Self Paced Training

Our Self-Paced training videos are the primary way to be trained on the DT Trainer and Activity Trainer instructional software. The videos are designed to walk you through the programs at your own rate for visual and hands-on learners. The self-paced training videos are great for individual and group instruction.

• The DT Trainer training videos consist of 10 parts from about 3 to 20 minutes long per module for a total time of less than 1 ½ hours. We go deeper into many areas than we did with live training as we are able to produce a more efficient explanation along with animated graphics. You will also be able to pause, replay, or even speed up the video to accommodate your learning rate. There are “Pause this video and go try it” points with activities facilitating hands on opportunities. Each section gives the video duration, helping the teacher decide when she/he can work in the training.
• This is an excellent resource for group training with the pause points allowing inclusion of hands on training, group discussion, or collaboration.
• Administrators can view the complete training to understand the DT Trainer educational resource available to their teachers. Administrators should at least view Part 1 for a product overview, and then skip around sections to get the depth of understanding they need.
• Support staff should view all the videos to understand the training tool now available to their teachers and point teachers to sections that will aid in the understanding of the program or answer a question.
• Experienced DT Trainer teachers should view the entire training or skip around to fill in gaps in their knowledge of the DT Trainer. We recommend the “How It Works’, “Making Changes”, “Reports”, and “Maintenance Tools” sections. The reports section has been significantly expanded from previous trainings and includes the newer features, and the pause points and exercises will help teachers get more out of the reports. A solid grasp of the “How It Works” section will help teachers read reports and get more out of the program for a wider range of students.
• New teachers to the DT Trainer should plan on viewing all the video training. Hands on learners need to do all the pause point exercises.

• The Activity Trainer training videos consist of 23 topics from about .5 to over 4 minutes long per topic for a total time of less than 50 minutes. You will also be able to pause, replay, or even speed up the video to accommodate your learning rate. As needed, pause the video and go try it in the actual program if you have the Activity Trainer installed on your computer. There are free 30 day trials downloadable from our website so you can get a trial if you do not have a licensed copy of the software on your computer. This resource helps teachers work the training into their busy schedule. Most topics are less than 4 minutes which will help you work in the training.
• This is an excellent resource for group training where you can pause at various points for inclusion of hands on training, group discussion, or collaboration.
• Administrators should view the complete training to understand the Activity Trainer educational resource available to their teachers. Administrators should at least skip around sections to get the depth of understanding they need.
