About this training
A one-session orientation: find your way around, complete a short course, earn a certificate and a badge, and see how your learning record grows over time.
This short course introduces the Lifelong Learning LMS through a guided learner journey: three short modules, a ten-question post-test, and a verifiable certificate and digital badge. It is also used in research Activity 1 with graduating BSIT students.

- Navigate the dashboard, catalog, My Learning and your cohort workspace
- Use progress tracking, notes, bookmarks, the forum and search
- Describe five lifelong-learning features and judge which matter to you
- Earn, download and verify a certificate and a digital badge
- Explain how your personal data is used and protected, and how to exercise your rights

Is participation required?
Today's orientation is a class activity, but taking part in the research study is voluntary. You choose at sign-in whether your usage data and questionnaire answers may be used for research. You can do every task today — lessons, post-test, certificate and badge — whatever you decide.
Will this affect my grades?
No. Your consent choice, your survey answers and your post-test score in this orientation have no effect on your grades or class standing.
How do I withdraw from the study?
Go to Profile → Data & API → Research participation and choose to withdraw. Data collected after you withdraw is not used. Data that was already included in an anonymised analysis cannot be taken out of it, because it no longer identifies you.
How is my data used?
The platform keeps your account, learning records and certificates to run your courses. If you agree to the study, the researchers also analyse your usage (sign-ins, time spent, features used, how long each task took), your questionnaire answers and your learner profile — always under a coded ID, never your name, and reported only for groups. See the Data Privacy Notice in the footer and the lesson Your data and your rights.
I forgot my password.
On the sign-in page choose Forgot your password? and enter your school email; you will receive a reset link. During the session, raise your hand and a facilitator will help you.
Can I use my phone?
Yes. The LMS works in your phone's web browser, and you can check in by scanning the QR code on the screen. The laboratory computers are there if you prefer a bigger screen.
How do I verify my certificate?
Open My certificates (from your account menu) and choose Verify, or scan the QR code printed on the certificate PDF. The verification page is public, so an employer can open it too.
Who do I contact?
During the session, ask any facilitator. Afterwards, contact the project team through the Contact page (link at the top of every page), or the SSU Center for Lifelong Learning.
Join the cohort to discuss
Discussion threads are reserved for enrolled learners and instructors so conversations stay focused, safe, and on-topic.
