I just received the following clarification from a representative of the Saylor Foundation in response to our previous post about her organization. We thank Cami Roden for taking the time to explain Saylor’s methods for documenting and certifying the completion of a course.
Hi there,
Thank you so much for including the Saylor Foundation in your blog post! I’m the Community and External Affairs for the Saylor Foundation, and just wanted to quickly clarify your point about ways our students can demonstrate that they took the course. If you click through any of our completed courses, you’ll see that each course starts with a set of learning objectives, which are further broken down across each of the course units. At the end of each course, there is a final exam that tests the student’s knowledge and comprehension of each of the course objectives. Upon passing the final exam, students can download and print a certificate of completion – and those students who are using our ePortfolio system also can show proof of completion via their transcript. I hope this clears up any points of confusion! If you have any questions about Saylor.org, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
My best,
Camie
