Going beyond learning one-word descriptions is the more advanced feature that records an orated story and converts it into written text for the benefit of the learning community. Connections are reinforced when words in the story match a tagged image resource created by any of the other learners. These tagged images act as illustrations to make the source material more accessible and engaging. In this way, social and cultural resources turn into learning material with relevance to everyone.
Recorded stories form the basis for reading material, and connections are found within the community resulting in multiple experiences being tied together.
