We have been told by ICT coordinator to keep sending links to be unblocked.

]]> Comment on Captivate 2 vs Breeze by AB http://drewburrett.edublogs.org/2007/06/26/captivate-2-vs-breeze/#comment-583 AB Tue, 26 Jun 2007 12:07:33 +0000 http://drewburrett.edublogs.org/2007/06/26/captivate-2-vs-breeze/#comment-583 If I had to make a choice between the two I would agree with you too here Drew. My biggest gripe with a 'Breezo' (the bizarre, yet apt name for a Breeze presentation!) is the 'theme' that the presentation has to sit in. Whilst this may be a great tool for business, I think it is too much of a distraction compared with the cleanness of a Captivate project. Compared to Flash however... The scoring thing is a major disappointment - isn't it? The problem is the instant feedback given, as the student is immediately demoralised by it. On the plus side though, all the data is tracked for the teacher, so when you analyse the data you'll know that the student got 3 out of 5 matching elements right, so it's not a complete lost cause? <em>(I'll have a think about this though - there may be a workaround for the instant feedback?)</em> If I had to make a choice between the two I would agree with you too here Drew.
