We’ve just released a significant update to our popular multimedia tutorial, Mastering the Basics of Visual Analysis by Katie Wolfe and Timothy Slocum. Based on user feedback and to make the instruction more clear and socially valid, the tutorial now focuses on teaching the user to discriminate whether there is a basic effect (a change in either slope or level that is different from the prediction on the previous phase). Previously, the tutorial focused on the discrimination between slope and level change. These changes primarily impact Lesson 4 and the final quiz of the tutorial. We also added brand-new, high-quality audio narration throughout!

B.F. Skinner on Education
July 25, 2022
In this 1972 conversation with John M. Whiteley, B.F. Skinner addresses a variety of important issues in education. He advocates using positive reinforcement and behavioral approaches to instruction to improve both our educational system and our culture. Topics addressed include aversive control, free will, effective instruction, morality, culture, philanthropy, educational reform, and programmed versus natural contingencies.

Notes Tool Retired
January 16, 2022
We used to offer a simple notes tool that could be used during modules to record personal notes. Unfortunately, the software we used for that tool proved increasingly unreliable and was causing problems on our site. There are also many third-party note-taking tools and browser extensions available now that are much more sophisticated and useful than our simple tool. Thus, we decided to retire our notes tool.
If you’re looking for a new way to take notes on our website (or any website!), some good options include Zoho Notebook (free), Google Keep (also free), Evernote (both free and paid plans), and Microsoft OneNote (included if you use Microsoft 365). LifeWire has a nice overview of note-taking apps, too.
CEU Summary Report
November 11, 2021
We now provide a CEU summary report that documents all of the CEU modules you have completed on FoxyLearning! This can be quite handy if you complete multiple modules with us and want a single document as verification rather than a certificate of completion for each module (although you can, of course, still download an individual certificate of completion for each module). The report can be accessed at any time from the myLearning dashboard.
This feature is now part of our new site, CEUniverse!
Country-Based Pricing
August 25, 2021
To make our modules more affordable throughout the world, we have implemented country-based pricing for all of our products. Discounts will be automatically applied for users who live in countries with an income per capita that is less than 75% of the United States, with greater discounts applied for greater disparities. The discount will be applied automatically at checkout based on your billing address.
Chomsky vs. Skinner: In Their Own Words
August 20, 2021
The debate between the behaviorism of B.F. Skinner and the structuralism of Noam Chomsky continues to this day. Now hear directly from both men, in a series of archival interviews and speeches spanning several decades, as they address the philosophical and practical differences between their approaches.

Module Surveys Now Available
July 20, 2021
When you finish a module, you’ll now see a button to open a very brief survey. You can also access this button for any module you’ve completed just by going to that module’s home page via the myLearning dashboard. Please take a moment to complete these surveys whenever you complete a module. Your feedback is truly valuable to us and really helps us improve and make our modules as foxy as they can be!
Open Behavioral Science Website Relaunched
February 18, 2021
We just relaunched the Open Behavioral Science website to make it more streamlined and hopefully more useful. Along with updating a bunch of links and resources, we added an autogenerated open science newsfeed and even created a proper logo! Check it out and join the fight to make behavioral science more open.

Review Completed Lessons More Easily
October 28, 2020
After you complete a lesson in a multimedia tutorial, you can now go back to review that lesson with open navigation. This means that you will be able to browse or review the pages of that lesson in any order and will not be required to complete the Knowledge Checks again.
Search for Coursepacks
September 18, 2020
Students who have lost or have not received the link to the coursepack for their course can now search for it via our new Buy a Coursepack page. Faculty and instructors should still share a direct link to their coursepack with students, as this will best reduce the possibility of students purchasing the wrong coursepack.
Progress Within Videos Now Saved Automatically
September 3, 2020
Your progress while watching an interactive video is now saved automatically throughout the video, not just at the end! This means you can watch just a portion of the video, leave the page or close your browser, and then return later to automatically resume the video where you left off.
Links to Video Slides Updated
August 22, 2020
Several of our interactive video modules had broken or outdated links to download the speaker’s slides. These have all been fixed, both within the video and on the “Materials” tab of the module.
Group License Purchase Page Fixed
August 15, 2020
Our group license purchase page should be working normally for all users now. Please contact us at [email protected] if you have any trouble with it!
Coursepacks Replace Course Connection Codes
January 2, 2020
With our site’s relaunch, we have replaced the cumbersome “course connection” process with the simpler concept of coursepacks. Now to use one or more of our modules as a course supplement, you just follow these simple steps:
- Complete a simple form telling us which of our modules you’d like to use for your course. We’ll create a digital “coursepack” for you and send you a unique link to give to your students.
- Refer your students to your coursepack link. When they purchase the coursepack, they gain immediate access to the included modules and are automatically added to a private group associated with your course.
- Track the progress and performance of any students who purchased your coursepack from the myTeaching dashboard.
