General questions
Yes! If you already have a TheologyX account using your email address you can use the same account details on MCBX.
You can also use your MCBX account to log into TheologyX.
If you made a typo when creating your account, the system cannot send an email to an email address that does not exist. Try creating another account with the email address you used before, if it says ‘this email address is already associated to an account’ then email will arrive soon.
Emails can take up to an hour to process, but most often arrive within a few minutes.
If you haven’t created an account on MCBX it may be that you have used your email address to create an account on one of the sister-sites which include TheologyX and CliffX. Try using the password you’ve used on the other site for that email address and it will allow you to log in.
Why is this?
MCBX is a subdomain of TheologyX and part of the wider international database of TheologyX. This means that while there is one database your account only exists on the sites you’ve logged into. It means that your account can give you access to other sites, but it won’t automatically until you’ve logged in.
If you had originally created an account on TheologyX or CliffX you can use the same account details to log into MCBX.
Your account isn’t yet recognised by MCBX. To reset your password you will need to request a password reset via the prompt on TheologyX or CliffX depending where you first created your account.
Why is this?
MCBX is part of the wider international database of TheologyX.
If you had originally created an account on TheologyX or CliffX you can use the same account details to log into MCBX.
If you are trying to reset your password to enable you to log in to MCBX for the first time because you have forgotten your password, MCBX can’t recognise your account fully until you have logged in to the site, but won’t let you create a new account using your email address as it is already in the system.
Your dashboard will say ‘you are not enrolled in any courses’ in a few situations which includes
- When you have created an account but not signed up for or enrolled in any courses.
- When you have created your account, but the admin team for the course you are due to take hasn’t enrolled you yet, please be patient. Some course enrolment happens shortly before the course start date, other course teams undertake the course admin weekly, while other courses are auto-enrolment and you can sign yourself up and gain immediate access.
- If you have created an account using an email address that doesn’t match the email address the course team have enrolled you with. Check with the course organiser(s) for which email address you need to create an account with.
- If the course you were enrolled in has finished it is archived and will display under ‘Past courses’ rather than ‘My courses’ on your dashboard. Switch tabs and you may find the course you had previously taken. This ‘Past courses’ tab on your dashboard only appears once a course you’re enrolled in has passed its end date.
- If you are on the wrong TheologyX site. We have multiple sites for TheologyX as some partners have their own version and you may have ended up on the wrong site. Try CliffX for Cliff College’s site or TheologyX for the international site.
Course related questions
The course is built with pre-requisites meaning you will get a ‘content locked’ message until you have successfully answered all the questions in that section.
You can look on your ‘progress tab’ and the practice scores will roughly show you were you have unanswered questions. Navigate back through the unit to the relevant page and complete the question you’d not answered.
Once you have answered all the questions successfully the next section/unit will become accessible to you.
Take care to scroll down all the pages, some pages have multiple questions. There is a note to clarify so please read all the material and you won’t have an issue.
The progress dial is different to your graded score.
The progress dial will recognise where you engaged fully and viewed the pages, often needing to scroll down the the ‘previous’ and ‘next’ buttons for navigation rather than just the ones at the top of the page to recognise you’re involvement with the page. It isn’t yet perfect technology but it does give you an approximate gage of where you’re up to in the course.
The score that matters is your grade for the completion at the end. This score is found on your ‘progress’ tab.
Certificates
If the course you’ve taken has a certificate of completion included (not all courses do), there are three locations to find a certificate
- On your ‘dashboard’ under the course listing.
- On your ‘profile’ page under certificates.
- On the course’s ‘progress’ page.
If you have immediately just finished the course and cannot locate your certificate, MCBX may just need some time to generate your certificate.
On your ‘progress’ page within the course you can click ‘request certificate’ to prompt the system, wait 10 minutes and it should generate for you.
Not all courses have certificates of completion associated with them, if this is the case then no certificate will be created.
