Family Dinner
📝 Family Dinner app - with this app, students learn to recognise an argumentative error from that aunt over Christmas dinner - Leiden University
In the Psychologie en Wetenschap (Psychology and Science) course, Wooflash was used as part of the Family Dinner learning experience. This project aimed to develop students' critical thinking skills by immersing them in realistic conversations where they needed to identify logical fallacies and biases.
How Wooflash Was Used:
- Interactive Storytelling: Students engaged with a gamified storyline, answering multiple-choice questions (MCQs) throughout the five-chapter experience.
- Spaced Repetition & Adaptive Feedback: Key concepts were reinforced using Wooflash’s spaced repetition system, ensuring students retained and applied knowledge over time.
- Post-Class Practice: Students could continue using Wooflash after class, strengthening their critical thinking skills at their own pace.
Using Wooflash for scenario-based learning allows students to engage with subject material dynamically, helping them develop critical analysis skills beyond traditional lectures.
