Describe the solution from the perspective of e-<strong>CAL</strong><br />
The use of resources requires the creation of a login. There are several exercises available in DE,<br />
FR, IT, ES, EN <strong>et</strong>c. More can be created by everybody. After selecting a video the user can choose to<br />
take the role of one of the characters. An associated action will be performed. This action varies<br />
depending on the exercise type . After selecting the <strong>des</strong>ired role, the video will run until the time<br />
for that character to speak, at which point, Babelium will record the user’s voice (and, if wanted<br />
to, an image from their webcam). The user has a limited time-frame to respond, exactly the same<br />
amount of time taken by the role of their chosen character in the original video.<br />
When the user compl<strong>et</strong>es the recording (dubbing of the conversation, expressing an opinion or<br />
repeating what they have heard) they can review their work before publishing it. When the user likes<br />
the recording, he or she can publish it to the server. In this way the result will be available for<br />
evaluation by other users.<br />
This evaluation is done collaboratively, e.g. if the recording was done in French, other users with a high<br />
level of proficiency in French will have the chance to judge the performance.<br />
Following exercise types are available: Free context, Error d<strong>et</strong>ection, Rep<strong>et</strong>ition, Comprehension,<br />
Translation, Storytelling and reading.<br />
