CertLink utilizes longitudinal assessment to support knowledge development by:

  • Administering shorter assessments of specific content at regular intervals
  • Requiring users to recall what was previously learned and then build on the knowledge
  • Using incorrect answers to trigger a repeat of key information in new questions to keep learning dynamic and continuous
