You can adjust this setting by selecting the checkbox next to this option and entering how many times students may attempt Certify unsuccessfully before the courseware will require that they attempt Practice mode.

Note: This option is only available to Course Administrators. If a locked curriculum is assigned to another instructor, that instructor will not be able to change the assigned curriculum.

 

Enhanced Practice (Beta): This feature allows you to adjust the presentation of questions that students receive in Practice based on historical student data and their own performance to tailor the learning path. Opting into this beta version will utilize this methodology for one-half of your students as part of our double-blind case study.

 

Allow Students to Attempt any Remaining Questions after Mastery: When students reach the mastery level for their lessons, they are brought to the Certify grading page informing them of their lesson mastery. If this option is selected, students have the ability to continue with their lesson regardless of mastery and complete the remaining questions for that lesson.

 

FlexMastery: This option will enable FlexMastery for students working in Certify. This feature provides students with the ability to attempt a question again that they initially got incorrect in Certify. Students are provided with another opportunity to answer the missed question generated with different values. Select the drop-down to allow students to attempt the question again with the same values. Also, if this option is selected, you have the ability to set how many additional attempts students will have on each question until a strike is given.

 

Allow Student Certify Reviews: Selecting this option will provide students with the ability to review their completed Certify sessions to see which questions they got correct, incorrect, or attempted again (if FlexMastery is enabled). You can also set the number of times a student is allowed to review their completed Certify.

 

Allow Pause and Resume Certify: Selecting this option will provide students with the ability to pause their Certify sessions. If this option is selected, you have the ability to set how many pauses are allowed on each lesson. By default, students receive 3 pauses for each Certify attempt.
