Back to School...

We're well and truly back to school now. And as we embark on year 2 of the St. Aidan's Connect School Project the emphasis turns to creating Interactive Curriculum content for uploading onto our Virtual Learning Environment. I've been looking at a few applications for this. Hot Potatoes is used for creating Crosswords, Quizzes, Cloze Tests, and Matching Tests etc. It is very well integrated with Moodle which our Virtual Learning Environment runs on, so that grades achieved in the various tests can be saved. It's available from http://hotpot.uvic.ca/ and is free for use in Education. I've also been using Adobe Captivate 3 which is used for Screencasting, Podcasting and creating quizzes and other interactive material. It's available as a 30 day trial from https://www.adobe.com/ and is both user-friendly and highly configurable.
