There are several advantages to learners including the ability to more accurately track progress toward completion of milestones.  More specifically, the improved 9960 and 9971 courserooms will be more similar to GuidedPath didactic courserooms with which learners are very familiar.  Learners will also have additional resources embedded in the courseroom to support their development.  Finally, with the embedded assignments and rubrics, learners will have a better understanding of their performance and progress toward completion.
