eLearning block
Permalink 1 user found helpful
HI guys
An eLearning block would be a great addition.
My client site uses eFront for its online eLearning solution and I would love for this to be included into C5.
eFront lets you set up an online training course which contains a list of material/modules to either read or watch on video. At the end of each model the user can say they have completed and then move onto the next. They can even come out and come back at a later date and pick up were they left off.
At the end of all the modules the admin would have set up a test. This would be a series of question, multiple choice, true and false, what is this picture etc etc.
If they pass the test they are presented with a certificate that automatically places in there name, the course they have taken and some other details. They can download this as a word doc or a PDF. When the user passes the test both them and the admin or a designated user will receive an email confirmation.
I could go into more detail but this is the basis of it. I would love to be able to run something like this in C5 as they use it for there main site. eFront is also a bit of a nightmare to set up and is not very flexible when changing the look.
I imagine this would be a huge block like the real estate one but would be a worthy edition to C5.
What you think?
Have a look at eFront's site to get a more details idea.

I didn't like it. Plus I would love an eLearning solution incorporated into C5.
Is it at all possible to integrate eFront into C5.
dude I'm student and some students at our university made estudy. To be honest it's crap. And I hate it!
http://sourceforge.net/projects/estudy/...

Look at this. Seriously and honestly there is NO feature that efront has over c5. (Maybe ldap, but I'm working on it.)
http://www.efrontlearning.net/product/functionality-matrix.html...
Surveys, guestbooks, ratings, contents, blogs, forums all can be made with c5 easily.
I tell you what students really need:
- A way to see/browse documents online (google viewer like)
- Well sorted and clean Downloads section where you don't need to click through 10pages for one file.
- chat
- forums
- online whiteboard (link pastes to sessions on 3rd party
- rss!!!!!!! yeah rss is the most important
- rss just again.. I hate estudy.. damnit..
sorry. I have to look into ssh/every profs website/ at the university main page/ at the courses page and into estudy and it still happens that 5min before a course there is news like "today in room i007" that's annoying.

ah yea and that's why I don't like to see another elearning platform and efront looks bad to me also. Keep it simple stupid and simply use c5 for all you want and create/buy an addon for the parts that you miss.
C5 does not have the ability to track a users progress when they sit a test and then for it to auto issue a certificate and an email confirmation.
For my client, this is the main reason they use eFront.

I've been playing with integrating Moodle into concrete 5 for the last week or so, and it honestly looks like it's really pretty easy. There's a concrete side where I list courses as products people can buy, then I'm working on getting them enrolled in a moodle course at the same time.
Moodle has a really robust API for enrolling students and authenticating students and even creating courses from external databases, so it's a matter of updating a shared table from Concrete and using that to enroll the students. They could sign in to the concrete side and the moodle side with the same login, so you could easily do things like have your course and quizzes in the moodle side, but then the forums and course description pages and ecommerce on the concrete side of things.
I don't know how much of this would work as a package, but I know that it's possible to integrate the two with a pretty reasonable amount of work, without touching the core much if at all on either platform. If you're serious about doing a full integration, PM me and I can put you in touch with my boss to get you a formal estimate.

HI,
Did you get any further with your integration. looking to do exact same thing.Were you able to share the table of users and passwords?

A quizlet addon for c5 could solve all your questions though.

And I like that alot! A friend of me shares my account and he learns for his exams this way.

My client uses eFront and I am not a huge fan of it but it does have some features that I would like to see either added to c5 or made into add-on.
Would love to use C5 for elearning instead of eFront.

All i want to be able to do is be able to make a quiz that a student can take and than have the results emailed to both the student and the teacher.
There are many types of eLearning implementations.
In all; the number one consideration is at a minimum; SCORM 1.2 compliant and ideally, be SCORM 2004 compliant.
This is no casual request; the ability to track, report and upload SCORM compliant learning content is not only desirable - it is a requirement from any eLearning add-on.
Social networking/academic implementations of eLearning environments are different than corporate for profit eLearning environments.
Single sign-on is the key and I am sure that is what is driving the initial request. I think if the C5 team bellied up to the table and developed a well intrgated eLearning UI in C5, it could be sold.
The code is not so different, and there could likely be a lot of copy/oaste for an eLearning add-on.
Integrating an external system as was mentioned here earlier should require little more than embedding with single sign-on/pass thru capability.
