More hints and variation!
03 Nov 2016 14:00
We have updated the generation of exercises for Finnish and Estonian, such that there would be even more variation in them. For instance, some very useful adverbs, particularly for expressing time and space, can now be found in gaps.
Additionally, a hint in a gap can also be a prefix of the missing word, not just the base form. This makes it possible that also ambiguous word forms for which there are several alternatives for a base form can be selected as gap words. In some cases, the hint is simply the first two letters of the word.

Major update to Tibidiscis!
28 Apr 2016 15:00
We have made a major update to Tibidiscis! The text analysis framework has been extended such that a larger variety of hints can be provided for missing words. A hint can be, for instance, the base form of the word, or some part of the word.
If there is no hint in a gap, the missing word is very frequent or no useful hint can be found. The word can also be so ambiguous that we cannot reliably provide a base form. An empty hint can also be one option among others: sometimes, a base form or part of the word is given as a hint, sometimes, no hint at all. This way, even after many repeats, the exercises look new and fresh.
