OKMindMap plugin for Moodle 2.3 and Moodle 2.4.1 (okay, it's for Moodle 2.x!)

Here's a glimpse of the OKMindMap plugin in action on my Moodle 2.4.1 production site. Full blog post is coming soon. Stay tuned to this channel...erm, blog.



All the features highlighted in my blog post on the Moodle 1.9 version are either retained or have been
enhanced.

Dr Ho and associates from South Korea have done the Moodle community a big favour by releasing their Moodle 2.x plugin for OKMindMap. It's an awesome project that over the past one year has seen enhances to its Graphical User Interface and usability.

I'll blog about it in my next post. See you next week by which time I will have gathered sufficient information for my blog post! In the meantime, I've got a day job that needs my attention.

OkMindMap's new Ribbon. South Korean Mindmap gets better.

Checkout OKMindMap's new makeover!

Judging from the video by Dr Ho of South Korea, this new version of OkMindMap is a vast improvement over the earlier version which I blogged about here on Moodurian.blogspot.com or here on Moodlenews.com..




Doesn't the Ribbon remind your of Microsoft Office products?



If you watch the Youtube video above, you will see that an iframe node, containing another website, is possible in this version. Amazing!



So, what do you think of the new OkMindMap?

Giving the Davo Smith's Realtime quiz a pie chart

I've blogged on Davo Smith's excellent Realtime Quiz for Moodle 1.9 before here. Today's post is about my latest enhancement to that plugin - a pie chart to visually show the breakdown of scores. After all, doesn't every table cry out for a pictoral representation like a graph or a chart?

Back in February 2012, I was tinkering around with a pie chart code I found on the Net. Here's what I came up with for the Realtime Quiz for Moodle 1.9.



Seems that the table data is crying out for a chart of sorts to display visually summary information. The pie chart code is by Rasmus http://www.peters1.dk/webtools/php/lagkage.php?sprog=en
You can download the file piechart.zip. It contains the two files, responses.php and piechart.php, which allows the pie chart to appear. Both files, when extracted, should go inside the /mod/realtimequiz folder.

Have fun with this new makeover for Moodle 1.9,
Frankie Kam
