What is the learning method? Do I need to watch the module all in one time?
Nope absolutely not. It is presented in bite size segments ranging from 5 minutes to 20 minutes.

It is also intended that people pause, practice the exercises, reflect on them, discuss, and so forth. People may want to revisit and repeat them as well. This is also done in smaller sections to optimise people’s engagement, concentration, and attention; and to encourage people to move around, take brain breaks, practice the regulating activities etc.
