Basic
In the below example, which shows "Basic" mode, a skill target is configured to be mastered when 80% of at least 10 trials are correct per session for three sessions in a row and the first trial in those three sessions are correct.
As an example of the above criteria, a target has been in Train for 4 sessions, with the 80% threshold achieved in each of the past 2 sessions. During the next session, suppose 7 out of the first 9 trials were correct (including the first trial).
If the 10th trial is correct, as soon as the user presses the "+" button for that trial, the current session will be considered a success, and therefore the "succeed for three sessions in a row" condition will have been met, so a banner will appear that lets the user "Tap here to transition to Completed".
Advanced
If you select "Advanced" Mode there are additional criteria that you can implement.
Configuring Mastery has two main parts, Session Outcome and Transitions, which you can combine to create powerful rules for determining how a target should progress through its stages.
Session Outcome
Session Outcome lets you specify the criteria for determining whether or not any given session succeeds for that target, In the below example, the "Session Success Criteria" for a target in "Train" is "80% of at least 5 trials are correct and the first trial is correct".
In the below example, we have chosen the "advanced" mode for "Mastery" and for the "Session Outcome" and the target is configured to fail in "Baseline" if the first trial fails in the session and to succeed when performing at least two opportunities/trials and all opportunities are correct.
Transitions
Transitions lets you specify the conditions for determining when the target should be deemed Completed or move to a different phase, based on a sequence of session outcomes, in the below example the "Session Success Criteria" for the target in "Train" is "3 successful sessions in a row, across at least 2 people".
With the above described criteria, the target below failed Baseline and has been in Train for 4 sessions, with the 80% threshold achieved in each of the past 2 sessions and it should remain in Train until the 80% of 5 trials are correct per session for three sessions in a row (including the first trial/opportunities).
Note: When you specify that a target must succeed across a certain number of people, you can simulate this by using the user button in the top of the simulated session to indicate that a different user was collecting this data. This will allow you to simulate transition criterion that involved success across multiple people.
Another note: These criteria are specified for each Phase for the target, so the Baseline (Probe) phase can have different criteria than the Train phase. Learn more about configuring these sections with the articles listed below:
