Instructional Resources

StudyMate

FAU has purchased a site license for StudyMate.  StudyMate lets you create nine Flash-based activities and games using three simple templates. The Flash activities can be used with any web server or published directly to Blackboard. StudyMate will import items from MS Word files and publisher test banks, making it easy to create interesting, interactive activities from existing content. Best of all, you don’t have to know Flash programming or HTML to use StudyMate.

To request your own copy of StudyMate please fill out a service request at the Computer Support Center site.

(NOTE:  StudyMate is compatible with the Windows operating system. Apple Macintosh users can run StudyMate using Windows emulation software such as Connectix Virtual PC.  See system requirements below).

StudyMate Features:
  • Create Flash-based activities and games using an “offline” Windows interface
  • Three templates let you create nine activities and games (view sample activities here)
  • Import existing content from Respondus, MS Word, rich-text, IMS QTI, and other formats
  • Download publisher test banks for use with StudyMate from the Respondus Test Bank Network
  • "Spell check" an entire file (includes dictionaries for English, French, German, Spanish, Dutch, Finnish, and a comprehensive medical dictionary)
  • Insert graphics such as gif, jpeg, bmp, png, and pcx
  • Convert oversized graphics to a suitable size with one click
  • Insert mathematical and scientific symbols using the built-in Equation Editor or MathType
  • Add links to content on other servers with the Web Link tool
  • Use the Quick Copy Wizard to quickly assemble activities from existing StudyMate files or publisher test banks
  • Randomize questions and answer choices so the activity is different each time it’s started
  • Full context-sensitive help
