Pre-Encounter Learner part
Filled out by Learners
Purpose: learner orientation, or assessment of a learner's prior knowledge
This part contains any textual or multimedia content that provides background information for learners about the Case and patient before the encounter.
There may also be questions set up for the students to fill out, which may or may not be scored questions.
The Pre-Encounter Learner part is only displayed fully once. The part will not be displayed upon the next login once the learner submits it.
It can be accessed via a link at the top of the Post-Encounter Learner checklist.
Uncheck the respective checkbox within their individual checklists to enable Learners to access the Pre-Encounter Learner part (door note) again.
This can also be helpful in case video recording start is set on Pre-Encounter Learner part display and it needs to be re-set for some reason. (See How to Set Up User-Action-Controlled Video Recording.)
For details on how to create a checklist, see the Checklists page.
The Item counter option is checked by default, meaning that items are sequentially numbered.
Time limit
You can set up a time limit for learners at the top of the pre-encounter checklist in the Case Content editor.
If a learner runs out of time while filling out their checklist, the system will sign out the learner and save all the answers entered until sign-out.
Even if the learner does not click the Submit button, the system will save the responses as if they were submitted.
Responses are final
If the Responses are final option is checked, learners can only submit their checklists once; they will not have access to modify their responses later.
All/None Switches
With one click, you can enable or disable Comment boxes for every question of the checklist and /or mark every question as Answer required all at once.
The All/None switches at the top of the checklist apply to every item of the checklist.
 | Comment box | When enabled, every item will have a comment field displayed at data entry for learners to add notes. |
 | Answer required | When enabled, submitting the checklist is not allowed until all questions are answered; if none are required, then the checklist can be submitted even if none have been answered. |
