Firearm Purchaser Licensing Teach-Out: The Background Check Policy Not Enough People Are Talking About

• Wann erhalte ich Zugang zu den Vorträgen und Aufgaben?

  Der Zugang zu Vorlesungen und Aufgaben hängt von der Art Ihrer Anmeldung ab. Wenn Sie einen Kurs im Gastmodus belegen, können Sie die meisten Kursmaterialien kostenlos einsehen. Um auf benotete Aufgaben zuzugreifen und ein Zertifikat zu erhalten, müssen Sie während oder nach Ihrer Gastphase das Zertifikat erwerben. Wenn Sie die Gastoption nicht sehen:

  • Der Kurs bietet möglicherweise keine Gastoption an. Sie können stattdessen eine kostenlose Testversion ausprobieren oder finanzielle Unterstützung beantragen.
  • Der Kurs kann stattdessen "Vollständiger Kurs ohne Zertifikat" anbieten. Mit dieser Option können Sie alle Kursmaterialien einsehen, die erforderlichen Aufgaben einreichen und eine Endnote erhalten. Dies bedeutet auch, dass Sie kein Zertifikat erwerben können.

• What is a Teach-Out?

  Teach-Outs are short learning experiences, each focused on a specific current issue. Attendees will come together over a few days to learn about a subject or event and gain skills. Teach-Outs are open to the world and are designed to bring together individuals with wide-ranging perspectives in respectful and deep conversation. These events provide opportunities for diverse learners and a multitude of experts to come together to ask questions of one another and explore new solutions to the pressing concerns of our global community.

• I see there are quizzes -- do I have to pass a quiz to complete a Teach-Out?

  We're offering these Teach-Outs on a platform designed for learning, so sometimes we take advantage of the platform tools. Quizzes are one way of helping everyone "get on the same page" about the topic, and be better able to discuss and ask questions. You can take the quizzes as many times as you want in order to pass, or you can move past them if you aren't interested in testing your knowledge.

• Does a Teach-Out have a fee?

  Teach-Outs are free learning experiences!

• Can I get a completion certificate?

  No, this isn't a course, therefore we don't offer a Course Certificate.

• Does this course contain anything disturbing?

  The subject matter of this course covers situations and events that are potentially disturbing to some learners. For example, suicide, domestic and intimate partner violence, violent crimes, and mass shootings are discussed throughout this course and may trigger personally traumatic experiences.

• I am or someone close to me is a survivor of gun violence. Is this course a place to seek and receive help?

  No, this course is an opportunity to learn about the evidence and research behind the complex public health crisis of gun violence in America.

If you or a loved one need help, we suggest that you contact your local mental health provider, or state associations for psychologists, psychiatrists, or social workers. They can often provide you with a list of resources, some at no cost, for receiving the help you need.
