Personalized Learning

Each Personalized Learning assignment has four parts: a pre-assessment, a short video, an activity and a post-assessment. Scores for the pre-assessment and post-assessment are recorded in the Gradebook.

Pre-assessment

You must complete the Pre-assessment before the video, activity, and post-assessment will be available to you. This gauges your retention and understanding of the content and concepts within the chapter(s). You may only take the Pre-assessment once. If your Pre-assessment results indicate a need for additional practice (red thumbs-down), then you must watch the video and complete the activity before the post-assessment is unlocked.

To open the Pre-assessment, click Continue on the Overview page.

Video

The videos are animated mini lectures that explore key concepts to make the content more accessible and memorable. You can replay videos as many times as you need to understand the content. Click View Transcript (1) to see a full transcript of the audio narration of the video. You can also turned on Closed Captioning (2) to view closed captioning along with the audio narration.

Activity

The activity is designed to check your understanding or expand your knowledge through interactive, exploratory learning exercises, such as case studies and drag-and-drop activities. Activities are not graded.

For each question in the activity, if your first answer is incorrect, you can either View Feedback (1) to see the correct answer and rationale, or you can Try Again (2) to make a second attempt at answering the question. After the second attempt, you will see the correct answer and rationale.

Post-assessment

Each post-assessment has five questions. You may take the post-assessment more than once.

Please be sure to read the directions on the Overview screen for the post-assessment. The instructions will indicate how your instructor has chosen to set up the post-assessment, either with a maximum of three attempts to choose the correct answer, or unlimited attempts to choose the correct answer.

Your instructions will be specific for your class. An example is below.

Click Continue to begin the post-assessment.

Clinical Judgement

Clinical Judgement assignments are scenario-based exercises that walk you through patient situations and data. You will be asked to make a series of clinical judgments about patient care.

Each Clinical Judgment assignment will begin with a brief introduction to the scenario and a patient photograph. There are six questions in each assignment, all based on the NCSBN Clinical Judgment Measurement Model and the Next Generation NCLEX® approach to assessing clinical judgment. Each question features a patient chart. The chart includes clickable tabs for History and Physical Assessment, Nurses’ Notes, Vital Signs and Lab Results. The chart is modeled on the charts used in the Next Generation NCLEX cases.

As each case progresses, the chart will populate with additional data.

Click "Next" to begin the assignment.
