Questions / x / x / x / multiple examples

Comments: Every component follows the same format. Some have only one level. It should be noted that the same examples can be used for both examples and questions but only if the learner uses all the examples in the file. The same file of examples serves both functions.

Comments: This instruction is a very straight forward Tell Definition – Show examples – Do classify examples. No guidance or coaching. Feedback is mostly R/W. There are multiple examples. All of the instruction is similar teaching one component skill at a time with the same format. The unique part of this instruction is learner control over the sequence of instructional events and the ability to select easier or harder definitions, examples and questions.
