Choose Determine Knowledge from the Steps Tab on the leftside of your screen.
Step 2: Learning Path
Once you complete the Determine Knowledge follow the instructions to begin
working on your Learning Path.
Your path will only consist of learning nodes that you need to work on and is
individualized for you.
You will receive feedback as you work through your path.
Step 3: Practice & Revision
As you are working in your Learning Path you may need to spend additional time
in specific areas to improve. You can do this by practicing and revising. Review
this document. Click intellipath for intellipath Suggestions to help guide you on
how to Practice and Revise to increase your Knowledge State.
How do I make the most out of the intellipath Experience?
Understand the terms of the system by reviewing the definitions below and
reviewing this document. Click intellipath for Student Tips about the intellipath
assignment.
Determine Knowledge: Your selfassessment to find out what you know and
what you need to work on for this phase. Determine Knowledge is very important
as it tells the Adaptive Learning system what you know and what you do not
know. It sets the baseline for your learning in each phase and it creates your
learning map from the results of your Determine Knowledge. The more you let the
system know, the more accurate your Learning Map and your phase work.
Learning nodes or Lessons: Lessons improve Knowledge State on each of the
learning nodes assigned for each phase. The lessons are connected throughout the
entire course map. Work on one lesson influences learning on other lessons in the
course map. Learning is a continuum throughout the course, assessment is
constant, and by revising lessons, you can continually improve their learning.
Knowledge State: A moment in time that describes a learner’s knowledge on a
Determine Knowledge, learning node or lesson. Knowledge State is real time
information and changes as you work in the system. Improving your Knowledge
State for each phase should be your goal.
Knowledge Covered: The amount of Knowledge covered based on the learning
nodes or lessons assigned to you for each phase. Completing all of your learning
nodes or lessons should be your goal for each phase.
Practice: Implemented in three different ways. First, Practice can be assigned by
your instructor, second, Practice can be assigned by the system, and third, Practice
can be a student choice. Choose Practice once you have completed the learning
node or lesson and when you have a good understanding of the material, but still
have room for improvement. Two typesdirected and undirected:
•
•
Directed Practice: Choose a specific learning node, and then choose Practice,
questions for Practice will show Goal and improvement on that specific learning
node or lesson
Undirected Practice: Choose the Practice icon; your practice questions will be on
all learning nodes for that phase
Revision: Choose Revise once you have completed the learning node or lesson
and when you feel like you need to learn more on a topic; choosing the Revise
button will begin a new lesson on the specific node you chose so that you can
revise the node to an improved score.
UNIT 3 DB ASSIGNMENT: Collaboration in a business environment is a best
practice that leverages the collective knowledge of the team assembled. Peer
evaluation and support, provided in the spirit of continuous improvement and
organizational success, result in higher quality deliverables than generally possible
by the efforts of an individual. Please describe the process you plan to use to
conduct research, identify findings, and develop the Comprehensive Project due in
Unit 5 and present a preliminary outline indicating how you intend to organize the
project deliverable.
Please review the process and outlines of other students, providing an objective
assessment and constructive feedback that will help strengthen the effectiveness of
their efforts and the quality of the finished product.
UNIT 4 DB ASSIGNMENT: Peer Review
Post an executive summary of your Comprehensive Project in the body of a post in
this discussion (please do not use attachments). An Executive Summary is a one
page document that outlines the purpose, process, findings, discussion, and
findings of a report submitted to management. CEOs often read and assess an
Executive Summary before deciding to read the entire report, so this must be high
quality narrative that demonstrates the significance of the work undertaken, the
objectivity of research and analysis underpinning the report, and the credibility of
the resulting conclusions.
Please review the Executive Summaries of other students, providing an objective
assessment and constructive feedback that will help strengthen the effectiveness of
their efforts and the quality of the finished report.
UNIT 5 DB ASSIGNMENT: Competencies and Knowledge
What competencies were you able to develop in researching and writing the course
Comprehensive Project? How did you leverage knowledge gained in the
intellipath assignments (Units 1 4) in completing the Comprehensive Project?
How will these competencies and knowledge support your career advancement in
management?
