Why didactics?
Learning always takes place on an individual level - there is no universal recipe for success that is the same for everyone and achieves the same results. However, there are didactic principles that always apply.
It is helpful to follow these didactic principles in order to convey knowledge content in the best possible way, pick up learners and accompany them in their learning process.
How exactly does this guide work?
This guide is aimed at authors, content creators and trainers who want to map their teaching content in the ovos play app.
It supports you in creating digital learning content: The mix of sound theory, useful tips and practical examples from different subject areas serves as a step-by-step guide to understanding the basic didactic principles and easily creating your own content - for card decks for self-learning as well as for interactive presentations with ovos play LIVE.
