This module is designed to help advance industry practices and support continuous learning through provision of two free interactive learning modules featuring:

• Real Estate Concepts. These modules present the definitions for a number of key real estate concepts organized into meaningful topics and categories. The concepts are presented in a number of formats including flash cards, matching games, crossword puzzles and glossary listings.
• Calculated Questions. These "calculated questions" provide a standard problem statement with dynamic independent variables that are replaced in subsequent attempts. Once an answer is submitted and graded you will see the correct answer. The next time you challenge the question, you will be given a new set of inputs to try again. There are also links to tutorials that will provide additional hints on how to set up the problems.

If you have suggestions for this feature or added questions, please Contact Me. If you want a new module, let me know and I will try to prioritize it. Happy interactive learning!
