This 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 Christophe! I tried installing it on my 3.0 site and it wouldn't even let me complete the upgrade, there were issues.

Plugin "mod_elang" is defective or outdated, can not continue, sorry.

More information about this error
Debug info: Unsupported $module syntax detected in version.php
Error code: detectedbrokenplugin

If you have any quick fix ideas, i would love to implement this asap. I love this plugin but unfortunately have to use a 3.0 version of moodle.

Thank you so much for this update! I installed and it works great. How can I set up the video file to just play through with the captions on the side? Right now it pauses after every line?

Simply unselect the current caption by clicking on it and play the video

Hi, I have just installed the module, and uploaded an MP4 video. However, when I'm trying to upload the an .srt file (with square brackets around the words I want the students to guess), it says that the subtitle file format is invalid. This is an .srt file that I downloaded from the internet (of a youtube video) and just made a few amendments (plus added the square brackets). What am I doing wrong? I edited the file in Text Edit on Mac and then just hit Save (I'm assuming it saves it in the same format?)

Ps: I'm completely new to this...

Hi Lydia, did you save your srt file in utf-8 format?

Hi Christophe, thanks for your swift response. I've now also switched to a PC and using PSPad to edit the downloaded .st file. I choose UTF-8 from Format, then All files, hit Save and when I attempt to upload I get the same message. Does it matter that the video clip is 2:38 and the subtitles go up to 2.36 only? What else do you think I could be doing wrong?

Still can't install in 3.1.2. Tried downloading and installing via upload, choosing Mod folder. Same error as above:

Hello. When I add the subtitlle, which is in srt in UTF-8 format, I always get an error message saying "Invalid subtitle file format". I saw Lydia asking the same thing, but I dont know if she has solved the problem. Does anyone could help me on that? Thanks
