Textanalysis: Colorize and categorize longer textpieces

Request for text analysis tools
I teach social science subjects and that involves a lot of text work. I would like a possibility to mark text passages in different colors. You should be able to assign a category to each color.
For example: Students should look for arguments in a longer text. Pro arguments, e.g. from "technology", should be in green, pro arguments for "legality" in yellow, contra arguments for "ecologic" in green and so on. The names of the categories should be freely assignable. A student could first click on the beginning of a piece of text and then on the end, then a choice appears (which color?).

Before that, as a teacher, I could determine which markings I expect so that the student can get feedback after his work.


That would be a very important tool for a very typical form of text work. Is that difficult?

Thanks for all the great work!

Hi Guido!

Sounds like you and "Schule Bubendorf" in Switzerland have similar requirements, cmp. section "It's your turn!" at https://www.olivertacke.de/labs/2020/03/06/pick-the-symbols/ Feel free to reach out to them to discuss ideas and funding.

Best,

Hi Oliver,

Thanks for the link, your work is really inspirative (I scrolled through your page....) And your're right: '"Highlight the words" seems to be the kind of tool I'm looking for. I would prefer a solution which allows highligthing more than one word.

Regards,

Guido
