Generation 

Generation Exercises aren't automatically graded; they're subjective and therefore must be graded by the instructor. There are two types of Generation Exercises: Audio and Text.

 

Audio Generation

These exercises ask students to record themselves saying a sentence or two using the appropriate medical terminology.

Chromebooks are supported. iPads may be supported with the latest versions of iOS.

Text Generation
