Exercises provide a student with activities to test his knowledge and to memorize the material better. They are built on top of other materials, like `richMedia` and `fileCard`.

You can customize different exercise parameters yourself and get:
* listen to the audio, and write what you have heard
* read the text and choose the correct translation
* look at the image and reorder words
* e.t.c. -- all possible combinations of those kinds of exercises.

The app gives to user feedback after each exercise: was his answer right or wrong.

## Options

You can build any type of exercise by mixing different cells from option tables below.

<table style="float:left; width:45%">
<tbody>
<tr >
<th colspan="2">What is given to a student?</th>
</tr>
<tr >
<th>Type</th>
<th>Language</th>
</tr>
<tr >
<td style="background:skyblue">audio</td>
<td></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td rowspan="2">text</td>
<td >original</td>
</tr>
<tr >
<td >translation</td>
</tr>
<tr >
<td rowspan="2">image</td>
&nbsp; </tr>
<tr >
<td >&nbsp;</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>

<table style="float: left; width: 55%; ">

## Example

## Training [exercise | 001/001]

image, text-original --> text-translation choose-from-4 10
audio --> text-original choose-from-4 10
audio, text-original --> image choose-from-4 10
text-translation --> text-original write 50%

This code will display to user 4 sets of exercises, based on material of `chapter-001/subchapter-001`:

| <small>image, text-original --> text-translation choose-from-4</small> | <small>audio --> text-original choose-from-4</small> |
| -------- | -------- |
| | |

| <small>audio, text-original --> image choose-from-4</small> | <small>text-translation --> text-original write</small> |
| -------- | -------- |
| | |

## In markdown

`## Training [exercise | 001/001]`

After material type `exercise` you should point to the source material `chapterId/subchapterId`, on that we will train. If you didn't specify it, by default it is previous material.

For each set of exercises, you should write a string:
`given --> required activity count`

given and required
: comma-separated fields from table 1. Any combination of:
* audio
* text-original
* text-translation
* image

activity
: one of
* write
* choose-from-N
* order

count
: integer number or percentage.

## Planned (for next versions)

Tolerance for user input: don't consider diacritics, case (lower or upper), stress sign, etc...

Module system for custom tolerance rules (extensible for any language).
