A mobile-friendly version of your learning content is automatically generated each time you create with SoftChalk. The learner’s device is automatically detected and the appropriate version is delivered to their smart phone, tablet or computer.

Track student scores

SoftChalk ScoreCenter makes it easy to track student score data, whether you’re delivering your content in a Learning Management System, on a website, in a classroom or “in the cloud.” ScoreCenter works with lessons hosted on SoftChalk CONNECT and is fully integrated into the Blackboard and Moodle learning management systems. Score data from SoftChalk content goes directly into the Blackboard and Moodle gradebooks.

Other ways to track student scores

With SoftChalk, you can automatically record student scores in SCORM-compliant LMS gradebooks and track both lesson completion times and lesson status times for each student. This can be done by packaging your lessons and courses in SCORM format.

Metadata

SoftChalk makes it easy for you to add metadata for your content. Metadata categories include Subjects, Education Levels, Keywords/Details, State Curriculum Standards and Accessibility. SoftChalk is the first Common Cartridge specification v1.2 conforming application, which allows curriculum standards alignment at the cartridge, resource and assessment question levels. Digital content, with the curriculum standards attached, can be shared in an interoperable way using this IMS Common Cartridge exchange format.

Information on SoftChalk’s Keywords and Details tab follows the Dublin Core standards for metadata. Creative Commons licensing is also available for SoftChalk authored content.

Interactive self-check questions

Use “QuizPoppers” and “Quiz Groups” to add comprehension questions to your lesson. QuizPopper questions can be added anywhere to allow the student to test their understanding of the lesson material. Seven types of questions are available: true/false, multiple choice, multiple answer, short answer, matching, ordering and essay. Students receive immediate feedback after answering questions. SoftChalk quiz questions can also be imported and exported from Respondus™ and Blackboard™ quiz pool formats.
