# Segment settings

## Segments in TrainTool can be set up in different ways. The main options are practice and assessment segments. Curious about branching? Contact your customer success representative at TrainTool.

**Practice**

A practice segment in TrainTool allows participants to practice the roleplays in this segment as many times as they want. In the settings, you can adjust the following options:

**General:**

- **Alix mode:** Want to use Alix for (semi-)automated feedback? Choose from the following options: 
    - **Auto:** Alix automatically provides feedback to the participant immediately after completing the exercise.
    - **Assisted:** Alix analyzes the participant’s video and provides a preliminary assessment, which is then sent to the assigned coach for review before the feedback is sent to the participant.
- **Mandatory:** Check the ‘Mandatory’ box to require participants to complete this segment before they can continue in the program.

**Schedule**

Specify when the segment becomes available to the participant and/or set a deadline to close the segment after a certain period.

**Test**

TrainTool distinguishes between **baseline assessments**, to check a participant’s initial knowledge, and **final assessments**, to evaluate their level after practicing.

In an assessment segment, a participant can complete the exercise a **maximum of two times** and will always receive an evaluation.

In the settings, you can adjust the following options:

**General:**

- **Type:** Choose whether the segment is a **baseline** or **final assessment**.
- **Who will assess?** Choose who will provide feedback: 
    - **Alix:** The AI coach Alix provides an automatic report immediately after the assessment.
    - **Coach assisted by Alix:** Alix generates an initial evaluation, which is then sent to the assigned coach for final review.
    - **Coach:** The participant completes the assessment, and the videos are sent to the assigned coach for evaluation.
    - **Participant:** The participant evaluates their own performance.
- **Mandatory:** Check the ‘Mandatory’ box to require participants to complete this segment before they can continue in the program.

**Schedule**

Specify when the segment becomes available to the participant and/or set a deadline to close the segment after a certain period.

**Norms**

Do you want participants to pass or fail? Set a benchmark score. Participants pass if they meet or exceed this benchmark. The results will be included in the report.
