4 Custom Free Software for Elearning Development 4 custom free software for eLearning development When we are talking about the development of elearning, most often as the author mentioned means 4-5 standard programs. It is familiar to all Adobe Captivate, Articulate Storyline, Websoft CourseLab, a little less iSpring Suite and very rarely — Lectora Inspire. Without a doubt, these tools have already proven themselves, they "sharpened" under the most popular LMS and popular LMS, in turn, is also "adapted" to them. Here is such a vicious circle. When these applications are not cheap: from $1,000 per year and more. Those who are not familiar with these professional tools for course development, will be a useful article in iSpring blog "Review of programs to create courses". This article describes the functionality of iSpring Suite, Adobe Captivate and Articulate Storyline. write my essay in 1 hour Is there a free alternative to these products? The answer is: Yes and no. If consider only applications that leave ready SCORM packages, then the answer is no, alternatives with similar functionality cannot be obtained. Basically the free app will be much weaker and courses, made them look homemade. But if you want to get something more than the standard functionality of SCORM courses, and are ready for experimentation, innovative approaches and things, to be honest, sometimes "dances with a tambourine", we offer you a list of free applications with which you can create a unique training product with much greater capabilities. While programming skills are required! But what about SCORM you ask? Answer: there are very simple ways to convey all necessary data in DLS different from standard methods, using JavaScript. Here knowledge of programming is also not required, will only need to copy the ready code, examples and step by step instructions on the insert which the Internet presents in excess. 1. Blender 3D + blend4web. Blender 3D is very powerful and absolutely free three-dimensional editor with built-in engine for video processing and even create games and apps without programming, using only the visual editor. The program is dedicated to many specialized websites, there are a huge number of lessons, so you will be able to learn the basics of this is undoubtedly a wonderful program. Learning to work in Blender, you will discover a huge 3D world. And by combining this knowledge with experience of developing training courses, you will be a truly valuable expert. To the obtained 3D images, videos, games, virtual worlds translate in the plane of the web, simply install the free blend4web plugin, with which you will be able to export the model, scene, animation or even game in the form of an HTML file, which in turn can be easily downloaded at the website. 2. Scirra Construct 2. Scirra Construct 2 — a designer of games. Free it can be called conditionally, because the version that does not require money has a number of restrictions on the number of objects used, etc. the Paid version is significantly less than the above more money (around $150). With Construct you can create interactive presentations and tutorials. The whole set of tools that you pleased with CourseLab, Storyline, and Captivate, you can easily implement with the help of Construct. Plus, you can add to your courses elements of popular games: platformers, like Super Mario, racing, arcade, strategy, RPG and adventure. Your imagination will tell you the options necessary to begin to think of. The resulting product is easily stored in the form of HTML5 applications, or (attention!) native apps for the most popular operating systems: Windows, macOS, iOS, Android, Tizen. As another plus: for those who still want SCORM to Construct developed a plugin that adds everything you need to load in LMS elements. 3. GDevelop. GDevelop is a free twin brother Construct 2. He is little known, that does not prevent the program to be a powerful and useful tool for developing interactive learning content and electronic courses as a whole. As in the case with Construct you can create all that is in the remit of specialized applications for the development of elearning, and to expand the functionality of game elements. From GDevelop (in contrast to the Construct) there is a Russian interface that facilitates familiarity with the program. Another great feature GDevelop is that it is cross-platform application that can be installed on Windows, macOS, Ubuntu or other versions of Linux as well as iOS or even develop your content in a browser online! The finished product can be exported as HTML5, and native apps for all possible operating systems. 4. Stencyl. Another shareware cross-platform games designer, which can be used for the production of learning content. The free version allows you to export content for posting on the website, but at the moment only in flash, but soon the developers promise support for HTML5. The paid version ($99 per year) allows you to export the finished product for various operating systems, both desktop and mobile. So, what is the advantage of these programs? They have great tools for developing learning content and they are free (or cheap). Yes, I love free software, especially if its quality is not inferior to pay. "Free cheese is only in a mousetrap," might you say. However, the above application examples prove the opposite. In addition, there are many excellent examples of free software, which serves with faith and truth: OpenOffice and LibreOffice, GIMP, Inkscape and many others. Of course, the differences between free and paid products is, however, often the difference between them is so insignificant, and the decrease in costs and expenses is so great that, ceteris paribus, the cost of finished content produced with the help of a free product, is considerably lower than the same quality, but produced with a commercial product. It is important for novice content developers who need to get into the industry, which is stuffed with seasoned professionals; for those who want to optimize their costs when creating the training product; and for those who do not have the ability to order elearning content from third-party developers, and wants to try to create advanced e-learning courses. There are interesting examples of the use of non-standard programs for designing the course? Write in the comments!.

    FINITENESS PROPERTIES FOR RELATIVES OF BRAIDED HIGMAN–THOMPSON GROUPS RACHEL SKIPPER AND XIAOLEI WU Abstract. We study the finiteness properties of the braided Higman–Thompson group bVd,r(H) with labels in H ≤ Bd, and bFd,r(H) and bTd,r(H) with labels in H ≤ P Bd where Bd is the braid group with d strings and P Bd is its pure braid subgroup. We show that for all d ≥ 2 and r ≥ 1, the group bVd,r(H) (resp. bTd,r(H) or bFd,r(H)) is of type Fn if and only if H is. Our result in particular confirms a recent conjecture of Aroca and Cumplido. Introduction The family of Thompson’s groups and the many groups in the extended Thompson family have long been studied for their many interesting properties. Thompson’s group F is the first example of a type F∞, torsion-free group with infinite cohomological dimension [BG84] while Thompson’s groups T and V provided the first examples of finitely presented simple groups. More recently the braided and labeled braided Higman–Thompson groups have garnered attention in part due their connections with big mapping class groups. The braided version of Thompson’s group V , which we refer to here as bV , was first intro- duced independently by Brin and Dehornoy [Bri07], [Deh06]. Brady, Burillo, Cleary, and Stein introduced braided F , or bF . The groups bV and bF were shown to be finitely presented in [Bro06] and [BBCS08], respectively, and this was extended to show that both of these groups + + are of type F∞ in [BFM 16].

The games have been developed for various purposes including entertainment, informational purposes, marketing, and advertising purposes. Game developers are continually developing multi- platform games that can be played on computers, mobile devices like iPads and smartphones and other video game devices. Today, mobile games consume a huge market share within the games industry. Considering that nearly two billion mobile devices are running a Unity-made game, it is probable that quite a large majority of these new companies will be using Unity to develop mobile games. Mobile games are becoming more and more popular and well-received by different types of users around the world. A lot of frameworks that allow developers to create the games in a faster and easier way. The Unity 3D engine is employed by an outsized majority of developers to make games. It owns a forty-five percent market share and is considered one of the biggest development tools today This project involves the approach of creating a 2D mobile game using Unity.

A virtual control laboratory is designed on large-scale educational purpose with merits of saving expenses for universities and can provide more opportunities for students. The proposed laboratory with more than thirty virtual instruments aims at offering students convenient experiment as well as an extensible framework for experiments in a collaborative way. hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) simulations with realistic 3D animations can be an efficient and safe way for verification of control algorithms. Advanced 3D technologies are adopted to achieve convincing performance. In addition, accurate mechanical movements are designed for virtual devices using real-time data from hardware-based simulations. Many virtual devices were created using this method and tested through experiments to show the efficacy. This method is also suitable for other virtual applications. The system has been applied to a creative automatic control experiment course in the Harbin Institute of Technology. The assessment and student surveys show that the system is effective in student’s learning.

This is an open access article distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution License, which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited. This paper addresses localization from a game development perspective by studying the state of tool support for a localization work in general purpose game engines. Using a systematic mapping study, the most commonly used game engines and their official tool libraries are studied. The results indicate that even though localization tools exists for the game engines included in the study, the visibility, availability, and functionality differ. Localization tools that are user facing, i.e., used to create localization, are scarce while many are tool facing, i.e., used to import localization kits made outside the production pipeline. 1.

Its forms spanned from being systems with limited 3D capabilities to complete and complex Web-Based Virtual Worlds. The advent of the 3D Web provided great opportunities to museums by giving them an innovative medium to disseminate collections’ information and associated interpretations in the form of digital artefacts, and virtual reconstructions thus leading to a new revolutionary way in cultural heritage curation, preservation and dissemination thereby reaching a wider audience. This audience consumes 3D Web material on a myriad of devices (mobile devices, tablets and personal computers) and network regimes (WiFi, 4G, 3G, etc.). Choreographing and presenting 3D Web components across all these heterogeneous platforms and network regimes present a significant challenge yet to overcome. The challenge is to achieve a good user Quality of Experience (QoE) across all these platforms.
