Card Box

The Card Box activity can help your students memorize vocabulary, technical terms, formulas and definitions. In order to support its students in independently repeating extensive learning content, RWTH Aachen University would like to offer a digital flashcard system. This is to be developed as a plug-in for Moodle, which the university has been using since March 2019 as a teaching and learning platform.

Since in university large amounts of material are taught in a short time and should be available in the long term, effective and time-efficient learning strategies are needed. Card index boxes or flashcards represent such a strategy.

The digital version extends both the learning possibilities and the user-friendliness of a normal flashcards. Images and other multimedia content can be integrated, and once created, cards can be made available to many users. In addition, a digital flashcard can be easily transported and used at any time, for example on train journeys or in the waiting room.
