The Future of Moodle and How Not to Stop ItHans de Zwart
There has been a lot of discussion lately about whether the VLE is dead and what should come in its place. This presentations tries to see how the main points in this debate reflect on Moodle.
A re-work of the Wimba Voice session. This hasn't been tested with a full group, so may yet change (to be fair, any can be changed, learning is a continuous process...)

Content designers want highly customized learning content, but that requires a developer to create custom HTML/CSS/JavaScript for each course. And this causes developers to spend too much time copying and pasting content and applying the HTML markup instead of focusing on developing the functionality. The solution is the Adapt authoring tool. This tool allows developers to create tools that content designers can use to deliver content.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Hosting a dynamic blog - a paradigm shift of collaborative knowledge construction by applying WordPress themes and plug-ins
1. CITE Research Symposium 2010
Mike H.L. Chui
mikechui@ied.edu.hk
The Hong Kong Institute of Education
2. Students have experience on using CMS/ LMS but they
have little governance on the functions
Little chance to tailor for pedagogical purposes
Students generally perceive administering on the
server side is difficult
Dynamic data exchange: PHP + Apache server + MySQL
database
ICT industry rarely designs tools for specific
pedagogical applications (Muwanga-Zake, Parkes and
Gregory, 2010)
3. Free Web hosting services blogs as e-portfolios
Easy setup at the server side is the KEY
Installing blog platform
Easy setup and maintenance (WordPress)
Easy add/ remove features (Plug-ins)
Aesthetic considerations (Themes)
4. An experimental study +focus group (proposed)
Population
FT PGDE(S) – 2009-2010 (128 students)
43 out of 128 students voluntarily are participating the study , from the second
semester of 2009/2010
Student-teachers (STs) are advised to 1) download the learning material; 2)
complete the self-evaluation checklist; and 3) post issues encountered
from instructor’s Moodle system
Totally 8 weeks will be involved (ongoing since Feb 2010)
STs are advised to 1) apply WordPress blog during the teaching practice;
and 2) write a reflection afterward
A questionnaire will be adopted for this blended learning initiative at the
end of 8 weeks
Students might be invited for the focus group for in-depth interview
5. Week 1: Installing WordPress
register a free Web space
change theme
post message
Week 2: Basic customisation
adding plug-ins and themes (FTP)
updating plug-ins from dashboard
understanding WordPress security basics
Week 3: Managing widgets in dashboard for learning
Week 4: Introducing plug-in for pedagogical applications (part1)
Week 5: Introducing plug-in for pedagogical applications (part2)
Week 6: Exporting and importing blog posts – knowledge management
Week 7: Managing learning materials in WordPress with your students
Week 8: Sharing experience on selecting plug-ins and theme customisation
for better communication
6. Learning is defined as a basic, adaptive function of
human (Bransford et al., 1999)
Steve Jobs proposed 7 key tasks of people in iPad
keynote (Jan 27, 2010):
Browsing (Web browsing)
Email
Photos (Enjoying and sharing photographs)
Video (Video, watch videos)
Music (Enjoy your music collections)
Games (Playing games)

Could the tasks be transformed to “Learning”?
How “Learning” can be actualised by blog?
7. 7 key tasks of people Learning with blog
