• Copy/Paste the following lines of code. make sure to preserve the blank space between them (that's where you will insert the word list from the original file, but after some tagging)

{"name":"NAME","type":"Vocabulary","stack_source":[{"__component":"stack.vocabulary","vocabulary_item":[

]}]}

• Copy the name of the file and paste it where it says NAME in the above lines of code.

  • one column between the Source and Target column and paste ","target":" in all the rows

  • one column after the Target column and paste "},  in all the rows. (IMPORTANT NOTE: DELETE THE COMMA , FROM THE LAST ROW).

• delete the table titles. 

The rest of the steps are identical for all stacks. See the "Uploading the Prepared Stacks Into the System" at the bottom of the page.

NOTE: The new Pairs stack allows storing multiple TARGET values. This is useful for cases in which more than one answer is possible (like in translation drills).

• delete the table titles. 

The rest of the steps are identical for all stacks. See the "Uploading the Prepared Stacks Into the System" at the bottom of the page.

NOTE: in this stack, every question has many potential answers, some of which are correct and others are incorrect. this affects the preparations. 

• Open a plain text document

• Copy/Paste the following lines of code. make sure to preserve the blank space between them (that's where you will insert the word list from the original file, but after some tagging)

{"name":"NAME","type":"Multi Choice","stack_source":[{"__component":"stack.multi-choice","multi_choice_item":[

  • one column before the Source column, and paste {"source":"  in all the rows

  • one column before the first Target (or Answer) column and paste ","choices":[{"value":"  in all the rows

  • one column after the first target (or answer) column. NOTE: This column is used for marking correct/incorrect the content of the previous column. Since the target columns can contain correct/incorrect answers, you should check each row and mark this column for the answers in the previous column per row as follows:

    1. if any row in the previous column contains a correct answer, paste ","correct":true},{"value":"  in the corresponding row

    2. if any row in the previous column contains an incorrect answer, paste ","correct":false},{"value":"  in the corresponding row

       • NOTE: the code strings in the above two last rows contain the code that should go before the next Target (or answer) column. So REPEAT the last step above, marking the content of each column (after adding new columns as needed) as correct/incorrect till you reach the last column.

  • mark the column that comes after the last Target column as follows:

  • if the content of the last column is correct, paste  ","correct":true}]},  in all the corresponding rows. (IMPORTANT NOTE: DELETE THE COMMA , FROM THE LAST ROW).

  • if the content of the last column is not correct, paste  ","correct":false}]},  in all the corresponding rows. (IMPORTANT NOTE: DELETE THE COMMA , FROM THE LAST ROW).

  • Delete all asterisks * from all columns.

  • IMPORTANT: If there are any blank fields in any of the "Target" columns, the fields before them (the fields containing the code string) must be deleted. 

• delete the table titles. 

The rest of the steps are identical for all stacks. See the "Uploading the Prepared Stacks Into the System" at the bottom of the page.

NOTE: this type of stack can contain sentences with one or more blanks, and this affects the preparations. First, we'll present the preparation of a sentence with a single blank space and later, we'll present the addition for sentences with more than one blank space.

• Open a plain text document

• Copy/Paste the following lines of code. make sure to preserve the blank space between them (that's where you will insert the word list from the original file, but after some tagging)

  • one column before each additional Wrong column (if there is any) and paste "},{"wrong_choice":" in all rows

  • in the last column, paste "}]}]}, after every row. (IMPORTANT NOTE: DELETE THE COMMA , FROM THE LAST ROW).

Note: Some sentences may contain 2 or more blanks. If the stack contains such sentences, the following must be carried out for them (and not for the sentences with ONE blank):

• • • Delay the last step above till you execute the following for every trio of Placeholder-Correct-Wrong Choice:

    • before each Placeholder column add a new column and paste "}]},{"placeholder":" in each row.

    • before each Correct column add a new column and paste  ","correct":" in each row.

    • before the FIRST Wrong column, add a column and paste ","wrong_choice":[{"wrong_choice":" in each row.

    • before each additional Wrong Options column add a new column and paste "},{"wrong_choice":" in each row.

    • in the last column, paste "}]}]}, after every row. (IMPORTANT NOTE: DELETE THE COMMA , FROM THE LAST ROW).

  • IMPORTANT: If there are any blank fields in any of the "Placeholder", "Correct " and "Wrong Choice" columns, the fields before them (the fields containing the code string) must be deleted. 

• delete the table titles.

The rest of the steps are identical for all stacks. See the "Uploading the Prepared Stacks Into the System" at the bottom of the page.

Note: This stack contains exercises which are consist of one sentence, one or more pairs of word sets to be matched (called "Container" and "Item"), some dummy Containers and some dummy Items (dummy containers/items are the ones which the student mustn't cross match)

Note: this stack has a new field called "Directions" which is meant for giving directions specific to the question.
