EXAMPLES
|
|
|
|
Amino Acids
|
Dr. Carpenter - Polyatomic Ions
|
The Amino Acids cardset makes great use of images and text to
support learning a fairly complex topic. The cardset
author also made effective use of line breaks to make the text
objects more readable.
The Polyatomic Ions cardset author was an early adopter of
HTML formatting to insert super- and subscript text into the
cardset.
|
|
|
|
|
Treble Clef Notes
|
Piano Keys
|
Both cardsets make great use of images to create a simple and
effective learning tool for a topic with broad appeal.
In gFlashPro, these images are cached for studying anytime!
|
|
|
|
Assyrian Cuneiform
|
|
Road Racing Flags
|
Assyrian Cuneiform is a collection of five cardsets that
demonstrate how gFlash can be used to share compelling and
unique learning content with a large audience. The author
has done an outstanding job creating and hosting the large
quantity of images required to support this cardset.
Road Racing Flags show gFlash is not only a great tool for
education but for learning about anything that interests
you. We should mention we do not recommend using gFlash
while driving ... especially when going over 200mph!
|
|
|
|
C-130 Ops Limits 1
|
Allergy Board Review by CJB #3
|
Both are collections of cardsets and demonstrate that gFlash is
a great tool for the life long learner. After reviewing
both of these, we decided to stick to writing software and leave
these cards to the Pilots and Doctors.
If you're studying for a professional certification, consider
sharing your cardsets with the gwhizmobile@gmail.com via Google
Documents.

|
Families and Relationships (Spanish)
|
|
BCLU - Chinese Grammar - 5
|
|
Languages are the most popular topic in the gWhiz Catalog and
there are many great cardsets to choose from including Korean,
Russian, Spanish, Greek, Latin, .... and many more.
This set of Spanish cards is extensive, well annotated, and
grouped into meaningful subject areas. The cardset
titles are immediately relevant to anyone just browsing the
catalog (vs. "Chapter 1 vocab" or "Week 1 nouns")
This Chinese Grammar collection is also extensive and includes
both the definition and phonetic pronunciation.
|
|
|
|
|
Supreme Court Justices
|
Shapes of functions (precalculus)
|
|
We like these Supreme Court Justices
cardsets because they're simple and effective
demonstration of how easy open source information (like
Wikipedia) can be combined with gFlash to create a useful
learning tool. We're still waiting for an author to
volunteer the companion set ... the "FBI's Most Wanted" list!
The Shapes of Functions cardset also makes great use of images
to provide a mobile reference for a complex topic.
