I'd like to see the concept of n-part learning cards to
granule introduced . Right now question and answer side
of learning cards consist of 1 item. Learning material
may however be structured into definitions, cases to
solve and introduction texts to give an example.
Depending on the actual need of the repition circle
user may be asked only definitions or only cases.
Example for the question side of a 3-part learning card:
Introduction: Many people drive cars in the night, when
they are tired.
Definition : What is a car? What is a running car? Is
it enough to have the
motor running in the parking lot?
Case : Driver A is crashing into B's Car. B's
woman therefore suffers
from a severe shock. Which compensation
does A have to pay to B
and / or C?
When using granule learning cards with textual
questions and answers the
above scenario can be accomplished with granule, as the
user can skip
irrelevant parts and "jump" directly to the case
section f.e.
However when using granule cards with audio sections
users cannot skip irrelevant sections easily
for reasons such as:
1. Audio clips vary in lenght in total and in section
lenght. Section n may
have different offset values on every different card.
2. Skipping and browsing by itself takes proportionally
longer then "jumping
by eye" with textural cards.
The granule card template structure should be appended
as follows:
As of now every granule card consists of question and
answer, in practice front and
backside. Front and backside should be changed to be
devided into n subsections, where each subsection
has its own scoring value. Scoring values are boolean
and integer values
such as "correctly answered" or "next time to repeat" etc.

Perhaps a better approach would be to have multiple
independent question fields (front, front1, front2, ...)
each with its own 'Alt spelling' field for the audio clip,
and multiple independent answer fields (back, back1, back2,
...).
By default, everything works as originally intended, but if
a custom mapping template is activated then the user will
have any combination of question fields displayed on the
Front side of the card, and on the Back, one of the answer
fields available.
So, the standard template would be:
Q A
front back
-------
example
But then, if you wish, you can put together a custom
template with front=Introduction, front1=Definition,
front2=Case and then have a choice of grouping:
Q A
front back
front1 --------
front2 example
Or, perhaps,
Q A
front back2
front2 --------
example
or whatever.
A Profile Editor would allow the user to create/edit various
profiles by listing what range of fields is available and to
choose from.
Granule will play audio clips of each of the `field' in Q in
a sequence.
This would seem to solve your problem, and in addition, give
a chance to all Japanese (kanji, kana, romaji) students to
use their learning material effectively with granule.
I'm only concerned with two things: 1) should I store
profiles along with each cardfile or make them a part of
general preferences? 2) where to find some free time to do
all of this?
I haven't given a thought to the scoring system you've
proposed - I definitely don't want to change the way it
works right now.
