Reward-net - Activities

The layout of the screen pages of the language material is very close to the book pages in design. Each operation on a screen page is as intuitive as it might be in a normal book. The course is easy to use and contains many different activity types. The list below presents examples of some of the activity types you might find in the course. On finishing an activity, the user can check their answers. The Activity Results box shows clearly the numbers of correct and incorrect answers, as well as allowing the user to clear their answers, see only errors or even see the solution.

Vocabulary section		Vocabulary section Each lesson contains one or more Vocabulary sections which group all new vocabulary for that lesson. In localised versions, a translation of each word appears when the user places the cursor over the selected word. To listen to a word’s recording, click on this word.
Grammar section		Grammar section Each lesson contains one or more Grammar sections which give a short explanation of all the grammar rules introduced in that lesson. Each Grammar Section contains sample sentences as well as a recording of each sentence. To hear the recording, simply click on the sentence. In localised versions, a translation of the explanation is available.
Gap fill		Gap fill Users type in the missing text by placing the cursor at the beginning of each gap. Users can edit the missing text as required.

This is done by clicking on an incorrect word to cross it out, then inserting new text by typing it in. Any changes can be corrected by clearing the activity and starting again.

The user can also send writing activities via e-mail to a selected teacher for checking. See Internet Services chapter for more information.
Discussion activity		Discussion activity In some activities the program encourages students to discuss a topic presented in the material and share their opinions with other students. This type of user activity is possible through the Forum Service on the Internet network. Students meet virtually on the net and discuss topics suggested by the material in the text or the voice mode. It is also possible to post your opinions to special discussion forums similar to the Internet News Group.
