Creating a complex association

Open the file module3.jclic.zip. You can open it directly from the dropdown menu which opens when you click on File (and also using the keys Alt+1, if this was the last file you saved).

The association activity you are going to make will have textual information only. You will not need any files from the media library.

The activity is about relating the name of different countries with the rivers that go through them.

Go to the tab Activities, add a complex association activity to the project . Call it "Complex association".

Go to the tab Panel. You will see two grids which are the same.

From Panel A, increase the number of boxes until you have 8 (2 x 4, 4 x 2 or 8 x 1, so as to see them only in columns). Introduce the following names one per box leaving the last box for the name Andorra: Peru, Brasil, Sudan, Egypt, Minnesota, Arkansas, China.

You can enlarge the panel to see the words better.

Because all the textual content has to have the same style, click on Style button in Panel A:

Change the background colour, font and size of letter, and the colour of the text and the border. Change the size of the panel depending on the size of the letters.

Deactivate the option Alternative Content.

Go to Panel B: you can do this from the tab or by clicking directly on a box in the panel.

Choose 4 files and 1 column. In each of the boxes write: Amazon, Nile, Mississippi and Yang-Tse-Kiang (1 name per box). You can see that some boxes in either panel has no relationship with the others. Select the style you prefer but not too different from the first grid, resize the panel if necessary by dragging the sides out.

Go to the grid Relationships.

The first four boxes have automatically related to the four boxes in panel B. You have to adjust all the relationships.

Click on the first box in panel A (e.g., Peru). The arrow that is there will disappear and in its place a new arrowhead will appear. Drag the arrowhead to the new position. Do the same for all the boxes in panel A so as the boxes do not coincide with panel B. In the case of Andorra, (where none of the rivers go through), take its arrow to any point of the area that is out of the panels.

Test the association using .

From the tab Window, take the image question.gif for the background, as you already have it in the Media Library, choosing the option with the button Image, and selecting this file as a multimedia object:

Activate the option mosaic. Colour and style the game window to your liking.

Test the activity again. Add the initial and final messages.

Save the changes by replacing the file module3.jclic.zip.
