MFL is an asynchronous and self-paced program that can take up to 16 hours to complete. You can complete this program on your own schedule and time (i.e. do it over a weekend, a week, or a month). You decide what suits you and your availability. All content and program activities are located in modules. The core curriculum is comprised of four modules. In each module, you begin with an overview, dive into several parts, then end with Dr. Meyer’s closing thoughts. Modules and parts will be locked until you complete the prior part. MFL is delivered on Aspen Courses.
Once inside the program, you a watch animated and instructional videos, participate in interactive games, and complete writing tasks and quizzes. Items are not graded, but scores and feedback are provided so you can get a sense of what is working and what needs improvement. There is a timed and graded final exam. Passing it will earn you a certificate.
