SkillBox offers courses in partnership with a range of organisations, our partners. Our partners create and facilitate courses, and we help with learning design as well as providing the platform for them. If an organisation no longer wishes to be a partner of FutureLearn, they can remove their courses from thejurist.co.in, as long as the course has finished.
This is very rare and we work hard to ensure it doesn’t happen. However, if a course has to be removed from SkillBox, we will inform all learners who have paid to have continued access to that course.
Will an educator reply to my comments and questions?
Will an educator reply to my comments and questions?
Most of our courses are facilitated by educators, but some are designed so you can work through them on your own. Our courses are often taken by many hundreds of students, spread across the globe. Because of the large number of learners on these courses and the limited time of the educators, educators can't reply to every comment or speak directly or privately with learners. Some educators will also be supported by teaching assistants and PhD & LLM students who will also interact with learners as part of the discussions, and help guide learners. These will be identified with a ‘mentor’ label next to their name.
