RB Editor
(ReadingBug Editor)

Introduction:
This program is designed to edit the configuration files needed by the
ReadingBug program. The editor is not yet complete and the
documentation may not match the program.
Configuration Design:
There are three levels to the configuration files; Class, Workbook,
Exercise. The Class file will contain a list of students and the
workbooks they are to work on. The Workbook contains a list of
exercise. The Exercises will be defined latter when the editor
becomes available.
Class:
The class is the list of students that will be using the program.
Future versions of the program will have class selection on start up.

Exercise:
Currently there are only a few exercise types. In the future
there will be many more. Each exercise will come as a pair, the
exercise and the review. A record will be kept each time the
student starts an exercise or review. Each exercise can consist
of images, text, and sounds. The format of the data will be of an
open format so any one can create or modify an exercise for their usage.
- Select: This will display a number of words or pictures and ask
the student to find one in the selection.
- Show Select: This will show either a word or picture and state
what it is.
- Spell: The student will be required to type out the stated word
correctly.
- Show Spell: A word will be spelled out graphicly and verbally
- Math: An addition or subtraction problem will be displayed and
verbally stated and the student is required to type in the correct
number.
- Show Math: Verbally and graphicly an addition or subtraction
problem is displayed and the answer is given.
- Name Section: This exercise will display a graphic with multiple
text entry points. Each entry point will require the student to
type in the proper name representing the given area. An example
would be a map of the United States and there would be entry points for
each state. The student would type in the correct spelling for
the state in the correct location.
- Show Name Section: Each section will be highlighted and the
correct answer will be displayed.
