- 16. Could be viewed by all students, or if not viewed by all students, had to have a field for the student’s name. May still have been a viable option… Database activity
- 17. Wiki activity Pros Individual mode = Page for each student enrolled Groups mode visible = Each tutor could quickly see their own students History tab = Version control Online = Accessible from phone, tablet or laptop Cons Exporting information – still unresolved (but can be printed) Consistent data formatting – just not possible

- 22. Three takeaways… 1. Permissions and roles in Moodle give you a ton of flexibility – explore them! 2. Understand your purpose clearly as you start brainstorming solutions – it will save you time and pain in the long run! 3. Know that a solution is possible.

Editor's Notes
- Australian College of Nursing offers a diverse range of courses, in face-to-face, distance and online formats – but we’re moving towards the majority of courses being online… We’re made up of a core of course and subject coordinators, with a community of tutors that provide ongoing support to our students. These people have facilitated our courses in both face-to-face and distance formats, and are now moving with us into the online learning space.
- Our face-to-face and distance format courses were very much paper based, so we had a paper Student Progress Record. Essentially, the front page had the marks for each assessment task, and the back was a space for comments.
- The front page of the paper based SPR was used to record grades and marking information
- This has now been replaced with CNnect’s Grader Report.
- In transitioning to Moodle, the function of the front page of our Student Progress Report was (almost inadvertently!) taken care of by the Grader report… But how could we accommodate the function of the back page with an online tool?

- https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1qGZPJ2n6gm3WUrG2PXHJqfvnySDl23m6QBwjtDx7A5o/viewform?usp=send_form
- A great tool, and our Moodle forces users to receive messages to their email accounts and as pop-ups (both logged out and logged in). But… Students (and tutors) were still emailing folks privately, and replying to messages from Moodle directly back to the sender’s email account.
- Tracks times and dates, but not always the details of the interactions we were after.
- Allows the educator to keep progress notes on a student, but also allowed fellow educators to edit those notes, with no version control path of what had been changed. Rather a problem for auditing and student management purposes!
- Being accessible online has meant our tutors can access the online SPR anytime, anywhere – including right after they’ve had a phone call with a student. We are seeing an increase in detail regarding student-tutor interactions, and positive feedback from tutors on ease of use. Furthermore, because we’re not waiting until the end of the teaching period to receive the record, our subject and course coordinators have greater insight into when a student may be at risk of withdrawing, deferring or failing a subject – assisting us to be more supportive, sooner!
- Previous experience had demonstrated a need for this tool to be rolled out in a uniform manner, and in such a way that educators could not edit it (in particular, accidentally show it to students!). Permissions were pruned!!
- The aim of these permissions was to give the tutors what they needed to write up progress on each student’s page, and the subject coordinators access to comment on the record if needed, in a space the tutors couldn’t access (comments). The subject coordinators also needed to be restricted from deleting or displaying the activity to students (common sense internet behaviour still applies for tutors).
- We’ve been running this since February, and the first semester finished last week – however our short courses (month long) have been using it with improvement. Tutors are now giving more information, although there’s still a bit to be done to clarify purpose with them.
- But test in a safe space so you don’t freak out your staff and students Preferably write the purpose and requirements down clearly and concisely – short term, mid-term and long term if you can. A No is sometimes a Maybe in disguise, and a Yes sometimes pretends to be a Maybe!
