The most recent session data for a student is viewable in a History window. Choose History... from the Options menu to see data from previous sessions.

There are four modes to the History screen: Sessions (all), Sessions (filtered), Behaviors (frequency), and View Behaviors (per hour).

 

Sessions (all)

Sessions (all) shows a list of the most recent sessions recorded for the Student, with the most recent sessions at the top of the list and the oldest sessions at the bottom of the list. Depending on the amount of memory in the Palm handheld, Sessions (all) can display data for up to 100 of the most recent sessions (Figure 15.4).

Figure 15.4 – View Sessions (all) Mode

Entries in the window show:

• the session type (MT, DT, ET, or RR),
• name of tutor
• time and date of the session,
• the name of the Curriculum Area (CA), with the Mastery Level in parentheses
• the Sd for the session
• the Acquisition Target (AT) for the session, preceded by the percent correct,
• distractors (D1, D2, D3), if any,
• the frequency of any observed behaviors recorded as part of the session, and
• Notes recorded during the session, if any.

For Mass Trial sessions, there are no distractors listed. For Distractor Trials sessions, there are no percent correct data for distractors because no data are recorded for distractors.

Sessions (filtered) shows a list of the five most recent sessions recorded for the Student, for the Curriculum Area selected in the second menu (Figure 15.5).
