Course Content 101

Below are answers to some of the frequently asked questions we receive about how to engage with the various learning services offered by the XJTLU Learning Mall:

What do XJTLU Learning Mall non-degree programmes and courses include?

XJTLU Learning Mall courses come from a variety of qualified experts and professionals from with XJTLU, the XJTLU Learning Mall itself, as well as local, national and global partners. As courses originate from a variety of courses, there is no set list of what each includes. Courses may consist of everything from lectures, videos, presentations, texts, and readings as well as additional resources and practice activities to enhance the learning experience of students. It is highly recommended that learners explore each course description as well as partner virtual stores to see what might be of interest. If you are having any trouble, you can work with one of our Learning Design Consultants to create a specific learning pathway and portfolio for you.

How do I take an XJTLU Learning Mall or partner course?

XJTLU Learning Mall and partner courses are available both on-demand/self-paced as well as moderated with specific start dates. You will need to search for your course of interest and see when it is open for enrollment.

XJTLU Learning Mall bespoke courses are accessible from several different devices and platforms, including a desktop, laptop, and our mobile app. Partner courses are available through a variety of devices and can be accessed by channeling through their virtual storefront and signing up for the desired programme.

After you enroll in an XJTLU Learning Mall bespoke course or service, you can access it by clicking on the related link you will receive in your confirmation email (provided you're logged into your XJTLU Learning Mall account). You can also start your new course by logging in and navigating to your My Courses page. Partner courses provided by their platforms will each have different approaches for engagement.

Do I need to start my XJTLU Learning Mall course or service at a specific time? How long do I have to complete each course?

As noted above, there are no deadlines to begin or complete the course, and the start date of courses varies depending on who offers them, whether or not they are self-paced or moderated, and where they may be located (e.g., online, onsite, hybrid, etc.). Even after you complete a course, you will continue to have access to it, provided that your account is in good standing. Partner access rules may vary from platform to platform and should be reviewed on the partner's website.

Is the XJTLU Learning Mall an accredited institution? Do I receive anything after I complete a course?

While Xi'an Jiaotong-Liverpool University is an accredited institution, of which the XJTLU Learning Mall is a part, the XJTLU Learning Mall does not offer credentialed or degree programmes connected to the university. It only provides non-degree programme content. Our mission is to provide lifelong learning and skills-based courses taught by experts in their field, and every approved, paid course supplied by the XJTLU Learning Mall offers a certificate of completion to document your accomplishment. Partner courses will also provide their certificates of completion, and in the case of collaboration on a programme, may offer completion certificates from multiple providers. Additionally, the XJTLU Learning Mall plans to develop a Badge System to showcase ongoing learning within the community.

What if I want to preview a course? Is there any way to do that?

The ability to preview a programme depends on the course as well as the partner provider. Some courses have taster modules, which can be taken to give you a feel for the course and how it is set up. Others do not. Additionally, there are several self-paced courses available in the Freemium Section of the platform.

How can I pay for a course?

How to pay for a course depends on who is hosting it. For bespoke programmes as well as XJTLU school and department courses, the XJTLU Learning Mall supports several different payment methods, depending on your account country and location.

Payment for partner courses will take place through their platforms and will vary depending on partner and location.

What if I want a refund?

Because many of the courses are offered in different formats, provided by various partners, and once you access the courses, you will have access to the course materials, we do not provide refunds after purchasing a course. Individual partners may have different refund policies on their courses, and you can discuss directly with them on a case by case basis.

Where can I go if I need help with a course or a general issue?

If you have a general issue, you can first search through our FAQ section.
