Quick Wins with Free “Upskill Challenges”
What’s an Upskill Challenge (UC)?
A UC is a bite-sized lesson from the JHT Team, our courseware developers as well as “friends” of JHT. They are meant to be short and to the point. UCs focus on a single tool or concept and are helpful in quickly providing useful skills that might be prerequisites for other types of educational content on the platform.
UCs are completely self-contained learning modules comprised of 5 – 10 sections covering the steps of learning the given tool or skill followed by a quiz to test comprehension. No outside research is required to pass the quiz. A UC is only 10 – 30 minutes of student time and has no VMs.

Future of Upskill Challenges
To accommodate more detailed topics that require virtual environments and don’t quite meet the definition of a course, JHT will eventually make available an Extended UX (or UCx). A UCx can be 30 – 120 minutes of student time, include VMs and videos, and an optional Capstone Challenge to test your knowledge of a multi-step process learned in the UC. A UCx can also be utilized as a live workshop. Details and a release date TBD.
