# jclic(1)

Standalone player of multimedia educational activities

## NAME

jclic - Standalone player of multimedia educational activities

## SYNOPSIS

**jclic** \[*OPTION*\]... \[*FILE*\]

## DESCRIPTION

This manual page describes briefly the **jclic** command. This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution.  It only contains the description of the basic options.\
 For full manuals and documentation please visit:\
 http://clic.xtec.cat and http://projectestac.github.io/jclic

**JClic** is formed by a set of computer applications that are used for carrying out different types of educational activities: puzzles, associations, text exercises, crosswords... These activities are  packed in projects. A project is formed by a set of activities and one or more sequences, which indicate the order in which they have to be shown.

**JClic** is able to play JClic projects, that should have extension **\*.jclic.zip** or **\*.jclic**. It can also run installer macros of JClic projects, with extension **\*.jclic.inst** and import packages of activities made with the old "Clic 3.0" software, that have extension **\*.pcc** and **\*.pac**.

If you want to check about how JClic projects are, you should take a look at:\
