I want to learn to write!

H

oday launched the campaign "I want to learn to write." In view of the estimated 4 million people living in Germany are illiterate or dyslexic adults certainly a laudable project. Surprising: The initiators (such as the German Adult Education Association) have developed a comprehensive self-learning internet project developed.
Somewhat taken aback I was there already, because internet = web = letters = read-and-touch-able, etc. = expensive machine-have-in-the-touch-you-can You got it?
Either way, inquisitive, as we men are times now, I have called the URL. The way is "www.ich-will-schreiben.lernen.de". 27 letters. Plus punctuation. I have since domain such as "abc.de" or so reserved. But okay, that would be too easy.
Well, we'll skip that, finally you can leave the URL type of a friend indeed.
So now starts a surface that is pretty programmed in Flash. It therefore assumes that the audience is already technically in the amount of time and in any case, something with "Do you want to download the Flash plug-in from Macromedia download?" Can begin. And of course, has DSL.
Well, now I want to not be too sarcastic: Positive I found already that the page otherwise waived visual bells and whistles. And always (almost) all menu items and text via audio file will be read upon request.
But now came the next hurdle: ...

I wanted to sign me ... to me the offer to be considered. Fine, I thought to myself, look, just the menu item "cost" to. Behind this point lies a rather long text, which really just says that it costs nothing. Well, again smarter. So let enter your password. With a little Rumraten I came too far. Great. Not that you can write your own password in now, such as "Mimi". No, you will receive a randomly-generated mess. But the strongest terms: Since the layout designer had probably still vague notions of their first school year, is all in capital letters (our target group must also know the shift key) and each letter in each box. So you can not use just copy and past times. You have to get a piece of paper (or sometimes just start Word) and write down letter by letter.
Okay, at this time but I was pretty exhausted, and only once have gone through the first lesson. The acoustic-Read-and-letter-type-idea is not to say how badly.

Now again a few short clicks into the menu where there are, for example, the item "Message". Well, I thought at first, once you have something called "Radio" and it went without internet. But, they're smart, our developers, here is each of the written text to a current affairs and is read aloud. But hello - and what is read! I have, "Schroeder rejects from corrections to Hartz IV" belongs - adorable! Because from here it was probably too much of the content providers to constantly raise a spokesperson. So they use a mechanical voice. But what a road! A reading from the hinhauchende smoky female vocals. Well, that's still hungry for more!

By the way I wanted to still know who is really behind it. And there on the front page of what "Apollo" was, at first I thought "All right - eyeglasses? Much man! "Under this ingenious abbreviation is then understood it but what else ... it a bit what you are supposed to find out even more

To be misunderstood: Basically, I like the idea. Whether they really addressed the issues raised, however, brings a benefit that is related to the effort, you can choose only the overall concept (and a reasonable evaluation).
