CREATING EDUCATIONAL CONTAINS EASILY

Either you are a teacher, student's parent or a student yourself, create your own educational contains with Escritor.
There's no need to program to create contains with Escritor ! All that you need is to write on the virtual page and to speak in the microphone in order to make everthing automatically recorded. Placing images, sounds, videos, sound effects, or musical motifs is as easy. Look.
Before starting, check that the graphic tablet and microphone are properly connected and working !

Run the Escritor (Creation) module.

Answer "NO" to all the questions and let's go !

Just write the page name that you want to create (here : "pge01"), and validate.

Choose the "Cohabitation" mode (by default, anyway), and validate.

There you are on Escritor. You are free to do anything you please.

Let's take the example of a mathematical calculation (bad example, you might think that Escritor is a set of programs intended to this discipline...).

Load a background image, representing half a large squared page above a dark part. To do this, click on the button, and choose the image "Haut.jpg" (there are plenty of pages with Escritor, not only one's with large squares !) :

Then click on the loaded image in order to paste it on the screen background.

Handwrite (graphic tablet) your terms on the squared sheet, punctuating them with oral sentences to make them more "attractive". Recording your voice is simple : click on the

button and the recording begins. Click again on the same button and the recording stops. It is a kind of tape recorder that you can call on at any time.

When your terms are finished , click on

to switch to the correction mode. For Escritor, this the signal indicating that the student has to answer to your questions by handwriting. The correction that you are going to compose will be displayed when he clicks on the correction button (this button will automatically appear when the time comes).

Click on the button in order to load the half squared sheet to place at the bottom of the screen (on the dark part). Choose the image "Bas.jpg".

Place the image on the dark part, and click to paste it. You get :

Compose your "typical correction" with the graphic tablet stylus, punctuating your work with oral sentences recorded by the

button. You can load images different from the proposed background images (like this yellow leaf, for example). Of course, you can load your own images too !

Voilà. That's it ! All that you have to do is to click on

to indicate to Escritor that you have finished the composition of the exercise correction.

Click on the button, and your work is saved. Escritor even offers to visualize it.

If you want, you can add new questions to the exercise later. Use the Escritor (Touch-up) module to touch-up the sounds, images positions, anything you want. Anything can be "touched-up", in case you should commit errors. The student will use the Escritor (Runtime) module to work on your exercise. It's that simple ! A special text processing package is provided, in order to transform a typed text to an image to be pasted on the virtual page !! An image processing package is provided to enlarge or shrink the size of your images in just one click !!! In short, Escritor has the ability to let you compose works more complicated than this simple example... You can download the tutorial to know more about this.

CONCLUSION :

Escritor is not a set of programs aimed at mathematics, despite the chosen example.
In fact, it is suitable for any subject requiring the use of a pen.
It is particularly suitable when questions require a minimum of drafting from the student, even if it functions with "holy sentences" or other technical exercises that one can traditionnally find in the world of computer assisted training.
