Playlists Subtab – Catalyst

Target Playlists are convenient ways to group targets that users can customize based on student needs or user preferences. This allows access to all relevant targets in one easy-to-find list on the app.

Playlists can be created by a variety of methods. Users can group targets together by location, skill areas, task analysis, materials needed, etc.

Jump to Section: [Create a Playlist] [Edit/Assign Targets] [Delete Playlist]

Access the Playlists subtab from the Setup Tab in the Students Section.

Create a Playlist

Scroll to the bottom of the page and click Create Playlist.
Enter the following playlist settings:
- Name **This is a required field.
- Correction Trials - Number of identical and consecutive correction trials to be presented following a prompted response.
  
  NOTE: A correction trial is a trial presented immediately after a prompted trial as learners may often perform better on correction trials, thus providing an opportunity for differential reinforcement.
- Momentum Probes - Number of previously mastered Targets to be presented preceding each current acquisition target during a DTT session.
  
  NOTE: Momentum probes are previously mastered Targets that will be interspersed between acquisition targets during a DTT session. (If this is a social skill or net target, you may want to turn off Momentum Probes. Or use a Jump To Target.)
Target Selection Mode - Manner in which Targets are presented during a DTT session.
- Random - All targets selected for the DTT session are presented in traditionally random order.
- Weighted by Performance - Targets are presented based on their current weights, which are computed based on student performance and trial counts. Targets that students are having the most difficulty with AND the least practice become increasingly likely for selection.
- Ordered - Targets selected for the DTT session are presented in a specific, user-chosen order.
Pull Momentum Targets From - This setting allows you to select from where your momentum targets will be pulled.
- All Maintenance Targets - Momentum targets will populate momentum probes from targets across all maintenance levels for that student
- Mastered Targets from this Playlist - Momentum targets will populate momentum probes from mastered targets from this specific playlist.
- The organization may have an additional choice if additional maintenance levels were created in the Administration Portal.
Exclude Targets From - When All Maintenance Targets are selected above, the user is able to exclude momentum targets from any one of the other maintenance lists. When a list is selected here, the items appearing on it will NOT be pulled for momentum items within a DTT session.
Lock Settings - Ability to allow users to modify DTT settings during a session via the app.
Days to Run - Days for the playlist to appear on the app for users.
