JClic JClic is formed by a set of computer applications that are used for carrying out different types of educational activities: puzzles, associations, text exercises, crosswords... The activities are not usually used alone, but packed in projects. A project is formed by a set of activities and one or more sequences, which indicate the order in which they have to be shown. JClic is an application that has been used by educators of different countries since 1992 as a tool for the creation of didactic activities for their students. JClic is developed in the Java platform, is a free software project and works in different environments and operating systems. System requirements
Installing JClic Download jclic-0.3.2.0.zip. Create a folder (directory) "jclic". Open the zip file and open the subdirectory "jclic-0.3.2.0". Now copy the contents to the new created folder (directory). In the zip file are 3 programs; jclic.jar, jclicauthor.jar and jclicreports.jar. In this page I show you how to setup the first 2 programs ie. jclic.jar and jclicauthor.jar. You need jclicauthor.jar for making "programs" which can run in jclic.jar. I had some struggle to get it going, so you need a manual or something. Download jclic_course.zip if your native is English. There is no "interactive" course in Dutch, but there is a pdf file cursus_JClic_gino.pdf. If you need an other language you can go to Courses and tutorials on JClic.
