Dialog Cards


Dialog Cards enable you to create a set of cards with corresponding words or expressions on either side of the cards. 

Dialog cards can be used to help learners memorize words, expressions or sentences.  They provide a prompt on one side of the card, and a corresponding answer on the other side. 

Dialog cards are often used in language learning for drilling words and expressions.

Dialog cards can also be used to present math problems or help learners remembering facts such as historical events, formulas or names. 

Accessing H5P in Canvas

You can access H5P in Canvas through the Rich Content Editor (RCE), which is accessible via the edit view of Page, Assignment, Discussion Board, Announcement and Quiz questions. 

For this example, we will be adding H5P onto a Canvas page. The first thing you will need to do is either open the page you want to embed the H5P content into or create a new page. Then click the ‘Edit’ button which will open the RCE. (You will automatically go into edit mode if you create a new page.) 

Next, you will need to locate H5P in the RCE toolbar by clicking on the H5P icon.

Clicking on that menu item will open a pop-up showing your H5P library. From here, you will have the option to either insert previously created content or create something new. 



Select the Add Content option. A search bar will appear.  

Type Dialog Cards and select this from the list of options that appear.

Creating Dialog cards


The Dialog cards editor should now appear.

The top part of the editor looks like this:


The Dialog cards editor consists of a Title, a Heading, a Mode, a Task description and a set of Dialogs. 


Title


Add a title.  This will not be visible to your learners but can be used for search, reports and copyright information.  
  


Heading 

The heading will be visible to the learner through the dialog card exercise.

Mode

The next section is Mode.  There are 2 choices to choose from here - Normal and Repeating.  

Normal mode is a standard flashcard desk for simple viewing or self-paced review for the learning. The learner flips each card to view the answer. There is no scoring, tracking or right/ wrong self-assessment recorded.  Repetition mode turns the deck into an interactive study activity that tracks performance and recycles missed cards from multiple rounds. It adds 'I got it right' and 'I got it wrong' options after a card is flipped, and displays a performance summary at the end of the session. 


Task description


In this field you can give instructions to the learner.

The Task description is displayed throughout the entire set of cards, below the Heading.

Insert the description text.



Dialogs


Press the Add dialog button to add the card.


 You should now have something like this:


On this first card insert the first text in the Text field.

In the Answer field, provide the correct answer.

Insert an image under Image field.  Add a description of the image on the Alternative text for the image box. 

An audio file can be added under Audio files. (Image and Audio files are optional.)



Your editor will look like this:



Adding more cards


Add more cards by following the same procedure as above. 


You can add as many cards as you want. 

You can remove cards by pressing   button in the top right corner of the Card.
You change the order of the cards by pulling the  button in the tabbed list of cards to the left of the Card editor.


Finishing up

By now you should have ended up with something like this:


Save and Insert when you're satisfied to view your final set of Dialog cards.
