| Learning Accelerators Learning accelerators are useful ways for you to learn and remember the course instruction. Dynamic quizzing - sets of questions are created and presented to test and build your recall of instruction points. Skill metrics - a level skill is calculated following all quizzes, and shows your subject mastery for each course level. Peeks - a peek button is shown as part of each quiz question, which reveals the actual instructional material where the answer is found. This is a VERY fast and effective way to build subject recall. Progress tracking - each instructional point is marked as ‘viewed’ after reading. This allows you to easily keep track of your learning progress. | ||
