<div dir="ltr">I teach Alice online to primary school students from many different schools, and I am starting to think there may be an issue with positioning of objects, but I'm not sure quite where the problem lies. The issue has occurred a number of times with students from a couple of different schools. At first I thought it was the kids positioning objects poorly, but I'm starting to get suspicious that it's related to different computers and versions of Alice perhaps?<div>
<br><div>What happens is that students (probably using a different version of Alice 3 to me) make an animation (they are very much beginners) and they send it to me for assessment. </div><div>But for a while I have been suspicious that they are not seeing what I am seeing as, frequently, objects seem to be positioned very poorly. I have attached an example, both the alice program, and screen captures of what I see. In the screen capture, the small thumbnail is from the Recent category in File >Open and it looks ok, but when I open the animation, the shark is sitting below the sand. Other objects (eg the fish) that appear later in the animation are in the correct place (or where I assume the student placed it).</div>
</div><div>I have opened the animation on two different computers (one running V3.1.81, the other V3.1.77), and I see the same thing on both computers. </div><div><br></div><div>So my questions: Is there something obvious that I am missing? Are the students doing something? Is it possible that it's a versioning issue? </div>
