Shortcode Ideas for Vocabulary Learning

Hi !

First I wanted to thank you very much for this nice plugin 😛

I just try it an a english language lesson website, and I really like the widget wich can be used as a Vocabulary List to remind after the course 🙂 The idea is to have some texte, and some highlighted “new” terms that the student have to remind.

But it missed one single feature to be used as this.

The default behaviour is to have all the post treated by the plugin.
But in a vocabulary learning usage, when we see a word on a lesson, usually don’t have to see it again on the next.
Else, we would started with a 5 words to learn in lesson one, and end with 30 in lesson 10.

The disered behaviour is the following : to have a shortcode to place on the top of the post to say “we want these keywords, no the other”.
This will allow to re-use some keywords in further lesson if needed, but not all of them.

What do you think of that ?

Thanks for listening 🙂

Hi X-Raym
i’m glade you appreciate my plugin 🙂
i see what you mean and I think it will be better to make it by using MetaBoxes :
you have to uncheck the undesired Keyword in order to exclude it from the words matched for the concerned post
what do you think ?

Ihave to admit there is a any hear.
But I think there would be a LOT a keaywords (it is for secondary school students, so there is a LOT of words in 4 years of learning :P).
So display a list will be not very mangeable.

BUT, a widget in the editor with ajax filter can be very nice !
Imagine : you just have to type the first letter of the keyword and it appears and you can click it to add it to the list.

Basicly just as tags widget 🙂

It would be even easier that shortcodes ! 😀

I think you did not get it :
MetaBoxes are a such widgets but in the admin post edit page like this one : ( http://www.blueskills.net/wp-content/gallery/ktg-features/betabox-post-keywords.png )
I will make it so you can release what I mean

Yes that was I thought,
But you propose checkboxes, just as the category widget (here)

I just suggest that this metabox for keywords acts like the tags metaboxes : you start writting the name of of the keywords and a list of your actual keywords with the letters you just wrote appear, letting the user choose the keywords he needs for the article.
Here is a screenshot of the tag metabox and category metabox.

but perhaps I didn’t explain it very well 😛

Your actual metabox acts within a substractive concept : all the keywords are handle for all article minus the one that are listed.
I propose an addidive behaviour : no keywords are interpreted except the one that are choosen.
This last will mare more sense for vocabulary management, because we just need 10 words in a list of 300 per article 🙂

Thank you again for listening to my proposition 🙂

EDIT : in order to explain my needs more clearly, I will describe the situation.
As I said, I’m running a website to learn english.
There is some article, with new words to learn. This is were your plugin could be perfect : tooltips and widgets perfect.
But then go the next article : the previously words should be know and we must highlight just the new words.
The thing is that we can have one hundred of article, with 10 keywords each, for each of the 4 levels of student. A subtractive behavior will take a alot of time, and this is why I suggest you an additive one : just choose (via metaboxes, it’s perfect) the keywords to be display, per article 🙂

You are fast !
That’s a pretty good start and I’m sure it can help some people out there 😛
I hope the substrative method I described will not take you too much time 😛

Thanks !

Hi Jamel,

Any news from this ? 🙂

I follow your updates carefully, and they are all great, but it is still the only thing I miss in order to put it on my e-learning website 😛

Cheers !

Hi

thank you dear Raym

the 2.1.4 version have been uploaded with some new optimizations.
please notice me when you launch your e-learning site, I’m excited seeing the KTTG plugin make sense for users 🙂

Hi again !
Actually my website is already online, but as I said, I can’t really effectively use your plugin on it since there is no “additive keywords selection methods” avaible (currently, we choose keywords to exclude, not keywords to add) 😛
(I described the whole thing few posts ago)

But I understand that what I’m asking is pretty hard, and you surely have more high level priority things to do 😛
