Learning resource flashcard set

Last modified by Carina Enke on 23.01.2024

KB_Lernkartei.png A learning resource flashcard set is a tool to help learners acquire and consolidate knowledge. Questions about learning content will be presented on flashcards and need to be answered by the learner. The answers have to be assessed by the learner themselves with the help of predefined answers.

 

 

If you access a learning resource flashcard set as an independent resource, the actual learning function will be missing in this view, i.e. the user will only be able to view the content of the individual flashcards. Users with extended rights can open the detailed view and the editing environment of the resource.

The full functionality of the learning resource flashcard set will only be available when used as a course element within a course: Here the flashcards are, depending on the correctness of the answer, moved a cardbox forward or backwards – until all cards have been worked through. The learning progress of the user will be saved, and they can pause or continue learning at any time. To allow for a selection of specific flashcards, filters are available.

An independent resource is only available to other users according to its publication status. This means, for example, that learners can only use this resource independent of any course if the resource has already been published in the status BAR. More information on the public status can be found at Publication status of courses and learning ressources.

For a brief introduction on how to view and change the publication status, see the page Publishing courses and course content or the overview page Course elements and learning resources.
