Spark Learning
What is Spark?
Online Community Platform
Spark provides a central location for your content creators to collaborate on eLearning projects. Your users can create learning objects, rate and provide feedback to eachothers work, find and share learning objects to use in their class, post questions and answers in the private discussion board, and much more.
Learning Object Publishing Platform
Spark also provides tools for your users to create interactive learning objects. Using Spark, your users can take existing videos (including YouTube videos) and turn them into interactive videos with decision trees, quizzes, and other interactions. They can also create immersive hot-spot images, interactive course presentations, and quizzes or feedback forms that can be easily embedded in their courses or websites.
