Several principals have made it mandatory for faculty to do one online course
per semester and linked increments to certificates
I just came to know that an online course that I wanted to join has concluded its run. Is
there any chance of this course being offered again?
Will exams be offered for completed courses in the next run?
If I enroll to a course this time and miss writing the exam, next time the course is offered,
do I have to enroll again?
If I dont submit any assignment, can I register for the exam?
How many exams can I give during a run?
What if I have limited internet access? How do I watch videos online?
