WorkshopQuest LadderVirtual Lab
A Workshop pendulum: a learner drags its length from 1.00 m to 0.25 m, and its swing trace tightens as the period falls from 2.0 s to 1.0 s, so it swings twice as often. A Quest Ladder question: make L the subject of the formula. A learner types L equals g T squared over 4 pi squared, shown as maths, picks 4, Fairly confident, and submits; the answer is marked Secure. A Virtual Lab pendulum on a clamp stand: a learner shortens the string to 0.25 m, presses Play, and the stopwatch settles on 10.0 s for ten swings.

Four surfaces. One board.

Everything you make in one surface works in the others.

Quest Ladder

Active learning, not a quiz.

Each question is a problem to work through. One question type gives many questions: change the numbers, or the part it points to, and the wording follows. Hints are there when a learner needs one, and after the answer the feedback teaches rather than marks. Right or wrong, sure or unsure, each answer lands in one of four states.

Run a quest as active learning, set work, a timed exam, a diagnostic, a sprint against the clock or spaced review, live on the board, or as a team challenge.
