Coursework vs Learning Activities

During a placement, your program will request that you complete certain activities such as: 

• Forms or Evaluations
• Patient Logs 
• Timesheets
• Time Off Requests

Within Prism, you have 2 ways to access this information – via the Coursework page and the Learning Activities section. 

Both pathways will allow you to complete these activities, but they look a bit different. Let’s take a look!
