I’m a language teacher using iBooks on iPads for classes. I’ve done a lot of animations but now I’m wondering how far student input can change things in their books.
I’ve been studying and trying things out but can’t get there - I know the solution will probably be Javascript and JQuery, but don’t know how to do it.
So I’d really appreciate any help with setting up the following as it I think it would give a framework for a load of other things:
- Student types name into a textArea, “Hi [name]” appears on the screen (part of the screen design rather than an alert).
- The name is saved in localStorage so when they open the book again later, the personalised message is still there. (I have the javascript for recalling input into a textArea).
- Another widget on a different page accesses the same data e.g. “Hi [name], in this task…”
Am I overestimating the potential of this set? I’m thinking that it might be possible with some work for a ‘Preferences’ widget to set the font and colour of all other widgets, or completion of one widget opening new parts in another, or Badges being awarded within books.
And if this is cloud-cuckoo stuff, please let me know! I really appreciate any help or hints with any of the steps.
Cheers,
Allie.
