Education Team/Content Creation Guidelines

• Do not spoon feed answers: make sure that the problem and the answer are never both visible at the same time (with the exception of multiple choice).

• For multiple choice questions (Possibly google this subject there are some good MCQ guidelines online – link?)

Make sure that the answer to select varies (e.g. not always second answer)

• • Make sure that at least 2-3 other answers are reasonable

• • Use at least one interactive game format in each lesson

• Professional appearance:

• • Make sure to use good quality resolution pictures

• • Keep fonts and colors consistent

• • Align pictures / text etc.

• Do not violate copyright. Use local resources / wikipedia wherever possible (Hint to find Wikipedia pictures you can google site:commons.wikipedia.org)

• Text should not be as an image file. Where this is the case in the book it must be typed (size matters)

• For interactive mini games

• • Make sure that in order to play the game the student should understand the concept being taught (e.g. game for living / non living items)

• • If pictures are possibly not going to be understood by the target audience add captions.

• • Games should be slightly challenging: Not impossible but not too straightforward. It is OK if the student might have to try twice etc. to complete it.

• • Games should provide structured feedback to the learner (e.g. correct/incorrect, timers, point scores, etc)

• • Where possible design games in a manner where children should experiment and learn through the game from it's feedback instead of providing all the information and examples needed in advance.

• Use pictures and graphics generously wherever possible / reasonable.
