Randomized flashcards?

Feb 10, 2020

Greetings, all

I'm trying to make a user-assessed set of flashcards, on a timer (what the client wants).  Right now, once a card is flipped, a circle shows up that  users can click they believe their answers to be correct.

I'm concerned that users will be learning patterns of answers, and not the answers to the flashcards.  Is there a way of randomly presenting slides (I don't think there is) or of somehow putting flashcards into a bank?  (I can lose the scoring function if needed, I'm more interested in random presentation.)

I'm attaching the skeleton of the file if you want to take a look.

Hello, I took a crack at this. 

Triggers get a little funky with the new panel, sometimes they won't go up or down where you want them and you have to finagle them up and down a bit to get them to go where you want them.  That said, this is not bulletproof, it works most the time, but gets hung up sometimes when going back to the same slide.  It may give you some ideas! 

But thought I would post, maybe a fresh set of eyes could do it better ;0)

Good luck!

To randomly draw slides you can add them to a question bank, they do not need be questions.

To randomise the position of the flash cards I would create the slide as a pick one or pick many freeform and set them to appear randomly doesn't need be submitted you just want the random function.

A lot easier than messing with variables (sorry Jeff).

I added a file to show how it works
