Created attachment 203211 [details] A screenshot of the slide in the louise braille activity with wrong fact As said in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louis_Braille#Musical_adaptation Louise Braille didn't keep the Braille system a secret in 1928, but he published several books such as Method of Writing Words, etc
Hi, thanks for your comment. It is confusing, if you read the wikipedia page you can also see this: Through the overwhelming insistence of the blind pupils, Braille's system was finally adopted by the Institute in 1854, two years after his death. In fact, not everybody appreciated his method and he had to teach it secretly 'within the institute' but yes he did publish and promote his invention. You can find a reference to this fact here: http://www.ideafinder.com/history/inventors/braille.htm Now I understand the confusion. It is especially sad to highlight this fact in a software promoting a free culture. Having said that, I have a hard time refactoring the sentences in the game while keeping the cohérency.
Created attachment 211202 [details] [review] Modified fact about promoting his method.
