(If you have been to this page before, skip these instructions and go directly to play the Cafe or Playground? game.)

Mastering a training topic involves being able to answer both closed and open questions. This is one of the basis instructional principles incorporated in the 4-Door Approach to elearning.

A closed question tests your recall of facts and mastery of basic concepts to give the correct answer. An open question requires you to use higher-order thinking skills to provide an acceptable answer. In the 4-Door Approach, the playground area uses closed questions and the cafe area uses open questions.

This CATEGORIZE game requires you to rapidly differentiate between questions that would appear in the cafe area from questions that appear in the playground area. In this game, the computer displays specific questions or statements about types of questions. On the right side of the screen you will see the two buttons: playground and cafe. Your challenge is to read each question or statement and click the area related to it.

This game can be replayed any number of times. Each time you play the game, you may get new items arranged in a new sequence. The game can be played at three levels of difficulty. The higher the difficulty level, the less time you have to make your decision.

Remember this is just a game. So don't get stressed out about getting a perfect score. (On the other hand, if you want to get a perfect score, go right ahead. Play the game repeatedly until you receive the score of 100!)
