Learning Cards upgrade available

Trainer1 has launched version 2 of its 'Learning Cards' software

According to Trainer1, Learning Cards are a 'high tech' version of traditional ‘flash cards’ which allows users to make sets of revision cards when learning online.

Like a flash card, each Learning Card is two sided – with the question on one ‘side’ and the answer on the other.

Trainer1 says the updated version of this software contains:

• Wizards to help developers create cards
• Wizards to help developers create sets of cards
• A scoring and timing system – for use with multiple choice questions and answers
• Easy output to HTML for publishing Learning Cards on the Internet
• The ability to incorporate audio and video into the Learning Cards

Neil Lasher, Trainer1’s managing director, commented: "This low cost authoring tool has great potential to help learners – in the same way as flash cards have been highly effective aids to learning over very many years.

"Not only is it possible to master the technology behind producing Learning Cards in about 30 minutes but the applications of this technology range from teaching basic skills such as maths and reading, through GCSE, AS and A level examinations to professional examinations."

Trainer1 says Learning Cards are presented on the user’s computer monitor in a ‘skin’ – enabling developers to ’brand’ the cards with a logo or image. The program’s editor package outputs either html for the web or a single file that can be transferred to disk or sent by email.

Lasher added: "Each card can contain text, graphics, animation, Flash, audio and make use of RTF and HTML files. Graphics automatically resize to fit the Learning Card and they can be presented in a random order to the end user."
