Embedding Poll and Survey in Articulate Presentations on Moodle

If you are using Articulate Studio to develop your interactive e-learning course and using an LMS to host the courseware, you may want to do a poll and survey on relevant topics within the course in order to promote the students’ participation and interests. If you would like to embed a poll or a survey within an Articulate presentation, you may firstly think of using Articulate Quizmaker to develop the survey questions. However, many people are concerned about the reporting function of Articulate Quizmaker. With Articulate Quizmaker, you can develop graded quizzes or non-graded surveys.

Incorporating Semantic Web Technologies to Enterprise E-Learning Solutions

The Semantic Web is the emerging landscape of new web technologies aiming at web-based information and services that would be understandable and reusable by both humans and machines. Its advent and the relevant technologies, tools and applications provide e-learning development and research with new contexts and opportunities. Enterprise e-learning solution can particularly benefit from the incorporation of Semantic Web technologies because of the nature of enterprise context—it requires that not only learning per se but also business processes should be taken into account, and Semantic Web technologies can optimise the solution so that the business goals can be more easily and likely achieved. This paper will explain the benefits and the approaches of incorporating Semantic Web technologies to enterprise e-learning solutions, and use the Ernst and Young example to demonstrate how to propose Semantic Web technologies to a given e-learning solution. . . . → Read More: Incorporating Semantic Web Technologies to Enterprise E-Learning Solutions
