Editor's Notes
- The year is 2020, & our world has been changed by the coronavirus pandemic code-named COVID-19 Situations & events have emerged which, until now, were only imaginable in a Hollywood script
- According to UN: “COVID-19 is the defining global health crisis of our time & the greatest challenge we’ve faced since WWII” Acknowledge, COVID is a challenging time for every body. It’s a shared experience
- The impact of COVID is without precedent in our life times Nothing & nobody has been spared. Every country, economy, business, household & individual - has been disrupted in some way In a matter of months, it is like a tsunami rolled in - & washed away many lives & livelihoods
- And then, there’s the MASSIVE impact on education According to Harvard Business Review, globally speaking, > 1.6B students have been impacted, representing 91% of all students in the world University campuses & schools have closed their doors. Students are attending lectures & classes, virtually
- And office workers have been told to work (and learn) remotely, from home
- This image depicts a traditional classroom in 1850s It was a by-product of the industrial revolution Do you think this kind of classroom - still exists today ? In many cases, yes ! The school is a physical environment Students are taught in large batches Classroom organised in lines & rows Curricula is standardised This old school model is somewhat akin to – mass production line in factory
- And now, with the arrival of COVID – and social distancing measures – the old school model – has been disrupted Many believe COVID represents a major challenge for education. This is true. However, I also see an opportunity for a paradigm shift - which empowers us to re-think the way we learn and work It’s taken a global pandemic - to get us thinking differently about education
- If it’s ok with you, I’d like to talk about some positives COVID has improved our sense of community, collaboration and cooperation Poll or Chat Think about the benefits of COVID ? -WFH -remote learning -greater flexibility -less commuting -less emissions -less stress -greater work/study/life balance
- Segueway… So, with all this disruption to the traditional education system, How do we – as educators – continue to deliver quality education ?
- I’d like to bring your attention to UN SDG #4 = Quality Education
- On same token, Moodle mission: empower educators to improve our world So, as Moodle educators – what can we learn from COVID - that will enable us to continue delivering quality education ?
- I believe there are 7 key pillars which form the foundation of quality education, whether it be face-to-face, blended or online. This is my model. Resources Communication Collaboration Assessment Accreditation Reporting Accessibility
- In line with the pillars of education, I’ve hand-picked 7 tools to facilitate remote learning with Moodle – 1 tool per pillar Poll or Chat Which of the following tools – are you most using ? H5P Forum Web conferencing Workshop Badges Learning analytics App
- Tool / H5P
- Tool / H5P An open-source content creation tool Easy to use Interactive Engaging People some times ask me, if they were to learn one content type – which provides best ROI ? – I recommend interactive video
- Tool / Forum
- For centuries, – the Forum was the centre of daily life in Ancient Rome The site of processions, elections, public speeches, criminal trials, commercial affairs & gladiatorial matches
- Likewise, in modern times, in Moodle, the forum is an essential place - for remote learners to: Ask questions, get answers, share ideas & help others I don’t know if you have ever noticed this?...every new Moodle course automatically gets one activity – it’s a forum
- Tool / Web conferencing This is about human connection. Even more important in these times - of isolation Share: voice, video, screen, chat, files, polls, recording etc. Poll or Chat Which web conferencing tool do you mostly use ? BBB Teams Zoom Other There are plugins for Moodle
- BBB / Open-source Browser not app Requires a web server
- Teams / App Requires subscription Integration with M365 and Moodle Skooler
- Zoom / App Integration with Moodle Requires (Business Plan) subscription
- Tool / Workshop
- Workshop is a peer assessment activity which fosters a sense of cooperation & interdependence Learners submit their work, then receive submissions from their peers – which they assess according to marking guide or rubric. 5 phases: Setup Submission Assessment Grading evaluation Close
- Tool / Badges How do you recognise & reward learner achievement? Badges are an easy way to incentivize learners When learners are motivated – they feel a stronger sense of purpose toward achieving a goal eg. completing a Moodle course or activity
- Tool / Learning analytics
- LA help educators make informed decisions about learning & learners With remote learning - this is especially important for educators - because we need to know whether (or not) our learners are engaged Identifying learners at risk of failure - enables educators to intervene via DM– in a timely manner
- Tool / App
- I don’t know if you are aware? 80% of global internet use – is mobile! And with the recent spike in remote learning, it can be predicted – MANY more learners will be accessing Moodle via mobile & tablet than desktop or laptop The app gives learners freedom & flexibility to access learning anywhere at anytime, without being bound to a classroom or office
- 7 Imperatives H5P. Create Forum. Initiate Web conferencing. Trial Workshop. Facilitate Badges. Issue Learning analytics. Enable App. Download
- In closing, COVID represents a major crisis for all of us. It’s a shared experience. As educators, we are ESSENTIAL WORKERS - in the front line – it is our duty to continue delivering quality education The OLD school model has been disrupted Are YOU willing to be COURAGEOUS ? [Pause] Then, embrace a NEW model of education - with innovative tools such as Moodle And YOU - will be the HERO
