Overview of Sections in this Course:


As you go through the course, you will come across various sections that help you learn in the right way. Here is a quick overview of each section
  • Learning Objectives: At every Module and Lesson we have defined Learning Objectives to make it easy for you to go through the purpose of that Module/Lesson and help you stay focused.

  • Topics: Every Lesson is further organized into smaller topics. Topics are further organized into 4 sections focusing around one goal-based activity.

    1. Read section: The Read section covers all the related Worksoft SaaS feature articles in the most generic way so that you understand the purpose and applicability of that feature for your AUT. Hence articles linked under the Read section are not restricted to the Course content.

    2. Mapping Worksoft SaaS Feature to Course Context and Practice>: This section connects the generic Worksoft SaaS features explained in the 'Read' section to the Course content so that you can practice in the context of the Training AUT - Health Insurance Cost Calculator. You are expected to do follow through the Hands-on practice and submit them in the form of Assignment.

    3. Watch section: This section contains a demo video that you can refer to, in case you need help with practicing the activity or you want to check if the steps performed by you are correct.

    4. Explore more at your leisure: This section contains articles that are beyond the First-hand Experience Course material. If you are interested in developing a deeper understanding of Worksoft SaaS and have time to explore then we encourage you to go through this section.
