What are the learning types?
Vunolin lessons are woven from pieces called cards, and some of these cards are learning types that present the topic to you. These types include special layouts for areas like code, chemistry, and math. For the cards you answer, see the Question cards page.
Learning types can come in 25 different layouts to present the topic the right way. The system automatically picks the layout best suited to the topic:
- Code: one or two syntax-highlighted code snippets; for programming topics.
- Formula: a math or chemistry formula, with an explanation of its symbols.
- Worked example: a step-by-step solution to a problem.
- Flowchart: a diagram showing a process node by node.
- Tree diagram: an indented hierarchy or tree structure.
- Table: a two-column comparison or translation table.
