WP concerned:
WP 2 - Completion and review of the French course

Objectives of activities carried out:
Verify the smoothness of the creation of the on-line training package for the learning of French in a business context

Description of activities carried out:
Connectis had a constant email contact with Inforef, especially with Milena Rebeschini, in order to give her all the support to create the on-line training package for the learning of French in a business context.
Our Flash programmer have reached all the reports about the difficulties and have had some work to do to propose the solutions. Now the work is more fluent and we have the possibility to see in real time the questions and the problem suggested. In fact we had create a platform where all the partners can upload all the questions and doubt about how the portal works.
The platform is available at the address http://bugtracking.business-languages.net , is a freeware platform that we have adopted and modified to our needs.
Mantis (http://www.mantisbt.org) is a system for managing issues relating to software that can divide these issues into projects and to assign different roles to each user (warning, developer, supervisor, administrator).
Mantis allows a more organized bug reported by users (flags) and their history (allocation to developers of the project, taking charge, resolution, verification, closing bugs).

Allows users to report such problems with an instrument to measure, to follow the history of reported bugs and the history of bugs throughout a project.
Connectis had also a constant email and telephone contact with Pixel in order to verify and to find common solution to the creation of the on-line training package for the learning of French in a business context
