One of the tools I’ve been toying with while thinking about improving our Web Design course is FlashCardExchange. Sure, flashcards don’t necessarily provide deep processing of what we learn, but they can be pretty effective in helping us gauge our own understanding.
I’ve set up the card set Web Design Level 1 with 13 questions so far, and I’d be keen to get some feedback and/or input. Just click on the Study option (or even the Memory game option) to use the flashcards.
The questions are meant to be at the right level to match Basic HTML and CSS or (Web Design Level 1), but I’d be interested to hear what you think, or any additional questions!
One downside to FlashCardExchange is that currently you can only export your questions if you have a premium account… and I don’t want to lose these questions if FlashCardExchange goes down. So instead I’ve put them into a google spreadsheet and copy-n-pasted them into FlashCardExchange from there. The Google Spreadsheet can be shared with anyone (just let me know if you want to edit the questions!).
Go on, give Web Design Level 1 a go!
