Joomla!
Today we'll talk about Joomla!
Joomla! is a free and open-source Content Managing System (CMS) for publishing web content. Basically, it's an online infrastructure that allows you to create your own websites, with multiple templates, an easy-to-use interface that doesn't require prior programming knowledge and plenty of customisation options.
It is supported and maintained by volunteers, available in over 70 languages and its sources of revenue are advertisement, partners and sponsors.
Joomla! also offers a wide variety of extensions to enhance your website. These extensions are applications that serve a given purpose.
As an example, I've chosen vQuiz. This tool provides the ability to create various quizzes to evaluate respondent's level of knowledge. This way, you can create a trivia quiz, a personality quiz and, surveys, polls and many more.
Use in education
But, of course, what interests us more is what use we can give this application in education! For educational purposes, online quizzes offer many advantages, the main one being the instant delivery of results to students, which enhances the feedback each student receives and avoids the waiting time for the teacher to correct the test.
