Pre Alpha Release of "Iter"?

Well, we've made a lot of additions to the site, most notably the preview of "Iter", which we intend to be a platform for Classical language acquisition, starting with Latin. I've been doing all of the development in isolation, so some feedback about what works or doesn't or what could be improved would be appreciated. On our radar currently are:

  • Adjusting feedback: maybe we don't say what the correct answer is? At the very least, image grid prompts provide useless incorrect feedback
  • Audio for transcription-style prompts should play automatically
  • Tooltips should appear in the initial stage, educating the user about the interface
  • Images should maybe be smaller so they load faster?
  • Don't automatically redirect to vocabulary upon login; maybe redirect from the link initially selected
  • linguistic / grammatical achievements that are tracked / monitored as progress is made, with the intention of providing texts that would be accessible for the various levels of proficiency

More far out are:

  • user dashboard
  • badges / points earned for achievements
  • stories
  • speech to text? (may need to be developed de novo)

For the vocabulary side of things:

  • linking to specific sources
  • ability to select which parts of speech to review specifically

Anyway, this can all be found under "Experimental" once you've logged into the site (either with a genuine user name or as a guest).
