Dresden, Germany - Independent developer, Ralf Ebert has announced the release and immediate availability of Straight ahead 1.5.3, an important update to his geography quiz game for iPad devices. Straight ahead offer users the opportunity to learn more about the world, its continents and countries. Through seven lessons, Straight ahead allows anyone to learn about the countries located in Asia, the Middle East, Europe, North Africa, South Africa, Central America, and South America via access to Wikipedia, photo galleries, and news sites.
Upon downloading the app, users can immediately begin brushing up on their geographical knowledge. The app doesn't require any registration or logging in. Straight ahead's straightforward and effective teaching method allows optimal learning, while making note of a user's existing knowledge. The app allows players to concentrate on countries they know less about, by repeating countries that have been answered incorrectly until the user has been trained as to the proper global location.
Beginning with the first free lessons, (the user can select the continent of their choice), every session in Straight ahead begins with a knowledge test. This allows the app to take note of the user's existing geographical knowledge, detecting which countries the user is familiar with, and which locales they need to learn more about. By using just their finger, users touch and drag an arrow labeled with the name of a country to the spot on the map where they believe the country is located. Then, by tapping the on-screen checkmark, they can see which answers are correct, and which are wrong. The proper location of each country is also indicated on the map for future reference.
Following the initial quiz, Straight ahead continues to offer an interactive learning experience, by quizzing the user on country locations, until the proper locations are consistently indicated by the player. The app also offers a number of interesting and informative facts about each country that is shown on the map. The information includes an extensive gallery of photos, Wikipedia entries about the countries, and current news from the area. Excellent graphics, informative text, beautiful photos, and pleasing audio cues combine to create an interesting an excellent learning experience.
"I have been crazy about travelling, and learning about far-away countries for as long as I can remember," says Straight ahead developer Ralf Ebert. "This has made the development of Straight ahead a labor of love. I've tried to make the learning experience enjoyable, so my app will encourage everyone to learn more about the world and its people, by accessing the app's plentiful information about foreign countries and the people who live there."
