Bonsoir,

Pour ceux qui lisent l'anglais, ce "tutoriel" de Stan Bogdanov pourrait être utile : HTML5 audio and video players. Et je pense que tout le monde trouvera utile le tableau comparatif, au milieux de son ""tutoriel," qui présente les formats que les navigateurs divers peuvent lire.

Cheers,

Bonsoir Jean-Philippe,

Hot Potatoes.net n'a rien à voir avec Moodle ; c'est un autre VLE.

Pour mettre un exercice Hot Potatoes sur Moodle 2.3, il faut d'abord installer le Hotpot module. Si tu as des problèmes pour comprendre l'anglais, Joseph et moi, nous pourrions t'aider.

Hi there,

My experience many years ago (maybe 8) with WebCT was just what Marcus has described: there were knowledgeable people in my own university who helped, but if I had a problem they didn't know the answer to, I never managed to get an answer out of WebCT in spite of the hefty price we were paying. Just access to densely, written technical documentation I didn't understand.

What a relief it was to go Open Source (first Dokeos, then Moodle) and be able to write in forums and get a practically instantaneous response. Not always a solution of course, but at least I knew when what I wanted wasn't possible. I found the documentation in Moodle just as impenetrable - thanks so much to those who've made it less so these days. In my experience, Open Source support is just a million times better. But maybe I'm not a typical user. thoughtful

Cheers,

Glenys

PS: Wish I could find Open Source hosting for my association's non Moodle site. But I gather that doesn't exist.

Hi there,

I agree with most of what Mary has written and, for me, the best video tutorials are hers, see Mary Cooch - Using Moodle.

Personally, I prefer written tutorials with step-by-step instructions and a screenshot for each step. But then I'm an old, fuddy-duddy.

These days, when I have a problem, I do a Google search for it. I only ask for help on these forums when that fails.

Cheers,

Glenys
