Website update 2/9/2021
Hi and welcome to another website update post!
In this update I’ll be talking about all the things that have been added to the site this week and the plan going forward.
This week has actually been a lot about research. We’ve been researching the best LMS (Learning Management System) to put onto the site. We’ve used other LMS in other websites but we wanted to make sure that we investigated what would be the best option for the studyimedia site as things do change over time.
After a bit of experimenting I do believe that we have found the right LMS for the site (and maybe for other sites in the future!).
Now that we pulled the trigger, you can see that we have been implementing some of our lessons and courses into the LMS if you click on the ‘All Courses’ button on the navigation bar.
We’ve started to port across some of the lessons that have been previously made on Microsoft Forms. By no means are all complete just yet, but we do have the basis for most of R081 LO1 complete.
We will be working on completing more of these as we close the week.
Not only have we been working on researching the LMS, but we’ve also been looking at ways to make the learning on the site more fun by gamification. This will involve earning points for taking quizzes on the site, signing up etc. We’ve researched and found the best implementation of this, but our efforts will concentrate on implementing the lessons first before we get this up and running.
Thanks for dropping in – don’t forget to take a look at the courses that we have setup.
Thanks for your support!
