Our self-study Innovative Learning Method courses give you control by providing the option to select the information you need, and to skip what you do not need. The content is organized based on how a job or task should be performed. Interactive media is used to effectively and efficiently support the topic at hand. Optional activities are also provided in varying degrees of complexity to provide practice and feedback on the presented material. Some of these courses also offer video to enhance learning.
