Self-Enroll Learning & Development
Welcome to CTI self-enroll professional learning and development. Below you will find headings that correspond to what are known as milestone badges (ex. DesignPLUS). Milestone badges are awarded upon completing the required number of prerequisite badges (ex. Of a prerequisite badge DesignPLUS: An Introduction), and do not require anything other than earning the necessary prerequisite badges. For example, if you would like to earn the DesignPLUS milestone badge, you will need to complete at least two of the three DesignPLUS focused badging courses.
You will find these prerequisite badges in the accordions underneath the corresponding milestone categories. In the accordion you will find a brief description of the course and a link to self enroll in the badging course.
When you click the self enroll link, you will be taken to the Canvas course for the individual course you selected. The course will have materials and assessments for you to complete to earn that badge. Once you have completed all needed assessments at a satisfactory level, you will be awarded your badge.
If you have any questions please reach out to canvas@suu.edu.
