Tech Talk Topic
StudyMate
StudyMate is a fun and easy program that can be
used to create Flash-based learning objects and
place them on your Palomar web site or within your
Blackboard courses. It creates activities,
games and puzzles like flash cards,
fill-in-the-blanks, guell-a-letter, matching,
crosswords, multiple-choice quizzes, and a
Jeopardy-like game called "Challenge." The
activities are based on simple input by you, or by
importing pre-created input from your textbook
publishers. See our StudyMate
training page for more details. StudyMate
is downloadable software for PCs only. To
download the software, go to our
software page.
