This page is the starting point to explore “concept cards,” which are physical cards that summarize findings from research papers and highlight the essential details.  Each card contains a QR code that links to a companion page on this site that contains additional information and materials such as videos, additional URLs, and related materials.

The Urban Interventions class of 2014 is creating the first batch of the cards based on the papers covered in the course.  Each group will be creating the cards as they see fit, the aim is to let the students determine the structure of the cards as appropriate for each paper.

The cards can then be freely used by the students in preparation for their exams, but additional future work will include a system to challenge and quiz students through the interactions with the physical and virtual content.
