A Quantitative Analysis of Classes Exploring Factors That Make Participants More Like to Claim CE Credit

The Network of the National Library of Medicine (NNLM) offers a variety of classes to support professional development and continuing education of health information professionals. Most classes offer MLA CE credits, which provide proof of attendance, count toward AHIP, and may be used to earn MLA specializations, such as the Consumer Health Information Specialization (CHIS) or the Data Science Specialization (DSS). However, only a fraction of class registrants claim CE. Our objective is to determine which class factors most impact the percentage of registrants that claim MLA CE after the class: specialization type,class format (on-demand or scheduled), and class platform (webinar or Moodle).
