A Rich Harvest at CCDMD

As the academic year comes to a close, the CCDMD is proud to present the fruits of another year of hard work, another rich harvest of digital educational resources.

Take a look at this lineup which will open a whole world of exciting learning opportunities to use with your students.

Here’s a totally new take on one of CCDMD’s most popular programs. Netquiz Pro. Designed for people who want to construct quick formative exercises, this improved version contains a number of new features that will be highly appreciated such as a new type of question ‘classification‘ that joins the 11 types in the old version.

Compatible with all browsers and sporting a new online interface, the new version can be downloaded free from the CCDMD site. An English version should be available before summer.

World of Images – with enhanced video feature

Interface of the website The World of Images

Even if World of Images has been a fixture at CCDMD for many years, this venerable repository has become an invaluable source of images to use with leading edge Web 2.0 functions such as sharing media, adding comments and embedding videos.

To date, more than 31,000 media files are available on the site.

Foundations of Effective Tutoring

Foundations of Effective Tutoring is a tutor training program developed as a reference for peer tutors and their trainers. Materials on the site include learning guides, videos and activity guides. The information is thematically organized and deals with student-centered issues such as active listening, learning styles, enabling borderline students to take charge of their own learning and more.

Barring unforseen difficulties, a summer release date is planned.
