Hi and this is me my name's Stacy Seecharan and I am working here at TLC on an eLearning Project.
using one of the new exciting softwares called Canvas.
So it is a first for me although I'm involved in education at a post grad land Ph.D level.
It was interesting and exciting to be involved in this. Now I use this experience
to be/make something I am pleased about. It's in Spanish
and I was interested in making the learning in Spanish fun and visual!
So let's get to it. I'm just gonna talk you through
how it looks. So when you log on to the course.
This is the Student View... eTapas
That's what we call it and what you can do, is you can click on that
and you can see the characters there. Each one of those characters become
alive and real and they actually become like a theme throughout all the topics.
so this enables students to feel an
an affinity and feel somewhat close to these characters.
So here we go, the interface
is twofold to make it fun, we have this comic strip
and you roll over, each of the comic panes
to find out what you can learn
On this pane, it is pronunciation
the pane next to it: introduction and greetings
countries and nationalities
And of course if you want the old school which is the linear
on the left hand side we have the famous
navigation bar we're gonna go ahead and
look at numbers and dates some pretty sensual
in all languages, once the user
clicks on that . We come face to face with this interface and this is on
navigation bar.
you can see it 5 comic pains gets schooled
read a comic, watch a clip, practice
take a quiz and it is not in any particular order them for example
I just might be a visual guy and want to go straight to reading a comic
what this does is it brings up
an actual comic which I'm viewing in line in canvas
and there's the adventure. There is my two characters
Sara and Juan, and they are hanging out there
on the bench and then they're also
hanging out in a camp oh my gosh I hope they practice saying something candy
apple
it ok they're gonna go back
and choose another option
maybe watch comic clear this is a nice warm
this allows me to be really lazy so maybe I am having a couple 30
you on some my alarm biscuits I can watch it
fullscreen at home and not do anything it's almost like the TV
and this will go along
as you can see Pope in the terminal
palm
commander that it's getting hot hot n steamy
I all lordy we can go back
and what about some learning activities I taking their content to maybe I just
wanted
Pack two straight away cuz maybe not gonna Spanish people
i click on practice with that opens up
as flashcards this is nice it's not too much work it's
casual it's in English pack a.m.
each one is a question
no
thing I know the answer to that
well obviously I don't so I'm gonna give up people back
CC hope this works is not open to talk you temperance
with this seriously exercises with peace contents
and these cactus might go along with it
it's nice is easy and from here this would make me feel a little more
confident
actually going to regular class all
maybe pay a little bit of money for 10 by local French tutors or something like
that
