The Game Center is a section in the learner platform where users can demonstrate their knowledge as well as acquire further knowledge.
-
Our platform offers 7 games that enhance memory retention and encourage users to spend more time studying.
-
Core Games include: Card Picker, Card Hunter I, Card Hunter II, Card Coupler, Card Sweeper, Additional Games: Crossword Puzzle, and Sudden Death.
-
Six of these games are based exclusively on flashcard content, and one uses practice questions (Sudden Death). You can match flashcard terms to the correct definition and earn a high score compared to all other users in the course. We recommend that you have at least 20 flashcards in your course so that the games remain fresh, exciting, and randomized (the Card Picker game requires 20 flashcards minimum).
Turning Games in the Game Center On/Off
Games in the Game Center are turned on by default at the course-level. These include Card Coupler, Card Hunter I, Card Hunter II, Card Picker, and Card Sweeper. However, Crossword Puzzle and Sudden Death are on at the course-level and off at the tenant-level by default. All games can be toggled on/off from either Console or BluePrint's course configuration. To do so, follow these steps:
