1. Landing page
The landing page is both exercise selection and Training Log. Here, students select the desired exercise set and have an insight into their work status.
1.1. Exercise selection
Each learning module in the LOGO series focuses on an important topic of pre-school learning. The start page of the learning module is both an exercise selection and a Training Log. A learning module in the LOGO series always offers nine different exercises on the topic of the learning module. Click or tap on the triangular exercise symbol to select the difficulty level of an exercise. The exercises become more challenging from top left to bottom right.
The learning modules in the LOGO series are language-free.
1.2. Training Log
The exercise selection is also a Training Log and continuously documents the learning progress. The three sides of the triangular exercise symbol represent the three difficulty levels of an exercise. They are filled with color according to the degree of completion of an exercise. Anyone who completes all three difficulty levels of an exercise without errors is rewarded with a star.
Level 1 solved without errors
Level 2 solved without errors
Level 2 incompletely solved or error during processing
All 3 levels solved without errors
2. Levels of difficulty of an exercise
The three difficulty levels of an exercise help children to familiarize themselves with a topic. In the introductory level, they get to know the mechanism and the requirements of the exercise in the simplest possible way. Success is guaranteed. This motivates them to tackle and master the increasing challenges of the next levels.
The next level is unlocked as soon as the previous level has been solved completely and without errors.
Level 1 – Introductory exercise with tutorial character
