I was wondering if anyone had any experiences to share or advice to offer regarding using mnemosyne to learn items based on labelled diagrams. This is probably best explained by example.
If you look at http://www.biotopics.co.uk/plants/leafst.html it shows the structure of a leaf. If I was to use a diagram or photograph and wanted to learn the parts of a leaf, tree, or some botanical feature, I could use two diagrams. The first one with a blank space and an arrow pointing to the feature, and the Answer with the same diagram, but with the blank completed with the necessary information. This would work fine except that I could see it using a lot of screen real estate. I like using diagrams or photos as large as possible, and if I have the same image duplicated, it's not going to work. Certainly not in pre 2.x mnemosyne, and presumable in 2.x only by using scroll bars to position the answer or question as required. Another possibility would be just to just have one diagram, and the Answer section to just contain the text for the label. This is currently my preferred approach. It does limit things a little in terms of how much information can be effectively prompted for, but perhaps that's no bad thing (minimum information principle). With a bit of ingenuity it would be possible to use the same image in lots of questions and save a significant amount of disk space. What would be nice is if there was an option to make the Question disappear once the answer was displayed. This would allow nice large images. I would be interested to hear how others handle such information. Thanks, Dougie -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "mnemosyne-proj-users" group.
