Step 1: Pre-Assessment

Why? Determining a baseline level of knowledge is paramount for generating statistics about learner advancement and teaching effectiveness.

Step 2: Dynamic Course Creation

Why? Students are not required to re-learn concepts they have already grasped. In addition to saving time, this provides a more interesting and effictive learning experience.

Step 3: Interactive Curriculum

Why? For the most effective learning/teaching experience, multiple styles of learning and assessment must be available to facilitators. Futhermore, instant feedback is invaluable to learners throughout the learning process.

Step 4: Post-Assessment

Why? Allows instructors to quickly and easily see which learners are prepared for advancement and which learners still need more practice.

Step 5: Achievement

Why? Learners are automatically placed in the next course, based on achievement levels. This makes the process of continuing education effortless for instructors and quicker for learners.
