Great use of Moodle - Otago Polytechnic WorkshopDavid Sturrock
Slides supporting an introductory workshop on deciding how to use Moodle for blended learning. Includes levels of blends and a metaphor of Moodle as an airport
Lewis Carr will teach you how to create and automate your end of year rollover strategy and procedures using core Moodle and a few simple CSV files.
This presentation will teach you the secret tricks of the trade to archive your current courses, retain student work and create your new courses for the start of term. Save yourselves hours of administration time every summer and reduce the need to keep separate server instances each year.
In September 2010, the University of Montreal decided that the institutional platform would be Moodle 2.0. In January 2011, around 15 courses with groups of 20 to 60 students are given and a course site is automatically created for each teacher in charge of a section during the session. This represents more than 2000 course sites. The idea is to give the opportunity to all the teachers who wish it to explore Moodle 2.0, to learn and to begin creating their first courses. This big scale opening’s intention is to generate enthusiasm among users and a strong adhesion of the teaching community. During this conference we will present what we have put in place to achieve this challenge, the resources produced, the discoveries made, the problems met and the observations done.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Moodle as the central hub of learning with tools plugged in –learning tool interoperability
1. “Moodle as the Central Hub of
Learning with Tools Plugged in ”
Learning Tool Interoperability
Presented at Moodlemoot Madrid 2012
Gavin Henrick – Juan Leyva
2. Where does the LMS sit?
• Larger Learning Ecosystem than before
• Learning can happen everywhere
• Many specialist applications and tools and
activities and content
• The LMS cannot be everything
• Need to facilitate integration with all these
other systems
3. The old challenge
• Each application needs to create LMS specific
integrations
• Always updating/recoding that integration
with each release of each LMS version
• On-going debugging / patching
• Multiple user interfaces to the same system
• Complex support
4. A solution?
• One integration methodology
• All suitable LMS will work with it
• Can update the application without interfering
with or considering the LMS code
• Can write the tool/activity in any language as
long as it is compliant – language of LMS does
not matter
6. Who are the IMS?
The IMS Global Learning Consortium (IMS
GLC) is a global, nonprofit, member
organization that strives to enable the
growth and impact of learning technology
in the education and corporate learning
sectors worldwide.
7. The Mission
Your mission if you choose to accept it is to
• Develop a standard way of integrating
learning applications with learning
platforms
• Enable a seamless user experience
between the systems
• Enabling real-time user account creation
and authentication, and allow grades be
transferred back to the LMS
8. Why IMS LTI?
“Allow the seamless connection of web-based,
externally hosted applications and content, or
Tools to platforms that present them to users”
9. So what does this mean?
• Standard way of integrating learning
applications with learning platforms
• Applications – Tool Provider
• Platforms(LMS) – Tool Consumers
• Consumer & Provider exchange data to
facilitate the seamless experience
15. Example 1
• Expanding the ecosystem of tools beyond the
LMS for best of breed tools
– Wordpress for bloggin
– Mediawiki for co-creation of content
– ELGG eportfolio
– Joomla for website creation
–…
16. Example 2
• Cross department / institution/ organisation
use of the 1 tool
– Implementation of a centralised questionnaire for
students in many institutions
• No need to collate data from all locations
• Manages authentication securely so known source of
input
• Can provide each “teacher” from other courses access
to produce reports..
17. Example 3
• Use of a Tool to deliver standardised features
(content or activities) centrally to many clients
– Development and provision of a course for
consumption by many organisations
• No need to distribute for many systems
• Update once and available to all
• Report on all centrally
• No extra admin for managing enrolments
19. LTI Provider Background..
• Author: Juan Leyva
• Released Jan 2012
• Supports Moodle 2.0, 2.1, 2.2
• A local plugin
• Provide access to full courses or single
activities.
