Do/Don’t Cards
It provides a comparative display where the learner can find the correct and incorrect ways to do something or conceive a particular idea in a joint visual context.
It displays as follows:
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Ut porta, neque id feugiat consectetur, enim ipsum tincidunt nunc, id suscipit mauris urna sit amet lectus.
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Ut porta, neque id feugiat consectetur, enim ipsum tincidunt nunc, id suscipit mauris urna sit amet lectus.
To use it in Moodle, click on the Components for Learning button In the Atto editor and select the item Do/Don’t Cards:
Use cases
- In a practical context (most often), to clarify the right/wrong way to do something. It anticipates a potential problem and provides a solution.
- In a theoretical context, to help the learner appreciate the differences between a good and a wrong approach to a particular concept or idea. The component highlights a specific matter that could be prone to be misunderstood by the learner, then shows the correct way to address it.
Is discouraged…
- To use the Do card alone. While the opposite approach -using the Don’t card only- could work as a warning based on the usual errors and misconceptions, displaying the Do card alone wouldn’t have much sense since an explained concept or procedure is expected to be correct per se.
