Here’s How It Works!

Step 1: Click on a lesson
First, click on the lesson you want to take. The course shown here is “Confined Space Entry”. As you can see, there are six lessons. Each lesson is designed to take seven to ten minutes of employee time. All lessons can be taken in one session or the training can be easily broken up into multiple sessions. Mastery’s exclusive Follow-up Review feature will ensure a maximum learning experience if the course is taken over several sessions.

Step 2: Take pre-test (Optional)
If this is the worker’s first time taking this lesson, the system will ask if (s)he would like to take the pre-test to see how much of the material they already know. As an administrator, you can make the pre-test mandatory or optional to the learner. You can also leave it turned totally off so that it isn’t available to the learner.

Step 3: Watch full-screen video
Next, the worker views full-screen, full-motion video. The video is smooth and broadcast quality. It’s just like watching TV. It’s not jerky or choppy like other digital video you may have seen. And it fills the screen—not just part of it. Powerful learner controls are always available allowing the worker to repeat material, jump forward, access the glossary of terms, or use the topical index.

Step 4: Participate
During the lesson, the worker participates in interest-arousing interactions, practice activities and even emergency simulations. For example, in “Confined Space Entry”, your workers are put in the middle of an emergency simulation. To be successful, your workers must make correct judgements through three levels of interactions. After each decision the worker sees the results of his/her decision played out in video.
In other courses, workers may be looking up information on MSDSs, analyzing a worker performing a lockout procedure, evaluating the stability of a forklift load or practicing many other scenario-based activities.

Step 5: Answer questions
After the lesson, the system will ask your workers questions. Each question is fully narrated to help your workers who might have poor reading or comprehension skills. Some workers may ask for questions to be repeated. Others may skip the completion of a narration as soon as they’re ready to answer the question. All reading and comprehension levels are addressed by the system.

Step 6: Get instant video review
The system will automatically give your workers a video review on the questions they miss and keep reviewing until they master each question. It doesn’t just tell the worker they answered correctly or incorrectly, the system goes back and replays or further explains the material until the worker understands. This process combined with our exclusive Quiz Reviews and Follow-up Reviews is at the heart of our exclusive 600% Guarantee.

Powerful Learner Controls

Easy to use “VCR” learner controls
It’s easy to control a Mastery course. Workers immediately know how to navigate through the course and make the pace of the presentation exactly match their needs because Mastery’s learner controls are similar to operating a VCR or CD player. Workers can instantly back up, pause, and skip ahead by pressing the buttons on the panel.
