Six Advantages of Using Paths

What are Paths?

Path acts as a bridge to connect the Activities on the map. The connection can be created in the horizontal ⬅➡, vertical ⬆⬇, and diagonal↖↘↗↙ directions.

There are TWO types of Paths that you may use in your lesson.

‘Single and Divergent Path‘

With these paths, you will be able to achieve many in a single lesson. Discovered the advantages of this feature below!

Six advantages of using the Paths feature

1. Provides a sense of assurance to your students as if you are assisting them step-by-step even without physically close to them. When the path is activated, at least one entry point will need to be set to guide your students from the start to the end of the lesson.
2. A single path gives a simple adventure experience when students go through your lesson. This is useful for an initial introduction of what Deck.Toys can do to transform your students’ learning.
3. A divergent path level ‘up’ your lesson to an exciting adventure for your students to explore. At the crossroad, your students will have the option to choose the route they wish to take (#studentchoice).
4. You, the teacher, will have the flexibility to create different sets of challenges and level of difficulty to differentiate the paths. A crossed path provides a sense of motivation to your students to master their understanding of a specific topic.

5. Path gives a pressure-free learning environment to your students as they can explore the route that they desire without the need to follow their classmates’ learning pace. Students will receive a sense of accomplishment when they are able to answer the questions without much difficulty or getting lesser wrongs in their answers.
6. Worry-free to you that your students will skip part of the material that you have put in. The Path feature makes it compulsory for students to complete each Activity that is on the path before they can reach the final point.
