Horizon Wimba Releases Course Genie 2.1
See http://www.horizonwimba.com/about/press_detail.php?id=105 for press release.
Better integration with Moodle from Course genie. Quizzes can now be created in CG and scored by Moodle (ie recordred in GradeBook). Will now also export CG quizzes as a CE 6 quiz.
Must upgrade and take a look at some point…
Interesting that Horizon Wimba are now touting CourseGenie as a tool for Moodle. The text below is from their latest mailout, while no mention of it on their web site.
This new version most notably features the ability for instructors to create Flashcards, insert code such as HTML and Java, and export their course content to new Blackboard, WebCT, and SCORM formats (ideal for Moodle users). Course Genie allows faculty to quickly and easily convert their Microsoft Word documents into content for their Blackboard, WebCT, Moodle, and other online courses.
Wild speculation, but I wonder if this might mean possible future support for Moodle from HorizonWimba’s other products. More likely that SCORM is just a happy coincidence for them I guess.
