Creating a collection of supplementary reading for a class
Observations
Currently, several course websites for MIT language courses add a "supplementary readings" section where example sentences in the foreign language are presented in plain text. The examples emphasize on the sentence patterns, idioms, and vocabulary that have been learned in recent lessons.
Often, the sentences presented may utilize supplementary material in addition to what has been presented in the textbook. For example, the textbook may be romanized, but the example sentences may have been written in their original character set. Thus, these sentences are not appropriate for presentation to the textbook readers in general, who would be unable to read them, but would still be useful to have in a centralized location for the class.
Therefore, in addition to allowing users to select sentences to be presented to them based on their progress in a textbook, another desirable ability would be to have teachers be able to augment the sentences presented to their users with custom sentences (in addition to those that are associated with the textbook).
