The eCards package for LaTeX enables you to create a series of electronic (flash) cards. The demo file for this package is named eCardstst.pdf. The document author provides questions, hints and answers to a series of questions. Users can test their knowledge by responding to the questions. The questions are delivered in random order.
The distribution:
- eCards.zip : All the files you need except for the manuals.
- eCardsman.pdf : An onscreen version of the manual. The manual is somewhat terse, most concepts are illustrated in the demo file eCardstst.tex, provided in eCards.zip.
- eCardsman_p.pdf : a printable version of eCardsman.pdf.
- eCardstst.pdf : The pdf version of the demo file.
Note: This package requires the AcroTeX eDucation Bundle.
The idea for the creation of this package was suggested to me by Dr. Thomas Price. I wrote an early version of this package of him and one of his honors students, Ms. Katie Jones. Together they've produced electronic flash cards for Trigonometry, see Learning Trig using Online Flash Cards.
Jürgen Gilg and Simon Singer (http://www.interattractive.de/) offer up this beautiful example of eCards. The "eKarten" are in German and cover some ideas from the Cartesian Coordinate System.
Hope someone finds this package useful.
Now, I've simply must get back to work.
