10 tips for using eFront

Here is several practical tips for making your eFront experience more enjoyable

3) [professor] Use the open-source version to create locally lessons and then just upload them to you distant server. It is much faster!

4) [professor] Use Articulate quiz-maker, Articulate engage, Snag-it and Camtasia to produce rich media that will astonish everyone.

5) [professor] Create the structure of the lesson prior adding content

6) [professor] Copying from word directly to the integrated editor is possible but it adds unecessary word-specific tags. Instead, try to paste on notepad and then transfer them to the html view of the internal editor (it gives you much more control on your content)

7) [professor] Build a pool of questions first. Add dozens. Then combine them and create an unlimited number of tests.

Also, you may create your own external pages with info for your organization. eFront, allows you to build any number of external pages with links from one to another so you can build complex external interfaces. Just remember to include a link to the main eFront login page as well.
