Presentation for ACPET webinar for RTOs getting started with Moodle. The live session explores:
• understand the options available to RTOs to deliver part or all learning online
• understand how Moodle is integral to a blended learning strategy
• getting courses up and running with implementing Moodle
• options for hosting
• understand how resources and activities are created and distributed to learners
• how to teach and assess using Moodle
• implications for RTO resources, staffing and support
• reporting
• integration with other RTO systems
Some basic information MOOC, a new concept in learning. This was presented on 26th of June at Brasov Tech Meetup at Kronwell Hotel.
It also contains some interesting references from people involved in creating MOOCs or from some MOOC providers like Udacity, Coursera.

This paper / presentation outlines a the practical solution, pitfalls and problems encountered over a two month period during the migration to a Moodle 2.3 server for the looming deadline that is the start of the academic year in September 2012.
Presented by Kyle Goslin and Daniel McSweeney at http://moodlemoot.ie
These activities are a structured series of activities to induct online learners into processes, roles and VLE activity types for online learning. The focus is on study and research skills with readings that are broadly relevant to social sciences but could easily be swapped for subject-specific papers or more generic papers. Likewise the wiki activities focus on study skills and critical thinking (again with a social science flavour to them).

I will thus very briefly outline the use of Systemic Functional Language theory and demonstrate the downloadable example Moodle materials. I will also propose that an opportunity might exist to employ this alternative "functional grammar" in a constructional approach to the design of e-learning language modules. The demonstration materials have been successfully used with SEN students in a small Swiss foundation school for learners who have faced difficulties using more traditional approaches. Use or adaption of the materials does not require deep theoretical study and the demos can be readily used as presented.

Integrating SAIP with Moodle using LIS - HEUG EMEA 2013Psydev
Slides from Phil Nicholl's presentation to the HEUG EMEA conference in London on 10th Oct 2013. Looking at how to integrate PeopleSoft Campus Solutions with Moodle using SAIP and Learning Information Services (LIS)
Making the transition from the traditionally teacher-centered classroom to a student-centered E-learning platform can be quite intimidating for both teachers and school administrators. Further complications can occur when deciding which platform to use (software), how to deliver the platform to the students (hardware and hosting), as well as the costs of implementing an E-learning program. The E-learning platform, Moodle, is an obvious choice for institutions that are interested in creating a low cost, yet robust program that is customizable to their specific needs. The presenter will share their own experiences with running a Moodle and installing the MoodleReader Module (Kyoto Sangyo University) for an extensive reading program with graded readers. Student logs, number of book quizzes passed, and student comments will be offered as evidence. If internet access is available, participants will be encouraged to access a Moodle firsthand and explore an example course.

0x01 - Newton's Third Law: Static vs. Dynamic AbusersOWASP Beja
f you offer a service on the web, odds are that someone will abuse it. Be it an API, a SaaS, a PaaS, or even a static website, someone somewhere will try to figure out a way to use it to their own needs. In this talk we'll compare measures that are effective against static attackers and how to battle a dynamic attacker who adapts to your counter-measures.
About the Speaker
===============
Diogo Sousa, Engineering Manager @ Canonical
An opinionated individual with an interest in cryptography and its intersection with secure software development.
2. Contents
• What is The Open Science Laboratory?
• Demo
• How did we make Moodle look like that?
• Why use Moodle rather than custom development?
3. The Open Science Laboratory
• Platform / portal that contains and links to science
experiments (simulations, activities, real experiments).
• Open to the general public: https://learn5.open.ac.uk/
–Also used for some OU modules
• Implemented in Moodle
–Same code as main OU VLE
–Code not publicly released
• Looks a bit different!
4. Demo
• This is a Moodle course page
–Spot the standard Moodle behaviour!
• Main page
• Categorisation, filtering
• Experiment page
• Hosted experiment
• Analytics
• External experiments (link, iframe)
11. Moodle customisation plugins
• Theme
–CSS styling, header and footer, and hacks
• Course format
–Control display of course page
• Block
–Box appears on another page
• All three can have their own PHP pages too!
12. Course format
Moodle course
page
Experiment
summary
Lorem ipsum whatever thingy
Sic dolor something whatever
Lorem blah why this again
Another thingy lorem blah
Additional section data
• Pictures
• Metadata
API functions
• List sections, etc.
Settings
13. Blocks
• Custom blocks for the metadata filtering
• Most of the hard work done in format code
• No blocks on experiment summary page
–Pseudoblocks (from course format)
15. Modules
• Two new custom modules (not public, sorry!)
• HTML Activity module
–Similar to SCORM module
–Displays client-side activities, with some server-side
features available through API
• Booking system
–Telescope control system – one at a time
–Need to book slots
16. Why use Moodle?
• We wrote quite a lot of new code
• Why use Moodle at all if it’s so different?
17. Benefits for TOSL
• Reused components from our main Moodle-based VLE
–News block (public)
–Textbook-style content display (OU Content)
–HTML activity system
–Forum, wikis, workshop, etc. if required
• Benefit from updates to these features
–Even if no TOSL development currently funded
18. Process benefits
• Developer familiarity
• Administrator familiarity (e.g. troubleshooting)
• Same VLE codebase
–Updates, security patches, etc. all done for us
19. Benefits for main OU VLE
• HTML Activity standalone display module
–Previously could only put them in textbook content
• Analytics from HTML activities
–Not yet turned on for main system (performance
concerns) but might be if needed
• Booking system
–May be useful for voice conferencing
20. Disadvantages
• Constant platform changes
–OU moves to new Moodle version every 6 months
–Need to check and update all custom plugins
21. Credits
• I’m only the lead developer of the platform part
• TDs: Ray Guo, Bryan Waddington
• Graphic design: Matt Rigby-Burr
• Science faculty, project managers, etc.
• Other developers did the actual content!
22. Conclusion
• Dramatically change Moodle interface and appearance
by developing a custom course format and theme
–I often hear: ‘we don’t like using Moodle for our site
because it’s not pretty’
• Get a grip
• OK then, we can make it pretty
• If your main system is Moodle, there are benefits in
using Moodle for related systems where possible
