This is a really flexible template: you can use as many delimiters as you want, and use them in whatever way you want.

So it could be parts of speech, as in Fay's example, or it could be 'intro', 'conclusion' etc if you were talking about an essay. I'm sure we are going to find people doing stuff with this we have not even imagined: teaching coding for example with functions, variables, constants marked up, and so on and so forth.

Hi Inge

I need to put some instructions together on the page for this. The idea is that you can mark up sections of text and assign them to a group. These groups can then be used in a variety of activities. E.g. Find all the adjectives in the text, then find all the verbs etc.

Here's what you do...


1.       Enter your text in the 'interactive text' field

2.       In a similar way to the gap fill page you mark up the text by surrounding it with a character of your choice (avoid using & < >). You have to manually enter these delimiters yourself.
e.g.  The |quick| |brown| #fox# *jumped* over the |lazy| #dog#
where | marks up adjectives, # nouns and * verbs.

3.       Add a 'New Group' for each group you've marked up (in this case 3 groups: adjectives, verbs, nouns)

4.       In each group you give it a name, description and say what delimiter you used to mark words for it in the text.

This should give you a basic page where you can click sections of text to find out about them. There are several interaction types you can choose to change the activity created.

Hope this helps!
Fay

Hi,

I'm trying out the Interactive text page to see if I can make an example for the Dutch Xerte Talk from next Friday.
Can someone explain to me how it works? Or a short screen video?
I can't figure it out....

By the way, love it when there are new pages :)

Bye,
Inge
