Feature requests

It would be helpful for users to have a button with the dialog cards that lets them flip all the cards at once to the opposite side in case they want to work the other direction.  For example, if Term is on side 1 of the card and Definition is on side 2 of the card, and I may want to practice providing the term that matches the definition rather than supplying the definition for the term.

Hi!

The feature you want is implemented in my own version of Dialog Cards. Here's an extract from the doc at https://www.rezeau.org/drupal/node/48

Display which side first

Select the card display mode. The options are: Display front side first (normal display) / Display back side first (reverse display) / User's choice. This option is especially useful if the front of the cards is not really a question. It is illustrated in the Flags and Countries example.

Please note that the "papi Jo" versions of Dialog Cards and Drag & Drop are unofficial versions, and make sure you read the full documentation and disclaimer before uploading to your own site.

The ability to flip a set of dialog cards so that the answer shows first would be awesome. In language courses, I use the dialog cards with the word in the foreign language on the front plus an audio file for pronunciation, and the English translation on the back. This is a good way to introduce new vocabulary terms, but students ultimately need to learn to produce the words themselves in the foregin language, so the ability to flip the deck so that they can quiz themselves would be great. The only way to do this now is to build a whole separate set of cards with English on the front and the foreign language on the back which is quite tedious, especially when we are adding an audio file to each card.

My 'papi Jo' version of H5P Dialog cards answers your request. My test has moved to here: https://www.rezeau.org/moodle/course/view.php?id=12 and the H5P Dialog Cards 'papi Jo' documentation is here: https://www.rezeau.org/moodle/mod/page/view.php?id=276

Thanks Papi Jo! Any chance these modifications will ever make it into the official H5P version? I'm only able to use H5P through my institution's account, so I can't customize the components.

"Any chance these modifications will ever make it into the official H5P version?" This is very unlikely to happen.
