Overall, I think it's an interesting site with potential.
MAKE QUICK EXPLAINER QWIKI HOW TO
Check out this video tutorial on how to embed Qwikis into your Articulate Presenter. Qwiki is a great tool for your multimedia e-learning presentations using Articulate. The Search Query API provides you with 20 topic-related Qwikis for your any search term. Qwiki claims that the Homepage is for a general audience and Education is for a younger audience. There are actually 2 separate Qwiki of the Day Collections-Homepage and Education. You can copy and adjust their code, allowing you to embed 2 different types of series: Just click on the "Improve This Qwiki" to help out.Īside from the regular embed, earlier this month, Qwiki released their Embed API. You can suggest a picture or YouTube video, or give notes on the sound quality. If you find a Qwiki like Chicken Gun that needs a little improvement, you can help make it a better resource by submitting your feedback. You may be better off with something simpler, with style attributes, like this: View Tycho Brahe and over 3,000,000 other topics on Qwiki.
MAKE QUICK EXPLAINER QWIKI CODE
I found that the embed code was problematic (on this site, anyways), so it may need some adjusting on your end.
Like every other site on the web, there's options to post to Facebook and Twitter, along with a shortened URL and an embedding option. Step 3 ShareĪt the end of a Qwiki, you may choose to check out any of the related Qwikis shown, or you might have found it helpful enough to share it to your friends. Once you've found a good Qwiki to try out, like the Tycho Brahe, you'll notice real-time results before you even hit enter.Īnd once on the Qwiki, you'll be presented with an interactive experience that allows you to click on images for further details:Īlso incorporated into some Qwikis are maps, YouTube movies and animations.įor the most part, navigating a Qwiki is intuitive, with little help needed. The Qwikis on Chicken Gun, Toilet-related Injuries and Deaths, and Vasovagal Response sadly have poor, non-applicable imagery to accommodate the script. But all of the Qwikis for Square Root Day, Fart Lighting, and Kayfabe returned back dialogue only-no images or videos. I found helpful articles on the Commodore 64, homopolar motor, and Easter Island. I tried to outwit it, but I found Qwikis for everything I tried, albeit without great content. Or maybe it was? Start searching now to see for yourself.
Now, like I said-not everything on Wikipedia was turned into a Qwiki. And the iPad app is on the way! Step 1 Search
It's still in Alpha mode, but it's only a matter of time before they tweak all the bugs. Though Qwiki has indexed only 16% of Wikipedia, with 3 million reference terms on site, it's quickly growing Back in October it had only 2 million. And it's gaining some traction Lightbank, owned by Groupon's cofounders Brad Keywell and Eric Lefkofsky, just invested $1 million into Qwiki. If you just watched the Qwiki, then yes, you heard right-it's the brainchild of Facebook cofounder Eduardo Saverin and YouTube cofounder Jawed Karim. But there's no better way to tell you what Qwiki is than to show you in a Qwiki: Qwiki disseminates Wikipedia's detailed information into a tightly packed summary, using a softly spoken, computerized female voice to vocalize the script, pictures and videos from around the web for visual comprehension, and even subtitles for those who want to keep their reading glasses on. So, how do you compact Wikipedia's extensive text into a audio/visual package that anyone can digest in mere minutes? Everybody wants it fast and in an easy-to-consume format. And with our ever-increasing busy schedules, quick summaries are more favorable than comprehensive overviews. With over 18 million collaboratively written articles, there's backgrounds and descriptions on practically everything-if it exists, there's probably a Wikipedia page for it.īut with today's craving for rich media on the web, watching is quickly becoming the new reading. Since its launch in 2001, Wikipedia has become the number one reference site on the web, used by anyone and everyone, written by anyone and everyone.
