I just started working on some lessons for students and I noticed changes to the workflow for creating lessons. In general I like the aesthetic changes.
The one change that I really don’t like is not being able to title a new lesson before I add content. I find it illogical to start creating content before titling the lesson, and I often have consistent formatting of the titles (chapter numbers, sub sections, etc) for my lessons titles and not being able to copy and paste the new title from the old lesson to the new lesson before typing or pasting the lesson content is slow me down and creates opportunities for error (skipping chapter/section numbers, etc.)
I also prefer to add the title first.
I have another problem besides this one. I have been importing Danish books chapter by chapter. I have puchased audio files in mp3 form for each of these books. In most cases each chapter is matched with 2 or 3 audio files. With the previous import system I could:
Head the lesson with the number of the mp3 file I am importing.
Import the mp3 file.
Import the text of the whole chapter.
Find the place in the text that matches the end of the audio file and delete any extra text.
Save the lesson.
Head up my next lesson with the next mp3 file number.
Attach the appropriate mp3 file.
Save the lesson.
This seems a fairly lengthy process but it simply works.
Using the new import function is much more tricky as I cannot see the text and listen to the mp3 file at the same time. I guess I could listen to the file on iTunes, but it was easier to do this on the one page on LingQ.
Is it still possible to import with the previous import system?
