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:
