How to Create an Interactive Online Course for Moodle

i spring sweet is your all-in-one toolkit for creating interactive e-learning courses ready for uploading to Moodle LMS let's make a course for language training with interactions flashcards and an assessment at the end when you start with a blank presentation the first thing to do is pick a design theme go to the design tab and have a look at the theme library let's use the organic scene and I like the wooden desktop variant so let's choose that if you like you can create a title slide for your course but I'd rather get right to the lesson so I'm going to right-click the slide go to layout and select title and content now I'll add a title and go back to the Home tab to increase the font a little we're going to be creating interactive flashcards on this slide so we won't need this text box start by going to the insert tab go to the shapes menu and select rounded rectangle draw the rectangle then type in the foreign word hit control a on your keyboard to select the text and click here to change the text to black let's also go back to the Home tab and make the text bold now that we have a template shape let's copy and paste it hit ctrl a again and type in the English translation now you can drag the shape to cover the first one now that you have your slide populated with words you can make the flashcards interactive this involves using stretch and collapse animation effects with on click triggers please see the article in the description below for more details now we're ready to add more slides with iSpring content insert a new slide here then go to the iSpring ribbon let's add an interaction to this slide iSpring visuals is a component of iSpring suite and allows you to create four types of interaction a book directory FAQ and timeline let's make an FAQ first give it a title here if you like you can add an intro at the beginning and a summary at the end but once again I'd like to get right to the material so I'll click add question since this is a language FAQ the question title will be a phrase in English and the answer will be the translation in the target language you can also record or import a voiceover with the native speaker reading the phrase answers can also be supplemented with images videos and flash movies continue adding as many questions as you like here you can preview your FAQ at any time by clicking preview on the toolbar yeah boccaccio Zubrin you know it's Dalek brass Twitter melodic when you're satisfied click save and return to course the interaction will appear as a placeholder on your slide now let's add another slide with some interactive web content first give it a title and delete the text area below with iSpring suite you can add extra elements to slides like YouTube videos webpages and flash movies let's add a couple of YouTube videos just paste the link in the video link area and then click preview to verify that the link works now click OK to insert it on your slide a placeholder will appear on the slide which can be moved and resized like any other object repeat the process again to add a second video now let's add another interaction insert a new slide and click interaction on the iSpring toolbar this time we'll make a directory interaction just like an FAQ you can add new items to the directory and supplement them with additional media let's see how the preview looks clip ZAF track Stu shot once again click save and return to course when you're ready finally at the end of our course let's add an assessment to see how well our learners did insert a slide and click quiz on the iSpring toolbar now select graded quiz iSpring quiz maker offers 11 graded and 12 survey questions to fully explore the knowledge and opinions of your users you can also enhance questions with pictures and equations audio video and flash movies let's take a look at this simple 10 question quiz I created for this course you have the option of displaying an info slide at the beginning of the quiz just enter the intro and description in these fields switching over to slide View mode lets you arrange items on slides exactly the way your users will see them you can choose from 40 built-in themes and add a background image by clicking format background back here on the forum view tab let's look at a few of the questions the multiple choice question contains a question text and possible answer variants you can also set individual feedback messages for each answer by going to feedback and branching and selecting by answer from the drop-down list if you select by question the quiz provides feedback for correct incorrect and partially correct answers for question types that support partially correct answers for example the multiple response question contains more than one correct answer and thus provides feedback for all three possible outcomes a sequence question prompts the user to put items in order and a matching question prompts the user to match items in two columns finally let's look at the hotspot question the user is instructed to locate an area on an image in this case the fork with these and all the other question types available in quiz maker you
