Welcome to the UCT Office of Research Integrity’s online Responsible Conduct of Research online learning store. On this page you’ll be able to view the learning offerings and purchase those which you would like to complete. These asynchronous online courses are available for anyone to purchase and may be completed flexibly at your own pace.
Our courses, called modules, are numbered 1 to 6 and we strongly recommend that you complete them in their numerical sequence, but this is not an absolute requirement. Each course is a standalone module, and you may complete any one without having to complete the others, and without being restricted to a particular completion order. There are no prerequisites for these modules.
