What does it mean to be scaffolded in a concept?
Scaffolding means you have struggled with the material in a concept and are automatically directed to a prerequisite concept. A prerequisite concept should provide you with the foundational knowledge that can help you attempt the original concept a second time. In some cases, a prerequisite will have prerequisites, and if you continue to struggle, you will be scaffolded down to those prerequisites. To get back to the original concept, you will need to complete those prerequisites and go back up through the other prerequisites before returning to the original concept.
To determine if a concept has been scaffolded:
- Navigate to the the desired course.
- Find the unit containing the desired concept.
- Navigate to the Unit Dashboard by clicking on the unit.
- Find the desired concept.
- View the card for the concept. If the Scaffolded label appears on the card for that concept, that means that the concept has been scaffolded.
Note: When attempting to complete a concept, a notification will also appear if you have been scaffolded.
