Manage my eLearning

The CoSy course management platform hosts many eLearning courses from training providers across the University. eLearning courses are booked and taken within the Cosy platform.

eLearning courses are available 24/7.  To take an eLearning course login to CoSy with your Oxford Single Sign-on (SSO) and then book the course by adding it to your shopping basket and checking out. Once you have booked the course, it will show in the ‘My eLearning’ tile on your dashboard.  A ‘Play’ button will appear next to the course title.  Click ‘Play’ to start the course.  When you have finished, make sure you exit the course.  If there is a quiz, your score will be recorded in CoSy.

When you book an eLearning course, you do not need to take it on the same day; it will be available in your ‘My Elearning’ tile, ready to take when you are ready. If you return to take the course on a different day, you do not need to book the course again - go to your ‘My eLearning tile’ and start the course.

If you are having problems booking or taking your eLearning course, please look at our FAQ.

Most training providers issue an email confirming that you have completed your course and may also issue a certificate.  The certificate is a PDF which is usually a link in the completion email.

If you are a member of another institution and have a virtual card, this should allow you to login with an Oxford Single Sign-on and will enable you to take the course; however, your email address is not recorded in CoSy, so you will not receive the booking or completion emails.  Your email will need to be added manually to the system.

6) Click the “Edit” button and add your email address.  Click “Save”. Doing this will ensure that communications about the course are emailed to you.

There is currently an error when retaking the Research Integrity: Refresher Course for Experienced Researchers eLearning course that requires each module to be manually booked by the Training Management team.  Please email cosy-support@it.ox.ac.uk, including your SSO in the email, and we will book you onto each module.  You will then receive the usual Booking Confirmation email and be able to go to your CoSy Portal to start the course. NB this is only the case if you have previously completed the Refresher course in CoSy, if you completed it in a different system you will be able to book and play the course.
