Making audio cues for model imitation/question-response oral exams with Sanako Study 1200

We can easily record and post-process audio files in the LRC for use with the Sanako Study 1200 oral exam activities.

This can work not only  for outcome exams (course- or chapter-wise), but also or formative assessment:

Think converting your textbook-based “drills” into Sanako, like repetitively recapitulating the newly acquired vocabulary item “donut” with different cues:

Example: “What can you do with [student can enter her favorite new vocabulary item for the current class] on [teacher can ask for one social web service after the other that her students likely are familiar with]?”. In response, student has to practice vocabularry item by forming sentences that fit the vocabulary item that fit like in the whiteboard example.

We can add to these recordings the features explained in the slide below.

I’d be happy to play you examples from this slide – and more – in the LRC (not to be published here so that the exam files can be reused).

Just trying to make the basic troubleshooting information more accessible from the field:

Useful debugging tools for setting up your first DkPro project in Eclipse

  1. For easier debugging, you can
  2. show the Maven console: image_thumb27
  3. include both info and errors in the output:
  4. image_thumb30
    1. have a look at background processes: image_thumb32
        1. consult the “marker” view image_thumb[8]
  5. check the Eclipse .log in your Project/metadata-directory: image_thumb[2]

Comparison of NLP Platforms

Not really a comparison, only a notebook compiled from online sources. Not really fit for publication either, unless “sharing is caring”. You can view a larger version here.
