Quiz results

This template allows you to track the results of assessment questions in your project. Please note, the Assessment Question - Record Response check box must be selected for results to be recorded in this template.

This template allows the author to customise the feedback to the learner dependent on the number of answers they get correct. There are three states:

• The learner has completed all the questions correctly
• The learner has completed some of the questions correctly
• The learner has not completed any of the questions correctly (this is an optional case of the second point)

The author can customise the different responses to these states.

Movie

The Movie template allows you to create page containing a movie and accompanying text to right-hand side.

This is a ‘legacy template’ for complete compatibility with the unsupported version 4 of the Tool.  We would always request that an author would think carefully of using LPTV and the Embedded Template; or, from version 6, we would strongly advise LPTV combined with the brand NEW Jukebox template for a more efficient streaming of any video files.

Flash

The Flash template allows you to create a page containing a flash video and optional blocks of text surrounding it.

(More detailed information and on-line examples to appear here early in the new year.)

Embed code

The Embedded Content template allows you to display video, images or other content that is available on the world wide web. For example, you may want to include short video clip in your module that has been uploaded to Learning Pool TV.

You can also embed content from YouTube, Google Maps or Flickr in the same way.

Jukebox

This is a NEW multimedia template in version 6 of the Authoring Tool and allows you to:

• present videos or mp3 podcasts; either singularly or as a collection of related media with a handy carousel presentation
• attached transcripts and/or subtitles to each
• reads information straight from LPTV so video presentations can be created with a minimum of effort

(More detailed information and on-line examples to appear here early in the new year.)

(We are currently developing an on-line resource to help you create your subtitles to use with your Jukebox presentations.  We aim to have this tool live through learningpool.com in February 2012.)
