Explanation of Terms
CHAPTER
RecallPlus chapters are equivalent to the files of other programs. They typically contain cards on a similar topic,
similar to a chapter in a textbook.
CARD
Cards in RecallPlus contain the data. They are like the pages of information in a book, and similarly the cards make up
chapters. The screen in RecallPlus shows one card at a time
TEXTBOX
Textboxes are the boxes on a card which contain the information you are learning. They are the key items on the screen.
All other items on the screen (such as graphics) must be related to a textbox, and are meant to supplement the idea within
a textbox to make it more memorable.
A card can have as many textboxes as space allows
CONNECT
Connects are the arrows running between the textboxes. They indicate the relationships between the ideas contained in the textbox.
For example: on a simple card with two textboxes containing a question and an answer, the arrow (connect) will run from
the question to the answer.
Connects inform the system of how to test you on your cards. In test mode, textboxes are revealed sequentially along the direction of
the arrows.
GRAPHICS
Graphics are the images associated with textboxes. Ideally they act as a visual memory aid to help you to learn and
recall the information or idea contained in that textbox.
- Graphics can be...
- Drawings - free hand drawings, lines, arrows, rectangles or circles.
- Labels - text outside a textbox, such as numbers to link ideas in order more visually than using the connects alone.
- Images - pictures or AV material such as video or audio.
BACKGROUND
The background of a card is a blank area where there is no textbox, connect or graphic item.
