Christophe DemkoThis activity module allows the creation of exercises for learning foreign languages. An exercise is mainly composed of 2 files: a video file and a subtitles file. The subtitles file use either the .srt or .vtt syntax. In this file, text between square/curly brackets have to be guessed by the student (square brackets will propose an help button to the student).
For testing: install the module and use video files here http://framatube.org/media/presentation-des-licences-creative-commons-avec-cc (mp4 for Safari and Internet Explorer, webm or ogv or mp4 for Google Chrome and webm and ogv for Firefox) (See http://creativecommons.org/videos/creative-commons-kiwi for attributions) and this file http://download.chdemko.com/moodle/mod_elang/Creative_Commons_Kiwi-guess.fr.srt for the subtitles.
Unfortunately, only Google Chrome >= 31, Firefox >= 35, Internet Explorer >= 10 and Safari >= 7.1 browsers support the HTML5 features used in this module.
A demo site is available here.

Thanks for sharing this
I was able to install this with no problems, when it came to trying to use it i was stumped. I think this needs some documentation. (The activity chooser in 2.5 also allows for some description)
Do consider adding some description here as well or even any video links.
I tried to install on a 2.6 platform, and it's ok. But when I try to add an activity, one problem that stopped me is the dropdown list of language is blank then I couldn't go on to add the activity.
Are there some sample subtitle files we can see to get an idea on how to build our own?
