This project is in preperation for the upcoming rewrite of Synote.
The next version of Synote is planned to use AngularJS, so we are
implementing the core functionality as a plugin to an existing project
that provides an AngularJS wrapper around HTML5 videos.
Adding quizes in to videos could provide an innovitive way to revise
content from a lecture. If the user gives the incorrect answer, it can
suggest to skip back to the relevant part of the video, avoiding the user
rewatching the video from the start, or hopping around trying to find the
relevant part. As an aditional learning activity, the students could
collaberate around Synote to create the quiz content.
Polls could be used within lectures in a live manor to make the lecture
more interactive, perhaps asking about understanding, or getting other
information about the people in the lecture. After the lecture, the polls
could continue, such that those not at the lecutre could interact in a
similar manor, or the poll could become static and just show the results
from the lecture.
Both of these examples would fit in well to a MOOC's, which Synote could
be used to provide.
