Mark, I like your idea. It dovetails nicely with this project as well as another I'm working on. The content to be learned should be "chunked" into discreet units small enough to not take too long to learn and test on but large enough to encapsulate a complete concept or idea.
Testing in-context with real-time feedback is an excellent idea. Your idea of directing the student through various tiddlers is similar to Michael Mahemoff's http://tiddlywiki.mahemoff.com/QuizPlugin.html. That approach is fine but in a large TW the tiddler count could become hard to manage. I lean more toward Paulo Soares' http://www.math.ist.utl.pt/~psoares/addons_2.4.html#QuizzerPlugin to provide the test questions and meaningful feedback within the same tiddler as the content. The UI for test questions is more verbose but the control is finer, which I prefer. I haven't poured over the code but, assuming all the displayable content can be wikified, then both the questions and answers can direct to additional tiddlers or external links. Another application of Paulo Soares' http://www.math.ist.utl.pt/~psoares/addons_2.4.html#QuizzerPlugin is to provide questions that direct the student down a path, i.e. Continue (move to next tiddler in story) or Review (return to beginning of this tiddler or story). Of course, simple links will probably work just as well... Thank you for the feedback, Mark. Craig -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
