the student will require when performing and supporting the

Practice provides an opportunity to use skills and knowledge
prior to testing.
Practice items provide a source of dynamic interaction that is
not possible in other media.
By performing, the student can see where more practice is
needed.
Practice exercises are accompanied by help and remediation
information.
Practice quizzes usually suspend the help function but provide

interacting with the computer while engaged in ICW practice
sessions. One facet of that interaction is understanding Input
