|
+.: About iAssign :.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+This is the iAssign (Interactive Assignment) package, an iMath free system to enrich activities in Moodle.
|
|
|
+It is created by Patricia Rodrigues and Leônidas de Oliveira Brandão.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+iAssign's goal is to increase interactivity in activities related to specific subjects (such as Geometry, Functions, Programming,...)
|
|
|
+in a flexible way.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+In order to improve interactivity, iAssign makes use of iLM (interactive Learning Module),
|
|
|
+that is any interactive tool that runs under a Web browser.
|
|
|
+Typically an iLM is a Java applet with a few (mandatory) communication methods, all based on HTTP protocol.
|
|
|
+This implies that any 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 its Moodle.
|
|
|
+For instance, an user with privileges of "teacher" is allowed to use
|
|
|
+the iAssign authoring tools to create activities with any iLM
|
|
|
+(like iGeom, iGraf, or iVprog, respectively to related to the subjects, Geometry, Functions and Programming).
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+The main features of iAssign package are:
|
|
|
+ - The authoring tool to allow any teacher to easily prepare activities to students. Activities can be:
|
|
|
+ + an exercise (the student must send an answer, and if the iLM has automatic assessment, its results (right/wrong) is also registered);
|
|
|
+ + a test (the student does the activity, if iLM has automatic assessment, the student gets immediate feedback, but no data is recorded in Moodle's database);
|
|
|
+ + an example (the student can interact with the example, but nothing is recorded).
|
|
|
+ - Reports about students activities:
|
|
|
+ + teachers can see, e.g., a survey or statistics about student's answers and can have quick access to any submited answer;
|
|
|
+ + the students have a survey of their activities (including their grades)
|
|
|
+ - Integration with general Moodle grades
|
|
|
+ - A filter that allows the insertion of iLM content into any (asynchronous) Moodle text.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Besides, as the majority of Moodle modules, iAssign can export (as backup) one activity or a complete lesson (a set of activities).
