Many activities can be expressed as a very simple sequence of questions or items. Here we call them items.
Items can take any form: single word, line of text. image, audio, video. We will describe later how these different types of material need to be defined.
For your ease of use, we let you edit the exercise in a word document that you can easily amend rather than a form on the web that would be tedious to fill and even more tedious to annotate. However, to minimise the load this puts on us, we need to ask you to carefully follow some conventions to define your material. We have made these as lightweight and as easy to use as we possibly could. We simply require you to add a little tag at the start of a line. A limited number of such tags have been created.
One such tag, for instance is the [i] tag where "i" stands for items. In its simplest form, an activity is made as a sequence of items. In this document, we ask you to write this way:
[i] milk
[i] bread
[i] slice
Spacing doesn’t matter. You can add empty lines, tabs and white space as you consider convenient. If you find it more legible, you can also use the full or abbreviated form of any tag. ‡For instance, [i] could be written as [i], [item] or even [item 1]. In short, what matters is to have an opering bracket, a letter (here i) and a closing bracket. Any character and in any number can come between the first letter and the closing bracket.
