Cochrane Interactive Learning is an online learning platform consisting of 11 modules to help you improve your knowledge and skills in conducting systematic literature reviews.
The platform provides over 15 hours of self-directed learning on how to conduct a complete systematic review process. It is beneficial for researchers or postgraduate students as it can be used as a stand-alone tool to provide learning that leads to a certificate for your CPD/learning profile or to complement timetabled learning undertaken at university. Additionally, there are useful sections which may be of use to undergraduate researchers looking to improve their research/searching skills.
Modules cover the full process of conducting a systematic review and feature sections on searching for studies, analysing the data, writing the review protocol, health economics and health equity in systematic reviews amongst others.
When you complete a module (looked at all the content and passed the assessment) you will be able to download a certificate in PDF format. If you complete the entire course, you will be able to download a course certificate.
