Re: Adapt demo

Hi Mitja,

Thanks for sorting out my roles. I'll upload my Adapt demo soon.

Regarding your question about Adapt/H5P, I think it would be wise to 
encourage the use of both tools, especially H5P for new course creators 
who may not be familiar with Adapt and/or Moodle.

While I don't know a lot about H5P, I've tested it a little in the past, 
but never ran with it. I work for an elearning company very focused on 
using Articulate Storyline (considered the 'industry standard', 
unfortunately not free software), and about a year ago we all discovered 
Adapt. Being GPL, I became immediately interested in learning more about 
the tool and using it for my own courses which I was making with, and 
about, free software (among other topics).

Since first diving into Adapt and getting to know its great community 
(the tool is mostly developed by the UK-based elearning companies 
Learning Pool and Kineo), I grew to love it and have since taught myself 
to create courses, develop themes, host instances of the software on my 
own server etc. So I suppose I'm just much more familiar with the tool 
than anything else.

H5P is probably a more comfortable tool for creators who don't have much 
experience with CSS etc. as it's attractive 'out of the box', whereas 
with Adapt, more advanced courses can be created, with fully customised 
themes (if the user is handy with CSS), content branching, menus, etc. 
If the user is good with JavaScript, the tool can be fully customised 
from the frontend interactive plugins all the way down to the framework 
itself.

Again, I think it would be a great idea for us to explore both tools as 
they clearly both have a lot of potential, and likely have their 
respective pros and cons. For myself, I would most likely use Adapt in 
any courses I created, but I would also consider learning more about H5P 
so I could utilise it as well.
