Exercise mode
The main exercise page can be found here: http://exercises.unilang.org/
If you want to create a link or jump directly to a certain exercise you can just add the number of the exercise to the above address, e.g.
http://exercises.unilang.org/20 takes you to exercise number 20.
The exercise mode works as follows:
Enter your answer into the first field and press the TAB key (the key on the left side of the keyboard, above the shift lock key). If your answer is correct the word will be underlined with a green line, and the focus jumps to the next input field. If it is incorrect a red line appears and and incorrect letters will be marked with a "*", correct letters will stay. Keep correcting until you get the right word, or, to get a hint or the answer without typing anything, click with the mouse on the base form which is next to the input field. When a hint is available, the clue field embraced by [ ] will have a blue text.
If you prefer not to use the mouse you can move forward and backwards between the gaps by using the TAB key for going forward and by pressing SHIFT+TAB for jumping backwards.
Adding new exercises
It is also possible to add new exercises yourself: http://exercises.unilang.org/new/
There is also a preview function to show you what the exercise will look like, so you check if you used the correct syntax. And it is possible to edit existing exercises.
To submit an exercise you will need to log in before submitting the exercise. You can do this by clicking the Log in icon on the UniLang website banner.
It is possible to have several gaps per line.
Exercise syntax
The easiest way of making an exercise is using just an answer and a base form, e.g.
This [is/to be] nice.
This will appear as
This _____ [to be] nice.
Is is also possible to specify several correct answers, by separating them with a "|". The "*"-mechanism will only work for the first specified answer, however. Example:
This [is|was/to be] nice.
You can also create one or more hints, which you add with another "/", and additional hints being separated with a "|". For example:
This [is/to be/The answer has two letters|It starts with i] nice.
and then it will be displayed as:
This _____ [to be] nice.
Requesting new exercises
You can request new exercises here: Exercise request page Hopefully a UniLanger will see your request and make an exercise.
