Bookwidgets revisited

 Bookwidgets was one of the early apps which I explored for creating interactive tasks. But at that time, the dashboard for creating new tasks was not that intuitive, so that it would take quite a while to figure out how to create a 'widget'. After a while, I turned my affection to other apps such as Educaplay, Wordwall, Learningapps.org, Bitsboard, and puzzel.org, for creating interactive tasks. 

But recently when I visited Bookwidgets again, I found that the app has made huge improvement. The dashboard is more user-friendly, though still not intuitive enough. There is a large variety of task formats which are not found in other apps. The app now integrates with Google Classroom. But personally the functionality I like the most is its capacity for creating quizzes and worksheets: a sequence of interactive tasks within a single quiz/worksheet. And there are as many as 36 task types to choose from when creating a quiz/worksheet. This functionality is not found in other apps, most of which can only create standalone interactive tasks (e.g., MC; matching; sequencing). 

In other words, Bookwidgets has succeeded in winning back my affection.
