Advantages of an Open LMS: Tying the World To MoodleKeith Landa
Presentation 24 May 2011 to the SUNY Delihi MoodleMoot 2011
We haven't tied the whole world to Moodle (except through the Map activity that we've added to bring in Google Maps functionality), but the ability of Moodle to be a central platform that we can integrate other functions into is an important part of our development efforts. This talk will present our experiences and lessons learned in integrating a variety of applications into our Moodle system, including: library support for classes; senior project submissions; streaming media services (Kaltura); e-portfolios (Mahara); and live classroom environments (Big Blue Button).

Moodle: using an open learning management system to support student learningKeith Landa
2010 SUNY Freedonia Teaching and Learning conference - "Universal Design for Learning: Accessible and Assistive Technologies to Enhance Student Learning"
Session description: Over the past 18 months, Purchase College has migrated from Blackboard to Moodle for our campus learning management system. Our decision was partially driven by the lower total costs for Moodle as an open source product and our desire to avoid the risks and lack of control associated with commercial applications. Our primary consideration however was that Moodle provides a pedagogically stronger learning platform, and its openness allows us to integrate it with other learning applications that faculty would like to use to promote student engagement.
This session will focus on the pedagogical aspects of Moodle as a learning platform. We will briefly discuss the process and findings Purchase College used to develop a consensus among faculty, students and technology staff to switch to Moodle. Participants will then spend the bulk of the session in a directed exploration of the diverse learning activities in Moodle that promote student engagement and learning, to facilitate discussion of how Moodle compares to ANGEL and Blackboard. We will examine examples of how Moodle’s open architecture allows it to integrate with external Web 2.0 applications, and finally discuss options for no-cost hosted Moodle solutions that will allow participants to evaluate Moodle for their campuses.
Developing a sustainable, student centred VLE: the OUNL case - Hermans, H & V...Steven Verjans
The Open University of the Netherlands (OUNL) has adopted the concept of the personal learning and working environment (PLWE) as the future delivery platform of its educational services to students. This concept means that students should be able to shape their own personal virtual (learning) environment, based on individual tool and technology preferences .
To support this concept the OUNL faces the challenge of setting up an architecture and investing in the development of a set of educational services that can be integrated not only in the institutional learning environment, but that can also be merged with personal environments.
In this presentation we describe the first steps of a distance teaching university in its move towards this PLWE concept. This means reconsidering the role and position of the current, more traditional VLE, and developing new educational services that aim at getting students more committed and involved, inspired by the success of current web2.0 technology.

Current CSU LMS Activities: Campus and Systemwide StrategiesJohn Whitmer, Ed.D.
In this webinar from April 2010, Dr. David Levin from CSU Northridge and Dr. Linda Scott from CSU San Marcos spoke about their campus migrations from Blackboard to Moodle. They discussed the decision-making process on their campus, their timeline, course migrations, implementations, training and support resources, and lessons learned.
Kathy Fernandes and John Whitmer spoke about the Chancellor’s Office Initiative to provide systemwide LMS Services. These services began with the LMS RFP and CSU Sandboxes, and were expanded to provide an LMS “safety net” and a “superset” of LMS services that include systems, integrations, migrations, support services, and educational practices.
Participants will learn about these current efforts and plans for the implementation of the LMS recommendations approved by the CSU Academic Technology Steering Committee in December 2009.
