Instructor Updates

Self-study quizzes for students

December 9, 2015

We've added 20-item self-study quizzes for students in each of the modules below. These quiz items are coordinated with, though not the same as, the Noba test bank items available only to verified instructors. Students can find the quizzes directly after the main content of the online learning modules and can return to them as often as they like for review. Review sessions will emphasize items that individual learners have missed in previous sessions.

The quizzes make use of the Cerego learning platform. Cerego is an adaptive learning technology that uses distributed practice as the basis for memory retention. See more about Cerego by visiting their website and in the video below.

We expect to add many more student quizzes in 2016.
