learning

This course is designed for people who are interested in joining the Epilepsy Action Research Network (EARN) as a research volunteer. It aims to give you knowledge about the research process and an understanding of your role in it.

The course usually takes around 2-3 hours to complete. You can work through it at your own pace. There are four modules, which you should take in order.

You have already told us that you:

• Have an interest in learning more about epilepsy research
• Are comfortable with the written word and communicating by email
• Have a personal connection to epilepsy (self/family member/carer of person with epilepsy)
• Live in the UK
• Have access to the internet and email

You do not need to have existing knowledge of research – we hope that this course will introduce you to everything you need to know to about this role.

What you need
You will need a pen and paper. You will also need sound on your device, as there are several videos to watch.

When you have finished
At the end of the course, you will be asked to answer some questions, to check what you have learned. Your answers will be assessed by us here at Epilepsy Action.
