  • Activities are marked automatically and are supported by a full range of feedback in the form of speech, sound and animations to encourage progress.
  • Printable student certificates so that users have a record of their progress.
  • You can browse for activities using thumbnails instead of file names.
  • As well as the many activities included with the program, you can edit or create your own resources using the intuitive editor
  • You can use any of the extensive colour or black-and-white Widgit Symbols, the additional pictures and symbols supplied with Communicate: In Print 2, or add your own clip art or photographs.
  • Supported with coherent sets of resources “ready to go” covering a range of educational topics. Many of these will be developed in conjunction with the Symbols Inclusion Project.

Suitable for whiteboards, touch screens, mouse, trackball as well as being fully switch operable.

Create and edit your own activities using the simple editor

Communicate: By Choice is made up of two programs: A ‘player’ for students to work through the activities and an ‘Editor’ to edit existing activities and create new ones. The easiest way to get the most out of Communicate: By Choice is to edit an existing activity and replace the text and images to change the subject matter.

Take a 'Find another blue car' activity and edit it into 'Find another Egyptian scribe'
It takes 2 minutes to click and replace the images and text in an activity.

You’ll have instant access to the extensive collection of colour and black-and-white Widgit Symbols. And a host of additional pictures, symbols and sounds to help bring your activities to life. You can also add your own digital photographs, clipart, sounds or music.

The editor has three levels of access:

  • Edit only – A quick and easy way to edit existing activities
  • Create and Edit – Create simple activities with more editing freedom
  • Expert – A fully-featured editor for those who want to create activities from scratch
