Hello everyone,
I am studying for the Azure 900 exam and decided to use the training course on Coursera. Through the course, students have the option to complete exercises through sandboxes. I am having an issue where I can't locate the sandboxes. For example, the link in the exercise page on Coursera takes to a random module page in Azure. There is no mention of a sandbox anywhere on the page. If I attempt to reach the Azure portal, I only receive error notifications that I am not part of any subscription. Below are some screenshots. Any idea what I may be missing? The FAQ page was of no help.

It is not a real sandbox, it uses the free account for which one has to enter a credit card number. It would be great to have real sandboxes again, i should not be forced to have a credit card.

It is most likely an account issue. Make sure you are logged in with the correct Microsoft account that has access to the sandbox. Try logging using an inPrivate Browser.
See how to activate sandbox here: How do I activate the sandbox?

I see that to begin a sandbox, you must first be in a module. How can I find these sandbox modules? The coursera link in my screenshot just takes me to the module pictured in my original post. My microsot account should be the same I use for Azure Portal.
Thank you,
Steven
I appear to be using the same Microsoft account in Azure portal that I use to access the modules, so I'm not sure if that is the account issue. As you mentioned in your response, it looks like I'm supposed to activate a sandbox. In my screenshots, I show that there is no option to click a sandbox anywhere despite Coursera telling me to complete the sandbox. Could it just be that maybe the sandbox has been taken down by Microsoft?
Thank you,
Steven
The Coursera project was degraded. A couple of modules later, I discovered that Azure simply updated the lab environment and moved it to a more fitting section of the learning material.
