JoomLMS Team announces the integration with 2 more new Joomla! components that allows to make your e-Learning environment more user-friendly and customizable. Learners on the go can now can create customizable dashboards and enjoy flash books with reader-friendly controls looking as similar to the printed ones as possible.

Drag&Drop Component integration

The extension is inspired by iGoogle, BBC and others. Drag&Drop Component allows your students to create their own customizable dashboards. They can organize the page with the most important module sections at the top and remove the sections they do not really care for. You just drag a module you would like to be available at your dashboard and drop it wherever you want. The component uses the cookies concept for the unauthorized visitors of JoomLMS, and the settings for authorized users are saved in the database of your web site.

The component is a free third-party product. The JoomLMS integration plugin is FREE. Feel free to login and download it from the Extensions Directory. Don't hesitate to contact us via forum  or skype chat) if you have any questions.

Flash Magazine Deluxe integration

There tends to be some resistance to eLearning from people who liked their paper books and magazines. Flash Magazine Deluxe makes books look as similar to the printed version as possible. You can display your PDF with flip effect at your course. You have to convert it into images by any converter free or paid, but then it takes seconds to convert them into a flash book as a package. Overall, this extension does a good job of turning image files into a nicely-presented flash book with reader-friendly controls. You can insert sound, pictures, text comments, links and even video into book pages.
