Education Module Card (HTML/CSS)
Best for: a compact teaching or enablement unit where the reader needs the lesson objective, key concepts, and one takeaway block Avoid when: the content needs a full course page, exercises, or searchable long-form learning text Answers: what this module teaches, and what the learner should remember first

Use one learning objective plus 1–2 support panels that explain the concept and the takeaway.
Key Options
| Option | Effect |
|---|---|
| Education-style split panels | Separates concept from takeaway |
| Clear teaching headline | Makes the card function like a learning module cover |
| Controlled explanatory text | Keeps the artifact readable rather than lecture-like |
Pitfalls
- ❌ Treating the card as the full lesson → ✅ this is a module summary, not the whole teaching asset
- ❌ Mixing several unrelated concepts → ✅ each education card should teach one thing well
- ❌ Overusing metrics where explanation is the main need |
