What can the Lesson Material Builder do?
- This was designed primarily for teaching English courses in
Japan, but some functions can be used for any subject. Some of the
functions are designed to be used with Moodle quizzes and with LaTeX.
- Automatically generate lesson materials from input
texts. Vocabulary words are automatically extracted from input
texts and sample defitions are provided in English and in
Japanese).
- This program automatically creates lesson materials, but the
output lesson materials usually need to be edited manually. This
software aids with the development of lesson materials, enabling
instructors to create their own lesson materials more quickly than
without this software.

version (the current version may not be exactly the same) of

sample definitions in English and Japanese. However, it is necessary
to edit the output by hand.

edited manually.
