Card Color-Coding

You can get a lot of information about a card before you click it to view further, such as:

• Title, author(s), brief description.
• Views, favorites, comments, and downloads.
• Tags, Categories, Disciplines, and Institutions.

Color-coding provides further information about the card.

• Yellow: Yellow-bordered cards represent published cards on Engineering Unleashed.
• Green: A green-bordered card has been published and peer-reviewed for quality. This includes a green checkmark.
• Blue: A blue-bordered card has been published and designated as an Exemplar card. This includes a blue star. Exemplar cards are assessed by two or more reviewers and found to be representative of the entrepreneurial mindset. 
• Gray background: These are your own cards still in draft - if they meet your search criteria and relevancy.
