Two new image-based activities are now available in <\/em>CL-150 Lesson Authoring<\/em><\/a> and upcoming CL-150 lessons.<\/em><\/p>\n

To help learners more vividly visualize language and explore culture, we\u2019ve added two new interactive image activities to the CL-150 Platform: Image Explorer \u2013 Preview It <\/em>and Image Explorer \u2013 Locate It<\/em>.<\/strong> Both activities work with flat images and 360-degree images, so your learners can explore a real-world environment from their phone, tablet, computer, or be even more fully immersed in a VR headset.<\/p>\n

Image Explorer \u2013 Preview It<\/h2>\n

If you\u2019ve completed any number of lessons in the CL-150 Platform, you\u2019ve almost certainly run in to the Preview It<\/em> activity, in which you click through a series of vocab items presented in the known and learning language.<\/p>\n

Image Explorer \u2013 Preview It<\/em> builds upon that premise, strategically placing labels on an image of the lesson author\u2019s choosing. In the example below, learners explore a floating market in Vietnam, where they can click on labels to read and hear the word or phrase for the corresponding object.<\/p>\n

\"CL-150<\/p>\n

Labels can be used to preview vocabulary or to point out relevant cultural, historical, or other notes, as in the example below that gives some context to the floating market image. These general information labels can be written in English or the target language.<\/p>\n

\"CL-150<\/p>\n

Lesson authors can place as many labels on an image as they wish and can link multiple images together so learners can explore a full environment, such as different rooms in a building or several streets in the same city. The activity supports both flat images and 360-degree images, which learners can explore both on their computers and phones or in a VR headset.<\/p>\n

Image Explorer \u2013 Locate It<\/h2>\n

Image Explorer \u2013 Locate It <\/em>builds on the previous activity, taking all of the vocab-based labels and asking learners to click on the corresponding label to a given word or phrase. In the example below, a learner is shown the target language term “thuy\u1ec1n ba v\u00e1n” and has correctly identified the corresponding label on the image.<\/p>\n

No double duty for lesson authors here\u2014all vocab labels configured in Image Explorer \u2013 Preview It <\/em>will automatically display in this activity, so while you can choose to further edit the labels, you won\u2019t have to duplicate your efforts.<\/p>\n

\"CL-150<\/p>\n

You can expect to see these image activities appearing in some of our upcoming lessons, including CL-150 Cohort lessons in the coming weeks, but both activities, along with the brand new Transcribe It activity,<\/a> are already available for use in your custom lessons created with the CL-150 Lesson Authoring tool! Watch this quick tutorial video<\/a> to get started.<\/p>\n
