Summary of lessons learned about feasibility

Definition: Feasibility was defined as completion of MOOC assignments

Main findings: 38% (37/92) of participants completed all requirements to receive the training certificate (Fig. 1). Largest attrition occurred at two points: (a) between enrollment and first quiz and (b) between quiz 4 and the final research proposal

Lessons learned and action items for future training:

1. Improve communication regarding course expectations

2. Increase time to submit assignments

3. Facilitate peer support by substituting single individual project for pair/group projects

4. Facilitate reliable access to internet

5. Provide video and transcript downloads to facilitate stakeholders off-line use of training materials
