I think teachers need this website...

Post by patch » Sun Dec 04, 2005 9:00 pm

I am creating this website for people who will undergo some exams. Most of us really have to face these kind of exams. From college entrance exams to employment exams and certification exams (like teaching and engineering)

To view one of the quizzes I made, please click the link below.
http://www.ikodeko.com/quizbuilder/quiz.php?quiz=23

This will lead you to a Solar System Quiz. I loved this when I was in my first grade. Other quizzes are available.

I want to offer our website. http://www.ikodeko.com
My friends and I are still putting relevant quizzes. We are helping each other so that we can offer the world some information that they need. We encourage all of you to see our website.

You can also create your own quizzes if you like. Other people can contribute to the quizzes you created by submitting their own questions.

We also created a FREE Math Worksheet Maker software. This is absolutely free and easy to use. You can use all the features of the software. http://www.ikodeko.com/worksheetmaker/wsm.php
You are free to distribute this software, but it must also be free of charge.

This covers math problems (basic to advanced). This will let you easily create printable worksheets. Also comes with answer keys.

Thanks!

If you have more questions, I will be visiting again this nice forum or you can email me direct to [email protected]

I went back to your site again, and it loaded fast today, but don't like the click activities, more interaction I think is required on a site to get students coming back for more.....I respect that hard work has gone in to it though, as I know it takes hours upon hours, I will refer it to some students I have and see what they say....

Well you've certainly got a lot of things on your site. I think its really useful to have online quizzes for students to do. I really like the idea of the quiz builder too. Nice work.

Hi patch,

I can see that you're putting a lot of hard work into your project, and I don't want to sound discouraging is any way. However, I fear that you're re-inventing the wheel. There are already well supported open-source learning management systems that can do all of what you have so far and then much, much more.

The most popular one, which has been adopted by literally thousands of schools and universities around the world, is Moodle. Open source (GNU OS Licence 3.0) means that there are no licence fees and you can download and install it for free on your server and start using it right away.

For the types of activities that you have on your website, I suggest having a look at the quiz activity module first. It's quite a steep learning curve to begin with but it gets much easier once you understand how it all works. There's a busy online community with forums etc. to ask for help and loads of plugin modules that can do things like integrate Moodle with Skype etc.

Here's their home page: http://moodle.org/
Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moodle

The latest version is 1.9. If you have problems with th installation scripts on your server, try installing version 1.8 instead.

Also check out my website and my Moodle which has a demo course with some of my stuff on it: http://matbury.com/

Good luck! :)

Slightly off topic - but on headline...

If you're looking for an easy way to store, save, bookmark activities, I recommend using delicious:

Using Delicious to store the great stuff you find on the net

There are a few others out there too - diigo, stumble upon, blinklist, mr wong - and more....

What have you been using? How?
