Quest Ladder / Spaced review mode
Spaced review mode
Every learner gets what they personally are about to forget.
Thirty learners, thirty different papers, one delivery.
What it does
Spaced review fills each learner's own gaps, and the mode picker adds the condition plainly: it needs a named student.
It reads the repetition schedules on your question types and each learner's own history, works out what is due for a memory check, and serves that. Two learners in the same class get different questions from the same delivery, because they learned different things on different days.
What it needs to work
Three things, and a missing one is why a spaced review delivery comes back empty.
- A repetition schedule on the question types. Without intervals nothing ever falls due.
- A mastery gate, so there is a moment of having learned something for the intervals to count from.
- A named learner. An anonymous link has no history, so there are no gaps to fill.
The named learner requirement is not a limitation to work around. Personal links from a class are what make a learner named, and they are the same links you would hand out anyway. See Personal links.
Exam dates and ladders
Its own settings are an exam date and the ladder tokens it should draw from. The exam date is what lets the spacing compress sensibly as a deadline approaches, rather than scheduling a check for the week after the exam.
Pointing it at several ladders is the usual arrangement for revision: one delivery that covers everything a learner has met this year, rather than one per unit.
How to use it
The natural rhythm is a standing spaced review delivery that stays open, which learners return to weekly. It does not need to be re-created: what is due changes on its own as time passes.
A learner with nothing due will be told there is nothing to review, and that is the correct outcome rather than a fault. It usually means they are either very much up to date, or new enough that nothing has come round yet.
