What problem does it solve?

Traditional learning often involves passive consumption of content followed by questions, leading to lower engagement and retention. This skill helps you design "Pure Question-Based Learning" (pQBL) materials where questions come first, and all learning content is embedded directly within constructive feedback, maximizing active engagement and retention.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Question-First Design: Guides the creation of learning modules that start with questions, eliminating prerequisite readings or lectures and promoting active discovery.
• Content-Rich Feedback: Ensures all learning material is delivered through elaborated feedback, explaining why answers are correct/incorrect and providing comprehensive context.
• Variation Theory Integration: Leverages Marton's Variation Theory (contrast, separation, generalization, fusion) to structure question sequences for optimal discernment of critical aspects.
• Use Case: Instead of a lecture on Git commands, this skill would guide you to create a sequence of questions like "Which command stages changes?" with feedback that explains git add and its purpose, then "What happens if you stage a file and then modify it again?" with feedback explaining the need to re-stage.
