This website explores the use of javaScript to add interactivity to language learning materials. The main advantage of javascript is that it can be used to add a lot of interactivity yet web pages are still relatively small and fast to load. In addition no plug-ins need to be downloaded and installed.
Paragrapher
February 23, 2010 on 11:35 pm | In JavaScript Activity | No CommentsI wrote this exercise because I wanted to give my students some in paragraphing. The idea was to produce an online version of the standard kind of exercise where students divide a piece of continuous text into different paragraphs. It’s pretty simple stuff – the user is told how many paragraphs there are and can make a paragraph by clicking at the end of a sentence. Choices can be changed and when the user is satisfied they can check their answers. They get overall feedback and can also get feedback about right or wrong choices at a click. They can continue the task until they are successful.
As this is an exercise type that is quite simple, but is also one I use quite a lot at certain times of the academic year, I am making an authoring tool for this which should be ready for beta testing at the beginning of march.
