終於找到機會用Jotform製作fillable pdf, 給學員作為課堂中的worksheet。學員收到我的fillable pdf的link後，以之在堂上記下要點或回答我的問題，完成後，可以download 到自己電腦作為classwork 紀錄，然後按submit,我便收到他們完成的worksheet。
Just created my first fillable PDF with Jotform. Will use it in an upcoming PEDU6112 class:
https://form.jotform.com/243213910747050
The dashboard for creating a fillable form is not that clear. I had to do quite a bit of trial-and-error before I came up with a usable fillable form.
Of course, as I said in my last post, one big plus with Jotform is that I can create 5 forms for free.
The last time I used Jotform for creating a fillable PDF was two years ago.
I checked out Jotform again just now.
The created fillable PDF is mainly for sharing with respondents, who follow the link, fill in the PDF, and (a) submit it, or (b) download and then submit.
The owner of the form can view the submitted PDFs on his/her dashboard.
Under the free plan, I can create 5 fillable PDFs. If I delete one, I can create a new one in its place. This is quite generous (unlike Wordwall).
In this regard, Jotform is more generous than similar apps like Smallpdf, which do not have a genuine free plan.
Except that unlike two years ago, now I cannot download a fillable pdf first and then share it with others. The sharing can only be done online.
Just obtained an Education account for Figma, which entitles me to unlimited use of the web/desktop app.
Figma is for creating presentations. This is very much like Canva, to me.
Under Figma, there is Figjam. This is for creating graphics (mind map; flow chart; etc.). In this regard, this is like Microsoft Whiteboard, which I haven't touched for a while.
One feature of Figma is its capacity for collaborative creation.
I think there are similar apps, such as Miro. Perhaps the only difference is that Figjam gives me a free Education account.
Below is a one-minute video created with the AI function of Capcut.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PtvoIyQMKIA
the script used to generate the video was first created with Poe.com
https://poe.com/s/ZIc5zigSteFmkYY4rVzd
Of course, as you can see, the visuals in the video are there mainly for 'deccorative' purposes. They are not out-of-place, but they don't really help much with meaning-making.
Capcut can create videos from photos, and also generate a video from a prompt or from a script, as well as generate in image from a prompt. The free plan is quite generous.
It comes as a web app, and a desktop app.
Diffit, despite its functionality, does not generate blank-filling questions from a text.
I looked to Questgen, but it turned out the Blank-filling generation function is a paid function.
i then turned to Toolsday, which can generate blank-filling questions for free.
The problem is, the generated blank-filling questions are quite superficial, and do not tap higher-level thinking.
Compared with other apps that can create diagram tasks, this function in Quizlet is quite easy to use:
Step 1: Unload a picture.
Step 2: Click anywhere in the picture to create a hotspot.
Step 3: The hotspot represents a flashcard: enter the 'term' and the 'definition'.
This way of using a diagram with hotspots is quite different from other diagram apps.
In Genial.ly, Even under the Pro plan, I'm still only able to upload image files to a creation of up to 5MB.
I searched the internet for an image compressor application, tried it, and found it to be quite useful. It looks like the free plan is good enough:
For creating a more sophisticated digital worksheet, I prefer Bookwidgets. But unlike Wordwall, Learnngapps.org, Kahoot, Quizizz, and Educaplay, if the worksheet is a quiz which has pre-set correct answers (eg, MCQ), Bookwidgets does not show students their scores immediately after they have submitted their work. As much as I like BWG, to me, this is one defect of the app.
Anyhow, I have just found out how to return Students' work. Remember when students submit a completed worksheet, they have to type in their name and email address. The following screencast video shows how to return students' work (so they know their scores) via email.

Just checked out Ahasides, which is for creating interactive lessons (similar to Nearpod, Quizizz Lesson, Pear Deck). Its free plan is quite generous, as it allows for 50 participants (Wooclap's free plan admits 15 participants only).
Each event can inlude 5 quiz questions and 3 poll questions (Wooclap only gives you 2 questions in total).
Like the other similar apps, you can upload your PPT, and add the activity slides.
Ahaslides also has a PPT add-in, which when clicked in PPT, will take you to the Ahasides dashboard, and you can open a previously created question set or presentation. Then you can continue with your original PPT presentation.
Just had a go with Wooclap, which on the surface resembles the functionality of Quizizz Lesson, Pear Deck, Nearpod, etc., but is cheaper for subscription.
But there are many problems with this app. The free plan only allows for 2 questions. Even though the basic paid plan may be one third cheaper than that for Quizizz, overall, it's not worth it.
