Course Features

Our well developed courses have the following features for making Online training easy to use and follow.

Flexible Timing:

• MindLeaders courses are ready when you are - 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
• Allows you to control the pace. Learn quickly or take your time.
• Allows you to focus on what you need. Skip what you know or don’t need, or take courses repeatedly. It’s your choice.
• Ability to take a course as many times as you like during your subscription period.

Delivery:

• No downloading of course files is required before, during, or after you take a course. This keeps your local hard drive free of unnecessary files.
• Small page size (average of only 16k) ensures fast response time through the Internet, intranets, and local area networks without negatively impacting production network performance.
• Provides ready access to key information, from a course glossary, to tips on using the courses, to technical support information. All of these are accessible using the Course Tools Tabs.
• Allows a student to navigate through a course, answer questions, and take the Skill Assessment using keyboard shortcuts.

Course Completion Certificates:

• Allow a learner to choose and print a certificate when he or she has mastered a course. Completion certificates now indicate the estimated number of hours it takes to complete the course.

Testing

Questions:

• Challenge you with a variety of question formats, including multi-step simulations, true/false, multiple choice, and fill-in-the-blank.
• Provide constructive feedback for both correct and incorrect responses.

Simulations:

• Flash-based, multiple-step, simulations show you how applications really work.
• Include hints and step-by-step instructions to assist you through the simulation.
• May be replayed multiple times for a better understanding of the illustrated concepts.
• Animated procedural simulations created with Flash provide an interactive, structured walk-through of a series of steps.

Exercises (“Try-Its”):

• Give you valuable hands-on experience.
• Can be facilitated with the user of supplied sample files .
• Allow new skills to be tested by completing an activity within the actual application

Skill Assessment:

• Generates a customized learning path based on the results of a pre-test of your skills before taking a course. The pre-test identifies individual strengths and weaknesses, allowing you to take only the units you haven’t mastered.
• Allows testing at any time and is available from within each course.
• Tracks your scores by unit. Initial, current, and best scores are tracked. Scores are available to view on screen or for administrators to print immediately.
• Provides a post-test. You'll know how well you've mastered the material once this test is completed.
• Allows any MindLeaders course to be taken and your best score to be compared with the MindLeaders Mastery Level Score.

Progress Report Link

• Allow all learners to view the course questions that remain unanswered. A new Progress Report link has been added to the Course Tools tab in the Course View for all platforms.

Supplied Sample Files:

• Include sample documents, application files, programs, and programming code.
• Can be copied into a document or compiler, enabling you to practice with these files and save time by using them in a document or program of your own.
• Allow code analysis and provide sample output, enhancing your learning experience.

New Mastery Page:

• Allow learners to determine easily if they have mastered a course or not. A new mastery page is replacing the last page of all courses (except the Getting Started course). Learners who have mastered a course will receive a page with congratulatory text. Learners who have not mastered a course will receive a page with “You’ve Reached the End of the Course” text.
