The Revitalising Learning Program at UNE provides training and support resources to faculty and staff to assist with adopting the Moodle learning management system. Resources include Moodle 101 training, online design and development support, model Moodle courses, daily challenges, and help desks. A pilot program is being conducted in May for Trimester 2 with the Graduate School of Business. Content from the previous system will be imported in January-February and train-the-trainer sessions will be held in February to expand training support across disciplines from March through June.
Hacking the Faculty: Bringing Content Discovery Into Online Course DevelopmentAthena Hoeppner
Presentation given at Computers in Libraries, in April 2014.
Original Proposal/Abstract: Discovering resources is easier than ever, yet barriers remain for faculty trying to embed quality content into online courses. Course development tools are silo-ed away from content discovery systems, so faculty must leave the Learning Management System (LMS) to seek articles and e-books, then navigate back to the LMS to paste the link. They need to know how to identify persistent URLs and how to enable off-campus access. The process is tedious and fraught with pitfalls. At the University of Central Florida, the Library and the Center for Distributed Learning collaborated to integrate content discovery and selection seamlessly into course creation. The result, dubbed Library Tool, is presented as a simple icon in the LMS on the page-creation form. Library Tool opens a simple search form which returns a results list of full text articles. Faculty can add any article to their page with a single click. The Tool leverages the Learning Tools Interoperability (LTI) standards and EBSCO's API, which can be easily adapted by other institutions. The presenters will demonstrate the Library Tool in action and briefly describe the development process as well as an overview of the LTI standard and the EDS API. Finally, we will share preliminary usage and faculty response and will discuss options for future developments.

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.
This ppt file includes some of the most ubiquitous MOOC websites that can help provide training courses for educators, as well as opportunities for learners for educational development. Such websites promote the notion of autonomy, so learning becomes slef-paced.

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.

zkStudyClub - Reef: Fast Succinct Non-Interactive Zero-Knowledge Regex ProofsAlex Pruden
This paper presents Reef, a system for generating publicly verifiable succinct non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs that a committed document matches or does not match a regular expression. We describe applications such as proving the strength of passwords, the provenance of email despite redactions, the validity of oblivious DNS queries, and the existence of mutations in DNA. Reef supports the Perl Compatible Regular Expression syntax, including wildcards, alternation, ranges, capture groups, Kleene star, negations, and lookarounds. Reef introduces a new type of automata, Skipping Alternating Finite Automata (SAFA), that skips irrelevant parts of a document when producing proofs without undermining soundness, and instantiates SAFA with a lookup argument. Our experimental evaluation confirms that Reef can generate proofs for documents with 32M characters; the proofs are small and cheap to verify (under a second).

Editor's Notes
Revitalising Learning is a Program comprised of a number of Projects, of which Moodle is one.
A Program Advisory Board has been created in order to make decisions regarding the details of the Program. The Steering Committee makes decisions around the high level strategy of the program and the Program Advisory Board makes decisions around the details that will affect staff. Heads of Schools, Academics, Student Administration and Higher Degree staff make up the representatives on the board. Some decisions will be forwarded to relevant committees around the campus such as the Academic Board.
An expression of Interest for Moodle Mentors will be forwarded in coming weeks.
Strategies being used by the program to communicate with the UNE Community
Mention the ‘barebones’ moodle and the strategies to move forward.
Production environment set up on Netspot servers
Accessible by une staff to have a ‘look-see’
Access to sandpits, and online support information
Not yet ready for content import process (will begin in New Year)
Core systems integrated ready for May 2011, (bulk printing, enrolment, turnitin)
As we have two systems to manage, the content import process will involve two slightly different strategies:
The blackboard content will be transitioned in two stages:
Blackboard content will be placed in a Moodle ‘holding cell’.
Academics will be engaged in a workshop with the content from one of their units. They may attend additional workshops, or choose to continue the process with other units in their care. We have been assured by Netspot that BB test and quizzes will be be imported with no problems.
For Sakai Units, we are currently investigating strategies to transition the online tests and quizzes into the Moodle environment. We are liaising with the Sakai community to ensure that this creates minimal hassle for all staff concerned. The Materials Development staff in the TL have offered to help in the transition of Sakai modular content into the Moodle environment. Academics who currently use the Sakai environment will be linked with a Materials Development Officer to complete the content import process to their needs.
