Welcome to the RDMLA Course Units!

The below 11 units can be taken individually or as a complete program, depending on your interests and needs. Before you begin, you will need to either create or sign-in to your Canvas Network account. New learners will need to review the "Course Orientation" before proceeding. After the orientation, we recommend starting with Unit 1, but the units may be taken in any order.

To navigate, simply click any of the unit blocks below or select "Modules" in the left navigation panel. The Module view offers you a high-level navigation of each unit and the sections within.

Every unit includes text and video-based content, along with activity exercises. Please plan to spend approximately 1.5 to 2 hours to complete each unit. At the end of each unit, you will receive a unit completion badge, which you can access through the "Badges" button in the left navigation panel. For continuing education credits, completion of the first 8 units is required.

Please note that some elements of our course may not be viewable on mobile browsers. For an optimized experience, we recommend using a desktop or laptop computer. For general questions that are not answered in the course materials or in Canvas Guides, please visit the Help Forum. For questions regarding badges and/or continuing education credits, please email rdmla.help@gmail.com.
