Manual editor
On the one hand, if you start this editor to create a new exercise, the next window will appear.
In that window, you will be able to select the exercuse language and the number of empty image-sound pairs that will be added to the new exercise.
On the other hand, if you start this editor to open an already existing exercise, the manual editor will be shown with all the information about the exercise.
Components
The following image shows the main window of the "To pair sound-image" exercises manual editor.
As it is observed in the previous image, the exercises edition zone contains three panels: Image-sound Pairs , Images and Sounds .
Image-sound pairs panel
At the top of this panel there is a toolbar that allows to make operations on the pairs and also to change the exercise configuration parameters.
Under that toolbar, the image-sound pairs that have been already added to the exercise are shown. Every row represents an image-sound pair of the exercise. This panel also contains four columns that describes the current state of every pair: Image , Sound , Correct and Complete .
- Image: It shows the image associated with every pair.
In the previous image, the left figure indicates that the pair doesn't has an associated image and the right figure shows the pair associated image.
- Sound: It shows the sound that is associated with every pair.
If the left figure appears at the Sound column of a pair, it means that the pair doesn't has an associated sound. If the one that appears is the right figure it means that the pair has an associated sound.
- Correct: A correct pair is a pair in which the image corresponds with the sound. The child should press it to succeed.
In the previous image, the figure on the left side indicates that the pair is correct and the figure on the right that it is incorrect.
- Complete: A pair is complete when it has associated image and sound.
In the previous image, the figure on the left side indicates that the pair is complete and the figure on the right that it is incomplete.
Images panel
The available images are shown in this panel and they can be associated with the image-sound pairs that have already been added to the Image-sound pairs panel. The top part of this panel allows you to filter the concepts (or topics) and the image language that you want to select. The lower panel will be showing the images that fulfill the conditions of the filters. If you press the "View details" button located to the right of the filters, additional information of the images will be shown.
