Hi Mark,
Thanks for the response. . . I'm not sure I understand it yet.
Yes, their would be an attribute for minutes because assigning this to each exercise is important.
Let me back up a step: If there were 100 different exercises would there be 100 different prototypes?
The instructions, links, etc. are identical but the time spent on the exercise varies depending on what the student needs to achieve mastery. For example, John has worked extensively on Exercise 1 and needs to review for 5 minutes. Jane needs to spend 20 minutes on Exercise 1. The content of the exercise is identical. The frequency and duration change.
What do you think of the copy and paste method?
Quote:The other solution would be to have a container filled with possible exercises. The teacher would then duplicate the exercise and drag it into the appropriate container. I suppose you could create some sort of action to rename it in such a way that you don't have Exercise 2 Copy. Some of the basic patterns would repeat, so it might not be a big deal to duplicate several from a prior week and move it into another student container.
The teacher would then manually change the minutes for each exercise.
Thanks,
Steve
