A presentation from the NJEDge.Net Faculty Best Practices Showcase in March 2007 on NJIT's pilot program using Moodle as a learning management system and examining the open source and "free" aspects of Moodle and the support needed to implement it on a campus.
This document provides an overview of e-learning and the Moodle learning management system (LMS). It defines e-learning as learning utilizing electronic technologies to access educational content outside of a traditional classroom. The document discusses the evolution of e-learning from videos and computer-based training to modern approaches that blend online and in-person learning. It also introduces Moodle as an open-source LMS that allows for content management, communication, collaboration, and evaluation in online learning environments. Moodle provides a free and customizable platform for e-learning applications like compliance training, online courses, and communities of practice.
How are you using Moodle? Posting resources and announcements? Collecting assignments? Launching SCORM content? In a typical course, these activities are all you see, which means there are many Moodlers who are missing out on some of Moodleโs best features!
Moodle is an online learning management system (LMS) that allows for rich interaction between teachers and learners. It will be replacing SharePoint as the new LMS for learning next year. Moodle provides a platform for organizing courses with different activities, resources, and tools to store, communicate, collaborate, and evaluate course content. Teachers will have focus groups to provide input on setting up the new Moodle site and are encouraged to try out the beta version.
Moodle is an open-source learning management system (LMS) that is used by educational institutions and companies for e-learning and online training. It provides features like content uploading, tracking, discussion forums, and customizable looks. While Moodle is free to use, organizations need to invest in hosting, customization, reporting, course set-up, training, and potentially bespoke modules.

The talk was give at The International STACK User Group Meeting in Edinburgh on Tuesday 30 April 2019.
This document discusses the use of quizzes and embedded questions within the Moodle learning management system at the Open University. It provides statistics on quiz usage which has increased substantially in recent years. Over 650,000 quiz attempts are made on module websites each year. The document introduces new features for embedding questions anywhere within a course and creating randomized questions. It also describes the StudentQuiz module, which allows students to create and manage their own quizzes to support peer learning. Future enhancements discussed include adding question randomization, keeping student responses, and mobile app support.

MUC (Moodle Universal Cache) is a caching system that allows storing and retrieving frequently accessed data to improve performance. It supports storing cached data in different backends like Memcache, Redis. The cache stores derived data identified by keys rather than real data. Developers can define different caches for application-wide, session-specific, or request-specific data. It provides APIs to get, set, delete cached data and clear caches. Data sources can be defined to load data if not found in cache. Cache administration tools allow monitoring cached data. Some issues include Memcache purging wiping all caches and complex keys hurting performance.
I wish I could believe you: the frustrating unreliability of some assessment ...Tim Hunt
ย
The document discusses several issues with assessing the reliability of educational research. It notes that while some studies find positive correlations, such as practice tests improving performance, correlation does not prove causation. Confounding variables can also influence results if not properly controlled for. True experiments aim to minimize confounding factors by randomly assigning participants to control and treatment groups. However, some caution that educational experiments need to maintain real-world relevance. While student surveys often express positive attitudes, their actual behaviors may differ, so multiple measures are preferable to self-reports alone. The document also raises ethical considerations around only giving interventions to some students.
This document discusses how the Open University uses Moodle quizzes and how they help students. It notes that quizzes are a major part of assessment and that analyzing quiz data provides insights into student learning. Completing quizzes and interactive computer-marked assignments is linked to higher completion rates and exam scores. While computers cannot fully replace teachers, they can effectively grade short answers, math problems, and code with high accuracy. The quizzes provide formative and summative assessment that support learning when combined with analysis of student performance.
The Moodle Quiz at the Open University: how we use it & how that helps studentsTim Hunt
ย
The document discusses how the Open University uses Moodle quizzes and how they help students. It presents data from several modules that shows completing quizzes and interactive computer-marked assignments (iCMAs) correlates with higher exam scores and module completion rates. The university has also found that computers can accurately automatically grade questions beyond just multiple choice through advances in computational linguistics and pattern matching.
Moodleโs building blocks for eAssessment toolsTim Hunt
ย
The document discusses Moodle's building blocks for eAssessment tools. It describes various question behaviors, types, and display options that can be combined to create many different assessment activities. Specifically, it outlines interactive question behaviors with multiple tries and feedback options, as well as question types involving entering text, numbers, selections, and positioning of objects. The goal is to have a flexible system where these various blocks can be assembled to build a wide range of assessments, beyond just traditional quizzes.
Decolonizing Universal Design for LearningFrederic Fovet
ย
UDL has gained in popularity over the last decade both in the K-12 and the post-secondary sectors. The usefulness of UDL to create inclusive learning experiences for the full array of diverse learners has been well documented in the literature, and there is now increasing scholarship examining the process of integrating UDL strategically across organisations. One concern, however, remains under-reported and under-researched. Much of the scholarship on UDL ironically remains while and Eurocentric. Even if UDL, as a discourse, considers the decolonization of the curriculum, it is abundantly clear that the research and advocacy related to UDL originates almost exclusively from the Global North and from a Euro-Caucasian authorship. It is argued that it is high time for the way UDL has been monopolized by Global North scholars and practitioners to be challenged. Voices discussing and framing UDL, from the Global South and Indigenous communities, must be amplified and showcased in order to rectify this glaring imbalance and contradiction.
This session represents an opportunity for the author to reflect on a volume he has just finished editing entitled Decolonizing UDL and to highlight and share insights into the key innovations, promising practices, and calls for change, originating from the Global South and Indigenous Communities, that have woven the canvas of this book. The session seeks to create a space for critical dialogue, for the challenging of existing power dynamics within the UDL scholarship, and for the emergence of transformative voices from underrepresented communities. The workshop will use the UDL principles scrupulously to engage participants in diverse ways (challenging single story approaches to the narrative that surrounds UDL implementation) , as well as offer multiple means of action and expression for them to gain ownership over the key themes and concerns of the session (by encouraging a broad range of interventions, contributions, and stances).
