Arabic Lesson Builder Software


We are starting the design phase of Arabic Lesson Builder, a  
computerized Arabic language teaching tool, and we would appreciate  
your comments and suggestions regarding the features that we intend  
to include.


  Arabic Lesson Builder is a new, Internet-based software that will  
offer significant benefits to Arabic teachers and students. The  
foundation of this software can be seen at www.readverse.com/ 
Arabic_Abacus.html.

This Arabic Abacus will be expanded into a full, text editor lesson  
builder, and will have the same functionality as “Note Pad”.  It will  
assist teachers in typing lessons with Tashkeel in Arabic. Students  
then can take a lesson and type their answers on the Internet without  
the need of installing any additional software on their machines.

Arabic Lesson Builder will include these functions:
·      the complete contents of  a lesson

·      A list of questions (multiple choices, fill in, true of false  
and other features)

·      The expected correct answers

·      Lesson Builder will compare the student’s answer against the  
expected answers that the teacher previously typed.

·      It can send the grade to a teacher only, or to student and  
teacher, or to other recipients.

·      Lesson Builder will keep track of all of the lessons that one  
student took with date, time, and grades.

·      The software will keep track of all of the lessons that one  
teacher created with date, and time.

·      A teacher will be able to copy an Arabic text and paste it in  
the Lesson Builder panel. (Providing that the character sets are  
compatible)

·      A teacher will be able to copy an existing lesson and create a  
new one.



Your suggestions and comments will be greatly appreciated.  Please  
send them to melsayess at socal.rr.com

Thank you.
