Personalized Learning

Each Personalized Learning assignment has four parts: a pre-assessment, a short video, an activity and a post-assessment. Scores for the pre-assessment and post-assessment are recorded in the Gradebook.

Pre-assessment

The Pre-assessment is a five-question quiz that must be completed before the video, activity, and post-assessment will be available to you. The Pre-assessment can only be completed once.

The Pre-assessment gauges your retention and understanding of the content and concepts within the chapter(s). You may only take the Pre-assessment once, and you must complete the Pre-assessment the first time you open it, so be sure you're ready to complete at least the Pre-assessment portion of each Personalized Learning Assignment before launching the link from your Learning Management System.

If your Pre-assessment results indicate a need for additional practice (red thumbs-down), or if your instructor requires students to complete all parts regardless of score, then you must watch the video and complete the activity before the post-assessment is unlocked.

To open the Pre-assessment, click Continue on the Overview page.

Video

The videos are animated mini lectures that explore key concepts to make the content more accessible and memorable. You can replay videos as many times as you need to understand the content. Click View Transcript (1) to see a full transcript of the audio narration of the video. You can also turned on Closed Captioning (2) to view closed captioning along with the audio narration.

Activity

The activity is designed to check your understanding or expand your knowledge through interactive, exploratory learning exercises, such as case studies and drag-and-drop activities. Activities are not graded.

For each question in the activity, if your first answer is incorrect, you can either View Feedback (1) to see the correct answer and rationale, or you can Try Again (2) to make a second attempt at answering the question. After the second attempt, you will see the correct answer and rationale.

Once you have completed the activity, you will see your score. You can either click Next (1) to proceed to the last part of the module (the post-assessment) or click Try Again (2) to complete the activity again.

Post-assessment

Each post-assessment has five questions. You may take the post-assessment more than once.

Please be sure to read the directions on the Overview screen for the post-assessment. The instructions will indicate how your instructor has chosen to set up the post-assessment, either with a maximum of three attempts to choose the correct answer, or unlimited attempts to choose the correct answer.

Your instructions will be specific for your class. An example is below.

Click Continue to begin the post-assessment.

Once you have completed the post-assessment, return to your LMS course to continue working on the next assignment. Note that you will be able to Review all completed work from your Personalized Learning Plan.
