The online training course requires the user to use the BH Hazard Viewer as a case study to orient themselves around InVEST, with questions to answer at the end. However, the viewer is not interactive and consists only of a picture image of the region along, with options to toggle on and off a range of features - which do not work.
BH Hazard Viewer
Can someone provide the correct URL for the user to be able to explore the features and answer questions. My MOOC deadline for achieving this is 3rd June 2025.
Hi @Khiseman , thanks for letting us know. We will try to fix it but key people may not be online until next week. Apologies for the inconvenience.

Hello @Khiseman -
As you may be noticing, our MOOC was made long enough ago that several things about the modeling sections no longer work or correspond properly. (For example, we did not have Workbench when the MOOC was made, SDR has some additional inputs and outputs now that are not talked about in the MOOC, etc). Sorry it’s frustrating, it might be time for us to retire at least those sections of the MOOC.
Specifically regarding the Bahamas Viewer exercise, it is not necessary to do that exercise to pass the MOOC. The questions that are asked in that exercise are for your own experience, they are not included in the actual quiz that counts for the course. The actual quiz asks about general Coastal Vulnerability topics that do not require use of the Bahamas Viewer. So you should feel ok about skipping the Viewer exercise, your edX grading won’t be penalized.
