How to Use this Learning Platform?

 

Doctoral students and Postdoctoral Scholars of all disciplines have 24/7 access to an e-learning platform, Beyond the Professoriate. There are two main types of content provided (see menu tabs on the left for more details): 

  1. asynchronous, recorded content (in a curriculum fashion with videos you can watch at any time) on faculty and industry careers;
  2. scheduled, live webinars that target specific topics throughout the year (registration via the platform is required to attend or to receive the recording). 

How to Log In?

To access the platform, visit Beyond the Professoriate (this is the access link, please click) and you will be prompted to select your institution from the list. Choose "University of Maryland - College Park" and you will be redirected to your UMD Central Authentication Service (CAS) page to input your directory ID and passphrase.
