Aeneas 3 copyright 2005 J-PROGS
Aeneas 3
is the latest incarnation of a well-established
J-PROGS title. The program has three main sections:
• the story of Aeneas' travels from Troy to Italy, told with animations and cartoons
• information on Virgil and the Aeneid
• a Latin version of the story, told in language which has been directly adapted from Virgil's original
The Latin stories consist of about 500 words, broken into 15 screens. These are aimed at year 10 students or above. Each passage can be heard read aloud, as sound files are attached. A full range of information is given about each word under the headings vocabulary, syntax and grammar. Translations are also available.
The program stores
the information accessed, keeping a log of how much
help the student has used. After the work is completed, a record is
saved to the hard disk of the full work session. This can be loaded
into any word-processing application and printed so that, for example,
the student can work towards learning unknown vocabulary.
A new feature in Aeneas 3 allows teachers to specify how much help should be accessible to students. For example, vocabulary help can be limited to 10 words, or translation help can be allowed from zero times to any number. This sophisticated system gives the teacher a great deal of control over the process, ensuring that students concentrate on areas which are of most benefit to them.

The Status
card system shows how much help students have sought and
even identifies areas of grammatical weakness, which they should
consider revising.
