Course migration progress

neoncube This user seems to be a Memrise staff.

This user seems to manage some of the unlisted official courses. For example

https://app.memrise.com/community/course/1325838/arabic-2/

(Maybe there are other users like this.)

Thanks, 7shi! Let me keep on eye on the Decks user, in particular 🙂

Good morning @[deleted],

once they are, they should automatically show up in your dashboard,

That's a new feature - brilliant - fantastic idea.

Incidentally I looked at the *100 course and you offer three options for testing whereas I had four (ie two plus reversed).

Location vs Name of image (eg Great Wall)
Name of image vs Photo

Then reversed.

Also possible Name vs Location and reversed.

(I have an image but the image button says Link! - PS but drag and drop worked.

DW7 I think this is because I haven't yet added support for use images as an answer. Once I do, that testing mode should automatically be available 🙂

neoncube

Just finished uploaded courses for European Portuguese and Persian (Farsi), at the request of two Reddit users 🙂

neoncube

I've improved the upload script and uploaded another 2,627 non-language courses 🙂

@[deleted] This means that most (but perhaps not all) of your Christianity-related courses should now be available! 🙂 I'm not sure I'd go searching for them, though; I should be able to automatically assign them to your account, although it might take me a day or two 🙂

DW7

Thanks @[deleted] - I can see loads of the Bible courses I've created but they aren't on my Dashboard.

I have looked at a few and I don't have editing rights to them.

Searching for DW7 says there are none - although that is in the description.

Do you have enough information to assign them or do you have a way for searching for DW7 in the description?

Please also remember the

"This » one « should be under Literature".

DW7

I've also looked at Birds (under animals) but my two courses are not there.

My two butterfly courses are unloaded - thanks, and I have editing rights, but they are not on my Dashboard (automatically) - but if I start them, then they should be.

Still some art courses are still missing.

neoncube

@DW7 I have enough information to assign them, thanks 🙂 It may take me 1-2 days before I get to this, though.

neoncube

Just uploaded another ~1,000 courses, mostly courses with images 🙂

Bedtime for me! ^_^

I made a few math lessons for my students. Would you mind migrating them please?

LOL, that's a funny one. I can still do 2⁰ - 2¹⁶ in my sleep as the C64 had, well, 64 KB (= 65.536 bytes) of RAM. :-)

neoncube

professorb Sure! 🙂 I think these are queued up to be migrated whenever I run the next batch 🙂

@[deleted] I think I peter out at 2¹² XD

neoncube

I've finished downloading basic course information (course name, description, etc.) for all of the incomplete/unlisted courses and have now started downloading vocabulary for those courses 🙂

It looks like there were 3,060,000 incomplete/unlisted courses (versus 220,000 public courses). I'm hoping that downloading vocabulary for the courses will go relatively quickly, though, since it seems a lot of those courses only have one level (or no levels at all!) 🙂

DW7

It could be hard to find a good course with so much choice !

neoncube

DW7 I'm guessing that probably only a few hundred of these courses will end up being made public on My Little Word Land. I'm mostly just downloading them so that I have a backup, in case someone in the future asks if I have a copy of an unlisted course that they made on Memrise 🙂

neoncube

Fun statistic: Of the 220,000 public courses, 125,000 had a course picture.

Of those course pictures, 23,000 were duplicates!

It seems it's quite common for authors to use the same picture for multiple courses! 🙂

DW7

Of those course pictures, 23,000 were duplicates!

I have noticed this on courses I've looked after and there are several reasons:

The same course has been put into two different categories (to make it easier to be found and because the groupings MemRise has used are confusing - I've mentioned this before).
(An example of this 'duplication' is the 2014 Flag courses [one in Flags and one in Geography] but one has more flags than the other!)
(Sometimes a course is in Miscellaneous or Other as well as the obvious category and those two are subsets!)
.
A course for English to learn Italian (for instance) could (helpfully) be duplicated for Italians to learn English.
(Can you think of a way to present this both ways and not duplicate it? Or are you not expecting MLWL to be accessed by foreigners?)
(Perhaps the answer is to have a note above the "I speak" dropdown saying "If you speak a foreign language and want to learn English, there could be more choice if you set your language to English and "I want to lean" to your language.)

(One way I have done it is to add the same word in both English and Italian so a word search will find it in either language.)

I think this is why I haven't found some of the courses I look after as I haven't changed my "native" language to Italian.

neoncube

DW7 That's interesting that people uploaded the same course to multiple categories! I suppose this gives us a nice opportunity to clean up these courses by somehow merging them into a single course 🙂

I've been thinking a lot about whether, say, an Italian course for English speakers could automatically be reversed and also be an English course for Italian speakers. I think it could! 🙂 My thoughts are that we'd probably want to use a similar system to the one that @7shi and I discussed in https://forum.mylittlewordland.com/d/59-answer-customization: Let authors create a new version of a course that's linked to the original one, so that they could change a few things, like the course's name and description, but keep most of the courses synced with the original version 🙂

neoncube

I've just finished uploading most of the courses for people who speak Mexican Spanish and am working on uploading courses for people who speak Spain Spanish, at the request of a Reddit user 🙂

Also: Hi from Hawaii! XD I have a long layover and figured I'd migrate some courses 🙂

neoncube an Italian course for English speakers could automatically be reversed and also be an English course for Italian speakers.

That's something I was thinking about, too! Also, there are polyglot-courses that cover a whole bunch of languages. This one for instance - it's EN-FR, but also sports Italian, Spanish, Portuguese and German translations:

https://mylittlewordland.com/course/25977

The quality of the course's content is medium to low (particularly German) and many translations are missing across the other languages, but in general it should be possible to just switch the language pair.

Another example is this one: EN-NL, but it also has German translations for every single item (the quality being good to very good):
