Hello!
I’m working at an e-learning project for kinder gardens. The application
has 2 parts: one for the teacher, in which he/she prepares lessons (the
main point is that little kids learn fast, so the teacher must be ready to give
them something new every time!) and one for the kids, in which they get to
work with the created lessons (this part has to be very stable, as it’s
mostly about drag’n’drop and little kids don’t really have boundaries in their
actions!).
The teacher prepares the lesson this way: he/she chooses firstly the
background image, e.g. a picture with a sky, some trees and a lake. Then he/she
selects some objects, such as a bird, a sun, a fish, etc. These objects are
addressed directly to the kids: they will have to match them where they belong!
(with drag’n’drop). For instance, the object “sun” can only be dragged where
the sky is (otherwise the drag’n’drop action doesn’t complete), the object
“bird” can only be placed in the sky or in the tree (if it is placed upon the
water, that is wrong).
I thought that the teacher simulates in a way the role of an administrator
for the application, better said for the lessons he creates! Therefore, he/she
has to be able to upload the background image, to determine its various regions
(sky, lake and tree in the example above) ant then to upload the various
objects he/she finds suited for the matching he/she has in mind for that
particular lesson – these objects will be the ones dragged and, if correct,
also dropped upon the various regions already determined, in the background
image.
When starting the lesson, the kids will see the background image and next
to it a panel with all the objects. They will then have to match them all
correctly by drag’n’drop.
Here are my questions:
1) How can I determine the various regions of the background picture and then
save them each under certain names?
2) Then, after also uploading the objects, how can I link them to specific
regions (something like rules to be followed later by the kids)? (e.g.: for the
sky region only the “sun” and the “bird” objects are allowed, but not the
“fish”, nor the “flower” objects are!)
3) How can I save an unfinished lesson, so that the teacher will complete
it later, opening it in the workspace?
Thanks a lot!
I hope my questions raised you interest and curiosity and challenged you to
help me with your answers!
