.: About iAssign :.
The
iAssign (Interactive Assignment) package aims
to enhance activities in Moodle, allowing the incorporation of learning plugins to Moodle.
These plugins are called
interactive Learning Modules (iLM), and examples of iLM that comes with
iAssign are:
- iGeom: Interactive Geometry
- iGraf: Interactive Graphics and Functions
- iComb: Interactive Enumerative Combinatorics
- ivProg: Visual and Interactive Programming on the Internet
So, an iLM is any interactive tool that runs under a Web browser, typically it is a Java
applet
or an HTML5(Developing) package with a few (mandatory) communication methods, all based on HTTP protocol.
This implies that any learning
applet can easily became an iLM and can be integrated to Moodle under
iAssign package.
If the iLM offers automatic assessment functionality,
iAssign is able to deal with it.
Under such iLM,
iAssign provides immediate feedback to the student,
and the teachers can get instant information about their activities
(including reports about the student performance).
It can be added new iLM into
iAssign, at any time, but (for security reason),
only the administrator has the privilege of integrating new iLM into
iAssign.
Once integrated, an iLM can be used by anyone registered in your Moodle.
For instance, a "teacher" can use the
iAssign authoring tools to create activities with any iLM.
In order to help teachers and students,
iAssign also provides:
- an area to the teachers' cooperation (Manager Interactive Activities of iAssign);
- a filter to incorporate any iLM activities in any Moodle text (iAssign Filter);
- and a modified TinyMCE editor (Insert interactive activity).
You can test iAssign with iGeom here, please, use the option "Log in as a guest".
