Computer Based Learning is a terrific way to log some learning and development time on your own schedule and at your own pace! Some CBLs are mandatory and have an annual completion date of November 30th, but it's always a good idea to get them done as soon as possible. You may find there are CBLs that interest you that are not required. Those CBLs are voluntary and there’s no time limit for completion, so you can start it today and finish two months later.
