ExeLearning

My former professor Barry Pennock-Speck made this exercise with ExeLearning.

ExeLearning is a free app that can be used to create online close activities. A close activity is another name for a "fill in the gap" activity. It can also be used to upload a SCORM zip file to your Moodle. Here is an example of a close with audio for my phonology class:

Onomatopeia

ONOMATOPEIA

"water plops into pond
splish-splash downhill
warbling magpies in tree
trilling, melodic thrill
whoosh, passing breeze
flags flutter and flap
frog croaks, bird whistles
babbling bubbles from tap"

A poem by Australian poet Lee Emmett

"Onomatopeia" a song by Todd Rundgren
