Frequently Asked Questions - Questions about Tutorials
We’re glad you asked! In our experience, many of the online tutorials and CEU courses on the market are either a) ugly, b) boring, c) a pain in the butt to use, or d) all of the above. We try to avoid all of that by offering these characteristics for all of our tutorials:
- An abundance of graphics and animations to illustrate complex concepts and processes
- Highly interactive with multiple opportunities to check and apply your knowledge (these are not boring, passive, video-taped lectures!)
- Full audio narration with captioning throughout
- Entirely self-paced, with the ability to log in and out at any time, saving your progress and completing the tutorial whenever is most convenient to you
- Fully online and easy to use; no need to email us your quiz results or wait for your CEU completion certificate
- Unlimited opportunities to take the quiz
- Embarrassingly affordable
The Behavior Analyst Certification Board® considers every 50 minutes of instruction to be equivalent to one continuing education unit (CEU). The length of time an individual takes to complete a self-paced tutorial can vary widely, however, and is difficult to track accurately (since you could take a long sandwich break or something in the middle of the tutorial and we would never know). Thus, we have adopted a standard formula for determining CEUs for our self-paced tutorials:
- Each screen = 30 seconds of instruction
A common rule of thumb in the elearning/training world is that each screen = 1 minute of instruction. However, research conducted on an early version of our tutorial format indicates that 30 seconds per screen is more accurate, thus we use that for our formula. Neat, huh?
The features of our lifetime”Lifetime” in this context refers to the life of FoxyLearning. While we hope that the company lives longer than you (no offense), thus giving you access throughout your lifetime, we cannot guarantee this. If the company ceases operation for any reason, we will make every attempt to continue providing access to lifetime subscribers (e.g., via hosting by a non-profit organization). and annualannual subscriptions do not renew automatically subscriptions are summarized in the table below.
| Annual Subscription | Lifetime Subscription | |
|---|---|---|
| ♦ One year of unlimited access | ♦ Unlimited lifetime access | |
| ♦ Includes unlimited quiz attempts | ♦ Includes unlimited quiz attempts | |
| ♦ Ability to “connect” your tutorial performance to a course | ♦ Ability to “connect” your tutorial performance to a course | |
| ♦ Perfect for students completing the tutorial for a course | ♦ Perfect for anyone who wants to use the tutorial as a lifelong resource | |
| ♦ Perfect for anyone who wants to earn continuing education units (CEUs) to maintain certification as a Board Certified Behavior Analyst® (BCBA®) or Board Certified Assistant Behavior Analyst® (BCaBA®) | ||
| ♦ Earn Type 2 CEUs | ||
| ♦ Immediate download of CEU completion certificate |
What a silly question—we’ll never go out of business! We hope. This is a good question, though, because the “lifetime” subscriptions we offer provide you with unlimited access to the tutorial for as long as FoxyLearning is in business and offering the tutorial. If FoxyLearning ceases operations for any reason, an effort will be made to make tutorials available at no additional cost to lifetime subscribers via hosting by a non-profit organization (such as the Association for Contextual Behavioral Science or the Association for Behavior Analysis International) or sale to another company, but this is not guaranteed. If we are unable to find adequate hosting for the tutorials, we would likely make the programs freely available via a Creative Commons license. Such versions of our tutorials would likely be without database or performance recording capabilities, but the content would remain the same.
Of course, you can make all of this a moot point by encouraging all of your friends to try out some FoxyLearning! :)
Yes, before the end of your annual subscription, you can upgrade to a lifetime subscription for the difference in cost between the two. To upgrade, simply go to the myLearning page and click on the “Upgrade” button for your tutorial.
