An active learning system comprises a plurality of learning modules whose contents together make up a predetermined corpus of knowledge to be learned by the participant(s), a corresponding plurality of sets of questions/facts relating to the learning modules, respectively, and rules prescribing a sequence of events constituting a learning session having a learning session start and a learning session finish. The events may comprise selecting at least some of said learning modules individually and successively, selecting one of the set of related questions/facts for the participant to answer, and recording progress of the participant from a learning session start towards a learning session finish according to whether or not the participant answers the selected questions correctly. The progress chart preferably is appropriate to the subject to be learned; for example the Periodic Table of Elements for chemistry, DNA sequences for molecular biology, Canada's Food Plan for nutrition, and so on. An active learning educational card game comprises a set of cards and rules for playing at least one card game using them. Each of the cards represents a respective one of the chemical elements listed in the Periodic Table of Chemical Elements and carries information about that chemical element. The rules prescribe for cards to be distributed to the players who, in their turns in a particular round of the game, attempt to use the cards to form chemical compounds, points being scored according the nature of the cards used or the nature of the compound formed, or both. Players may substitute cards from the same column, or within a defined group of individual elements or with cards from well-defined groups satisfying some specific criteria. |
