Lack of Depth and Misrepresentation
I found the sexual harassment training to be quite shallow and lacking in depth. A major concern was the unbalanced representation in the examples provided—nearly all depicted the harasser as a woman, except for one case. This does not reflect the reality of workplace harassment and, in fact, misrepresents the issue in a way that feels both inaccurate and offensive.
Awkward pronunciation!
The repeated American pronunciation of the word "harass" and its many variants was immensely distracting. Spoken British English has a received pronunciation that is similar to the RP for "Paris" a single syllable without emphasis. US pronunciation makes two syllables of the word and places emphasis at the the start of each HarAss. The use of transatlantic speech tropes in a British audio stream produces the same sort of dissonant tone as when – as a comparator – a speaker says "September eleventh" rather than "the eleventh of September". The effect of this dissonance is to distract from the important messages of the training.
Very useful

Concise, informative, well delivered
A course highlighting those affected both in and out of the workplace. Whether its directly or indirectly or should not be tolerated. 99% of the course is common sense but there were elements I took from it so thank you for that. Delivered in a concise & informative way that was easy to understand.
useless, time wasting and offensive
The presentation of the course content is almost entirely useless. The quiz at the end will not give any valuable information: Start by asking what is the expected pass rate if answers were selected at random and whether this pass rate aligns with the aims of the course. Then study how the pass rate/score improves from before the course to after the course in the target population, which at least partially is academics who have PhDs. The fact that the videos are not skippable and no text-based alternative is given is offensive to the trainee. We academics (should) know how to learn new information best for us as an individual – give us the choice to do so. In my opinion it is likely that the videos are not skippable because the course authors know that almost everyone would go straight to the test and pass it. If that is the case, then this already shows that the course is not designed to meet its apparent aims. The fact that there is no opportunity to question and discuss the statements made in the course is offensive to academics (some of) whose job it is to critically evaluate exactly the kind claims made.
Thank you, this course was very informative.

Clear, easy and well-paced course
Split into three sections, each one very clear with video clips followed by summary overview for every part, finishing with a section question. Final part a 10 question review of learning. Very straightforward with links throughout to further learning if required. Excellent short training
