RIO Challenge
RIO Challenge is a series of practical exercises that will help a user understand the features, functionality, and implementation best practice for the RIO Education SIS.
Challenge type
In conjunction with our RIO Education Certification path, RIO Challenge can be categorized into three types: Functional, Technical, and Advanced.
The Challenge type is noted in brackets at the front of the Challenge title.
Note: Although the purpose of Functional and Technical Challenges are different, together they represent 'the basics' and should be considered mandatory for anyone seeking a foundational understanding of RIO Education - this includes anyone wanting to acquire RIO Education Certification.
