About this course
About this course:
This course uses a fluency model. This model involves reading a series of related questions, first during acquisition modules, and then again during fluency modules (which have a shorter time criterion). The fluency model provides many opportunities for practice. Furthermore, each question is accompanied by a hint which should be used unless you are absolutely certain you know the answer. When hints are used properly, fluency-based courses can be errorless or near-errorless.
Keep in mind that fluency-based courses utilize modules, which contain learning exercises--not tests. Concepts are learned when discriminations occur across stimulus classes and generalization occurs within a stimulus class. This is achieved in our model by learners answering a number of carefully constructed questions designed specifically for this purpose.
