Diapason viewer html file editor
Presentation
By sharing this editor, our objective is to provide teachers with a way to easily convert a slideshow into an online course, so that they can experiment with hybrid pedagogies of the blended learning course type.
The solution proposed here is the adaptation to HTML 5 of a development carried out under Flash in 2006 and which proved very effective. In a few weeks, around sixty online course sessions had been created.
Its great advantage is that it can be implemented very easily by a teacher, without requiring the support of specialists in educational digital technologies.
More sophisticated solutions can be made, but this one has all the essential features.
You will find detailed explanations of the Diapason modules in this page, as well as an example in this one, with details on how to configure the html files of the viewer.
This utility, called DiapasonViewerEditor, allows you to open a session html file and modify the organization and the content of the steps, then save your modifications.
This page explains how to use the html file editor of the Diapason viewer
