Using this component, you can interactively build a summary of a certain topic. Summary Questions are a perfect way to strengthen your learners’ ability to remember by encouraging them to build interactive summaries as they learn. Summary Questions can be created stand-alone or they can be included in Interactive Videos or Presentations. Either way, they are created in the same way.
Summary Questions work best when they are presented to the learner immediately after the learning content.
Examples are:
at the end of an article or a chapter of text
at the end of a video
at the last slide of a presentation
Summary Questions help the learner remember key information in a text, video or presentation, by actively building a summary about the topic at hand. When the learner has completed a summary, a complete list of key statements about the topic is the end result.
Optional introduction text is provided above the summary task. The user can read the summary statements below the introduction text.
Leaner clicks on any one of the summary statements which is correct.
If the leaner has selected the correct statement, it will be moved to the top of the page and the green tick mark will be shown at the right corner of the statement.
If the leaner has selected any wrong statement, it will be highlighted in red and the statement is struck out with a red line.
The learner’s progress and wrong answers count will be updated accordingly.
The leaner can select answers again until they choose the correct one.
Once all the statements in this set have been completed, the next set of statements appears.
Once all the sets of statements are completed, your result will be displayed at the bottom of the page.
