Step 3: Practice & Revision

As you are working in your Learning Path you may need to spend additional time in specific areas to improve. You can do this by practicing and revising. Review this document. Click intellipath for intellipath Suggestions to help guide you on how to Practice and Revise to increase your Knowledge State.

How do I make the most out of the intellipath Experience?

Understand the terms of the system by reviewing the definitions below and reviewing this document. Click intellipath for Student Tips about the intellipath assignment.

Determine Knowledge: Your self-assessment to find out what you know and what you need to work on for this phase. Determine Knowledge is very important as it tells the Adaptive Learning system what you know and what you do not know. It sets the baseline for your learning in each phase and it creates your learning map from the results of your Determine Knowledge. The more you let the system know, the more accurate your Learning Map and your phase work.

Learning nodes or Lessons: Lessons improve Knowledge State on each of the learning nodes assigned for each phase. The lessons are connected throughout the entire course map. Work on one lesson influences learning on other lessons in the course map. Learning is a continuum throughout the course, assessment is constant, and by revising lessons, you can continually improve their learning.

Knowledge State: A moment in time that describes a learner's knowledge on a Determine Knowledge, learning node or lesson. Knowledge State is real time information and changes as you work in the system. Improving your Knowledge State for each phase should be your goal.

Knowledge Covered: The amount of Knowledge covered based on the learning nodes or lessons assigned to you for each phase. Completing all of your learning nodes or lessons should be your goal for each phase.

Practice: Implemented in three different ways. First, Practice can be assigned by your instructor, second, Practice can be assigned by the system, and third, Practice can be a student choice. Choose Practice once you have completed the learning node or lesson and when you have a good understanding of the material, but still have room for improvement. Two types--directed and undirected:

•     Directed Practice: Choose a specific learning node, and then choose Practice, questions for Practice will show Goal and improvement on that specific learning node or lesson

•     Undirected Practice: Choose the Practice icon; your practice questions will be on all learning nodes for that phase

Revision: Choose Revise once you have completed the learning node or lesson and when you feel like you need to learn more on a topic; choosing the Revise button will begin a new lesson on the specific node you chose so that you can revise the node to an improved score.

 

UNIT 3 DB ASSIGNMENT: Collaboration in a business environment is a best practice that leverages the collective knowledge of the team assembled. Peer evaluation and support, provided in the spirit of continuous improvement and organizational success, result in higher quality deliverables than generally possible by the efforts of an individual. Please describe the process you plan to use to conduct research, identify findings, and develop the Comprehensive Project due in Unit 5 and present a preliminary outline indicating how you intend to organize the project deliverable.

Please review the process and outlines of other students, providing an objective assessment and constructive feedback that will help strengthen the effectiveness of their efforts and the quality of the finished product.

UNIT 4 DB ASSIGNMENT: Peer Review

Post an executive summary of your Comprehensive Project in the body of a post in this discussion (please do not use attachments). An Executive Summary is a one-page document that outlines the purpose, process, findings, discussion, and findings of a report submitted to management. CEOs often read and assess an Executive Summary before deciding to read the entire report, so this must be high quality narrative that demonstrates the significance of the work undertaken, the objectivity of research and analysis underpinning the report, and the credibility of the resulting conclusions.

Please review the Executive Summaries of other students, providing an objective assessment and constructive feedback that will help strengthen the effectiveness of their efforts and the quality of the finished report.

 

UNIT 5 DB ASSIGNMENT: Competencies and Knowledge

What competencies were you able to develop in researching and writing the course Comprehensive Project? How did you leverage knowledge gained in the intellipath assignments (Units 1- 4) in completing the Comprehensive Project? How will these competencies and knowledge support your career advancement in management?
