Lessons are created in the Course Editor which is accessible from the Creator Dashboard. Each lesson consists of segments. The user progresses through the lesson’s segments in the same order as they appear in the editor.
Segments
Segments have a title and a card type. The card type determines the kind of content that will be presented.
Card Types
Text
Text segments can contain text, pictures and audio clips. These are used for explaining concepts prior to practicing them
Video
Video segments display a single YouTube video.
Automatic Cards
There are a number of different ways to configure automatic cards. Automatic cards take a list of terms and use that list to present the details of a term (images, audio recordings, translations, etc).
In addition to presenting the details of a term, the retention of a term can also be assessed and practiced by utilizing multiple choice, short answer, fill in the blanks, matching, and self-assessment. Retention is assessed in one of four categories: meaning, reading, speaking and listening.
Cards can be one or two sided, and different information can be displayed on the front and back of the card. Things that can be displayed on a card include, but are not limited to:
- Term text
- Term translation or definition
- Picture representation of the card
- Audio recording
- Audio recorder for practicing pronunciation
In multiple choice cards, many of these options can also be used in the answer choices.
