On Redmenta, you can choose from various worksheet modes to support self- and gamified learning. This addition extends the classic assessment with two new options.
The Self-learning and Gamified challenge worksheet modes are perfect for giving students the space to practice and learn in a playful way. All the teacher has to do is set up one of the worksheet modes with a single click. This way, the students can get instant feedback on their work while completing the worksheet without the teacher's constant assistance. This saves a lot of time for both parties, while the instant feedback is a great motivation for the students, helping them process the material and practice independently.
But how and what can the worksheet modes be used for? Let's see these settings!
Self-learning worksheet mode
With the Self-learning worksheet mode, students can immediately check if their solution is correct and correct it if necessary. They can review the tasks as many times as they like, so if they give an incorrect answer for the second time, they can try again. This worksheet mode is ideal for practice or independent learning when students can still work on tasks without pressure.

Gamified challenge worksheet mode
The Gamified challenge worksheet mode creates a real competitive situation, turning the task into an exciting challenge. In this mode, the teacher can pre-set the number of lives the student has, and in such a case, each wrong answer costs -1 life. What's even more exciting is that the student can only move on to the next page if they solve all tasks correctly (so, for example, if a single-choice question has four possible answers and the student only selects the correct answer for the fourth time, that means -3 lives for a single task). When the lives run out, the worksheet automatically closes. This worksheet mode is excellent for fun practice or testing/comparing students' knowledge on a given topic.
