Assessments are often a critical requirement for customers. And equally often, the learning experience provided to participants (either in a classroom or online) is purely information based and does not contain enough opportunity to apply that information in a given context and complete the learning. In such cases, practice is the missing link between the learning and assessment. STAM’s TriplePlay is a comprehensive approach combining learning, practice and assessments for a complete learning experience. The “Practice” in this approach can be of several flavours depending on the context. It can be Guided where the system helps the learner in a step-by-step fashion, providing cues and feedback at every step. Practice can also be Unguided leaving the learner free to commit errors and learn through the process of making mistakes. In this case, learners get slightly delayed feedback. This method is recommended when the learner needs to be encouraged to take risks and / or experience the consequences of their actions.
