Transforming Moodle - United for Wildlife Implementation Case StudyThomas Bell
Moodle MOOT presentation in Dublin, Ireland on May 12th 2015
#mootieUK15
There is a common misconception that the Moodle platform is inflexible and/or ugly. How far can you push the boundaries of Moodle without core hacks? Can Moodle be beautiful? This presentation looks at the development of a stunning MOOC site for United for Wildlife and discusses some of the hurdles and successes faced.
The first MOOC for United for Wildlife will be released in early May 2015 on a dedicated platform and has an array of plugins with improvements to; UI/UX with the theme, consistent incourse navigation, additional and modified My page blocks, custom authentication, custom login, badges block and a visually bold grid course format.
This presentation is a case-study showing what is possible with Moodle, using the plugin framework and no core hacks.

An Approach for Supporting P2P Collaborative Communication Based on Learning ...Luciana Zaina
The diversity of mobile communication scenarios brings up the needs for applications to access not only internet services but also local applications where the communication between the devices (called collaborative communication) happen without the usage of internet infrastructure. This scenario represents a peer-to-peer (P2P) network, which allows the sharing and the exchanging of hardware, software and content. The goal of this work is to propose a mobile P2P collaborative communication approach to allow the sharing and the exchanging of learning objects comparing their metadata to the student learning profile. A prototype was developed and we performed the architecture evaluation with 20 students of an undergraduate course. An evaluation using different message protocols was conducted to verify the proposal and suggest the best communication technology. The communication technology has an impact on the time spent during the exchange of objects which may interfere in the student motivation.
A presentation that was given on on some essential Moodle 2 plugins.

PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.

A tale of scale & speed: How the US Navy is enabling software delivery from l...sonjaschweigert1
Rapid and secure feature delivery is a goal across every application team and every branch of the DoD. The Navy’s DevSecOps platform, Party Barge, has achieved:
- Reduction in onboarding time from 5 weeks to 1 day
- Improved developer experience and productivity through actionable findings and reduction of false positives
- Maintenance of superior security standards and inherent policy enforcement with Authorization to Operate (ATO)
Development teams can ship efficiently and ensure applications are cyber ready for Navy Authorizing Officials (AOs). In this webinar, Sigma Defense and Anchore will give attendees a look behind the scenes and demo secure pipeline automation and security artifacts that speed up application ATO and time to production.
We will cover:
- How to remove silos in DevSecOps
- How to build efficient development pipeline roles and component templates
- How to deliver security artifacts that matter for ATO’s (SBOMs, vulnerability reports, and policy evidence)
- How to streamline operations with automated policy checks on container images
Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.
Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/blog/graphrag-unlocking-llm-discovery-on-narrative-private-data/
2. 1
Real-time trending course content
Provide an insight to course material that students are
really interested in.
Could shine a light on material other students missed.
Lazy students will know something is up when they see
a surge in activity.
3. 2
Advanced fine-grained logging framework*
Push the existing logging framework one step further.
Add hooks into existing modules
Simple API to allow integration
Unseen levels of data produced
* May need a lot of power
4. 3
Stripped down “Mother Proof” interface
Prevent our “older” companions from getting overwhelmed
with the amount of links and options available.
BIG fonts, Simple colours.
Simple terminology
Login?!? You mean “Let me in to that there page”
5. 4
Virtual eyes / Poke
Similar concept to facebook poke feature
Small set of eyes appear
Student knows your watching them and better get
going with that work…
6. 5
Open online usage monitor
Students can see how long they have each been online
for.
Idle time not counted, only actual usage.
At the end of the semester, graph pass rate to usage
monitor. Can be used as evidence in exam boards.
7. 6
Integrated … to PDF renderer
Similar to gmail functionality
Allow any file type that has a general text layout to be
rendered and downloaded as a PDF.
If the student does not have .docx / .doc / .rtf ……
viewer, they can just convert to PDF.
8. 7
3 Life System
Student has 3 lives.
If the student misses deadlines for submissions they
automatically loose a life.
If the student looses 3 lives they automatically are
summoned for a face to face progress meeting.
9. 8
Integrated social bookmarking
Combination of module and browser plugin
Imagine finding a website or resource you like
Booking marking by relating it to a moodle course and
even a topic/section of that course
Your bookmarks and other learners bookmarks can be
visible to all course learners
Think of Moodle integrated with Delicious
Moodle meets informal group/social learning
10. 9
Improved User Interface
Can a user tell the difference between Moodle 1.0 and
2.0 in terms of look and feel.
Has it changed much in the last 8 years
Can we make use of more AJAX functionality and
HTML 5?
Can we speed up use and basic operations for all
users.
11. 10
Simplify the Gradebook
I get nosebleeds.
Can we simplify the gradebook and divide the
functionality into easier to understand components.
It is by far the most difficult component to train staff to
use.
Is there an argument for a basic grade tool and an
advanced?
12. 11
Assessment load balancer
A failing of many higher education courses is an inability to
schedule assessment across modules without causing overlap and
periods of excessive workload.
Can we expand the assignment types to allow staff to estimate the
amount of time it will take to complete an assignment.
Can we also allow course owners to set the weekly workload for a
module.
Moodle can then report on assignment clashes and periods of
excessive workload.
13. 12
Student performance monitor
Another failing of many higher education courses is an inability to
spot a student failing a number of modules.
Can we develop an integrated alert system when a student has
failed a certain % of assignments or has not submitted.
14. 13
Backup to repository
Allow moodle users to add a backup repository to their
user profiles (e.g. dropbox)
Automate course backups to to repositories.
15. 14
Anonymous Usage for some Activities
There are instances when we may want to allow users
to use activities in an anonymous guise
Questionnaires
Votes
Feedback
Forum postings
Assignment submissions
Peer review
16. 15
Enhanced Student profile
Students tend to move upwards in third level across
programme boards.
Not unusual to be managed by 20+ academic staff over
course of 4 years of study.
Require a student information zone. Details on
Academic performance, attitude, behavior etc.
Medical needs
Learning needs
Past incidents etc.
17. 16
Core Attendance Feature
Moodle is a course management system with no core
feature for managing real world attendance.
Issues with two existing modules.
Link attendance to previously suggested student profile
feature.
18. 17
Cross server backup and restore
Many larger institutions take a snapshot of their moodle
server and archive it (write protected)
Allow moodle courses to be backed to another moodle
instance.
Allow moodle courses to be restored or migrated from
another moodle instance.
Allow restore files to exceed course file upload limit.
Make migrations easier!!!!
19. 18
Citation Manager for Moodle
Perhaps this is outgrowing the VLE
Useful to allow students to gather and manage citations
in one central location.
Moodle would be perfect!
Could be linked to assignment submissions, peer
sharing and review etc.
20. 19
Make this a resource!
Sometimes you receive a student submission or
assignment that you would like to highlight or add to
your module as a good example.
Example to other students
All students to vote for submissions etc
What about a „make this a resource‟ button which
would copy the submission to the file area and allow
you to give it a title etc.
21. 20
Suggestions for Moodle.org
Make it easier for people to suggest improvements (non
tracker based)
Allow rating of modules
Show a list of top modules
Show modules by
Download
Popularity
Age etc
Keep up the amazing work!!!
