Google Docs

Imagine creating a quiz or test and having your student complete online. The best is yet to come. - The answers to each quiz or test question will be compiled for you and sent to a spreadsheet for private viewing with the option of sharing with others with a Google account. Your test or quiz can include various formats. Open-ended, multiple choice, true -false, choose from a list, or rank order or any combination. This can also be used as an assignment or review of material presented live or online. Google Docs can do this. See your CFF coach for more details and help in setting up.

280 Slides: PowerPoint made fast and easy, online

So you have that student who doesn't have PowerPoint at home and is a bit shy about using Virtually Connected. This is an on-line application that will allow student to create a PowerPoint like presentation at home.

In it, you can create a presentation, theme it, add graphics and video, and then present it, share it via Slideshare, or download it as a PowerPoint or PDF file. It's so smooth to use that it's hard to tell the difference in the experience between working in a traditional presentation app like Microsoft PowerPoint or Apple Keynote. It doesn't have a traditional app's over-the-top feature set, but it's so fast and easy to use you'll probably not notice that.
