post-test, you will be able to download a document verifying the CPE credit.
