Cwil Workshop2015

General

1. navigation on left needs to move up: Ryan
2. Rename modules? Leksa, Morfa, etc. are opaque for nêhiyawêtân.
3. we may need a similar tool to `fab` for i.e., Megan to update databases with new words: Ryan
4. keybord with long vowels on the top
5. audio part is essential (more audio? maskwacîs recordings)
   1. audio -> text exercises
   2. some people don't associate written form immediately, but may immediately capture the word from sound
   3. instructors often have taped/recorded material
6. courses module?

orthography discussion

1. SRO preference over syllabics in teaching: SRO preserves obviousness of morphology-- but morphological awareness is not necessarily crucial to initial learning (more necessary for specialists/linguists or adults, not kids).
2. Need to pick one, though

Numra

1. numra date, add a note about english -> cree, vs. 'numerals' to 'words': Ryan
2. spellrelax discussion
3. numerals FST needs to be updated - native studies orthography is slightly different from normative FST orthography, show answer: correct spelling suggestions returns incorrect suggestions : Fixed, but it should be proofread

Morfa-S

morph hints:

1. nouns locative - currently just gives full answer
2. nouns plural -w- hint: -k- may be ambiguous. also position of hyphens made it unclear: Fixed
3. canonical words in the tips? "this word is like atim"

more tasks:

1. future
2. wi-
3. conjunct (choices)
4. imperative (imm/del)
5. II verbs
6. ? n-pl exercises should go both ways: pl->sg, sg->pl?
7. -pon - deceased

fixes:

1. kinâtikonaw - needs pe
2. New object for this: kocihtâw mitawewey (game) job - try an activity
3. AI-TI: now including TA, it should not: Ryan

Diminuative:

1. may be valuable to go both directions, even if diminuative is less predictable; or maybe mixed: user gets diminuative or plain, is asked to give the opposite

This word has two animacy, to be excluded: Lene

crk$ ucrk
kistikan
kistikan	kistikân+N+IN+Sg 
kistikan	kistikân+N+AN+Sg

Locative and Distributive words:

1. probably best to separate these, because there are more changes involved from the locative. Needs a tag. Atticus

Morfa-C:

1. definition hints are missing: Ryan
2. All words in the task should be clickable for translation, not only the task word: Ryan
3. translation: check Pl vs. Sg in some examples: : Fixed
4. all possible translation permutations of question/answer types would be great, not just english text to cree text, but maybe diagrams/pictures to cree text.
5. the English text, which is for translation, should be different from Cree (in colour? italic?) Ryan
6. wordorder: Loc + verb + noun: Fixed
7. agreement verb and subj: : Fixed
8. walk conjunctive for getting the goal: Lene
9. don't need "isi": Lene
10. question~answer agreement for inclusive exclusive in Plains Cree: Ryan

  we incl -> we incl
  you all -> we excl (different!)

1. bug: one missing length mark allowed, many not: Ryan
2. KIN for Poss, look at that: Fixed
3. count fingers (plural): Fixed
4. goal: astâw needs a goal also, put a hat somewhere: : Lene
5. MorfaC: questionmarks should be added: Fixed
