Moodle2Go A JISC FE Resources Project
Personnel • John Edmonstone • Cardonald College • Kevan Scade • Anniesland College • Iain Shaw • Langside College • David Hannah • Langside College
Project Outline • A mobile learning resources project • Creating mobile-friendly resources to be distributed to students’ personal devices • Easily replicable and scaleable • Distribution of materials - experimenting with Moodle hub as distribution tool between 3 colleges (and as a possible sectoral model)
1. Mobile Learning Resources • Range of curriculum areas selected across 3 partner colleges • Complementary Therapies • Sports • Horticulture and Computing • Materials aimed at reinforcement of practical learning • Short video demonstrations • Key points flashcards • Self assessment quizzes
2. Creating mobile-friendly resources to be distributed to students’ personal devices • Authored to be accessible to a broad range of mobile devices • Surveyed 350+ students across 3 colleges – device ownership/preference …. and is it worthwhile? • Experimented with video formats & quiz authoring tools on a range of test devices/network connections • Settled on MP4 as the widest accessible video format for all kinds of mobile devices • Also currently experimenting with outputting from Camtasia using HTML5
3. Easily replicable and scaleable • Used a range of standard/easily affordable software and utilities • Camtasia studio 8 • Respondus – and Moodle Quiz • Moodle mobile theme • Other softwares considered • Softchalk • Captivate • Wirenode
4. Distribution of materials • All courses made accessible to learners through Moodle • Used Moodle networking to share courses between 3 separate instances of Moodle in 3 institutions • Now entering final testing phase for students
Key lessons so far…negatives • Moodle networking inefficient distribution model • Difficult to find video formats that work equally well on all devices (without need for extra apps…) • Network speeds limit video size
Key lessons so far…positives • Students respond well to format • BYOD model works well • Co-operative models for authoring of materials across institutions effective
