Notes

Leksa

  • Outsource the development?

Possible improvements:

  • Enhance the lexicon with frequency information
  • Adding much more spellrelax to Leksa
  • Color the letters that are right, resp. wrong in the user's answer that is almost correct.
  • Add spellchecker
  • Sound (either read, or synthetic speech)
  • Picture
  • Self-made association clues
  • Prioritate words the user didn't know
  • Repetion algorithm

Morfa-C

Read aloud the sentences (synthetic speech)

Pronunciation exercises

CALST pronunciation/sound program

  1. System speaks
  2. Student speaks
  3. Student listens to own pronunciation
  4. The system might even give feedback on the error (segment length..)
  5. Choose the correct written form

Gielese

Anki

  • the user makes his own flashcards or download what others have done
  • the user decides how hard/easy the word was => repetion algorithm
  • the user downloads it, uses it offline
  • open source

Vocabulary

"Fluent forever"

No repetition function

Anki, Mnemonise

Space repetition is much more efficient than going through all cards again

Anki calculated the time span

E.g.

picture one side Northern Saami on the other side No Norwegian, English, anywhere

You report how well you remembered it (1, 2, 3) Intervals: now, an hour, tomorrow, next week, month, year We already know the intervals

Portability

gïelese

lär

Anki asks, I have to think We should be able to integrate user input

Duo Lingo

  • Ready made flashcards of different kinds,
  • presented mixed, tests, discussion pages
  • repetition algorithm?
  • the user uses it online, or can download an app
  • not open-source, but free to use

Memrise

  • anyone can upload content
  • not open-source
  • judge the time you use adding answer
  • have to be online

Quizlet

  • teacher makes tasks
  • different kind of tasks:
    • vocabulary learning
    • dictate
    • writing
    • tests
    • game
  • Quizlet example

Research should be done if we want to improve Leksa:

  • study the usage logs (what kind of errors have the students made?)
    • which algoritms could give more feedback to the user, instead of just right/wrong
  • how to choose the words based on the user's progress
