Confidence Based Learning

Last February I attended a breakout session at the TrainingMag conference in Orlando that dealt with Confidence Based Learning.

In this concept when a learner is asked a question they provide an answer, but before they find out if the answer they provided war right or wrong, they are asked about the confidence they have in the answer. Here is the breakdown.

See example

Right Answer:

 - High confidence, they are awarded 3 points

 - Somewhat Confident, they are awarded 2 points

 - No confidence, they are awarded no points (we do not reward guessing)

Incorrect Answer:

 - High Confidence, we subtract three points from their score

 - Somewhat Confident, we subtract 2 points

 - No Confidence, we subtract no points (we do not punish guessing either)

I found this intriguing and went to the Articulate Booth on the Expo Floor and asked if there was a Storyline Template that supported this concept. The rep could not find one in any of their libraries.

So I decided to make one.

The content in this example is not relevant With my military career as a backdrop I was having a little fun.

Good Luck all!
