Death by Flashcard Mar 31, 2022 By Peter Bright Hi Folks, I'm fairly new to RISE and recently saw a grid of 21 Flashcards. I know this is not the norm but it made me wonder, "Is there a good rule of thumb for the maximum amount of Flashcards to use in a grid?" I would prefer 3-4, and maybe 6 at the most, but wondered what others thought. I know interactivity helps to engage the Learner but if it becomes too burdensome, I think it might be time to pull back. Thanks in advance. Peter

It really depends on what educational outcome you are trying to achieve, the subject matter, and the reasons why this block type is being used. There may be a valid reason to use a grid of 21, but I've never used more than 4 or 5.
