- Weighed (by performance) - Targets are presented based on their current weights, which are computed based on student performance and trial counts. Targets on which students are having the most difficulty AND the least practice become increasingly likely for selection.
- Ordered - All Targets selected for the DTT session are presented in a specific, user-chosen order. In order to utilize this feature, you will also need to create a Playlist.
