Hey Translators,

Your server has now been updated with the latest labels as of today.

We have added only a few new labels this week in Monitor mainly. These are so teachers can view how the conditions (or groups) are assigned to the branches. You can test this by clicking on a Branching activity in Monitor and then right-click on it and select the option to "View Conditions to Branches".

We have also developed a new Task List tool that will be included in LAMS 2.1! This new Task tool allows the teacher to set a number of task that he/she wants the students to do. You can think of it as a checklist for the students.

It has some cool advanced features, such as the tasks can have hierarchies so future tasks are not displayed until the previous (parent) one is done. Also the teacher can specify required tasks that the student must do to continue with the rest of the sequence.

But the most important is that this tool can also be used in branching, so the teacher can set write "conditions for branching" ie: "if the student did task 2 and 3, then send him to X branch... if he's done 1 and 3, then send him to Y Branch".

You can have a look at the requirements for the Task List tool.

We will add the Talk List tool to the translators site so you can have a play with this tool as well and -of course, we'll add the labels to be translated so you can use it in LAMS 2.1 in your own language.

Remember that next Friday, we'll update your translations again.... so until then, you guys have all a good weekend!

Thanks,

Ernie
