  2. Aim of Project • Aim of project – to produce mobile learning materials for three curriculum areas, to be distributed via a Moodle Hub – hub being a network of two or more Moodle instances • Curriculum areas are • Complementary Therapies • Catering • Computing

  3. Mobile Devices • Conducting Survey of student devices • Key devices we assume are: • Ipods • Ipads • Smartphones • Android devices with small screens • Android tablets

  4. Format of Materials • Initial video • Key points list • Self-test questions

  5. 1. Initial Video Content • Handheld digital video recorders, home-made look • 1 – 2 minute clips, maximum of 2 minutes • Looked at Camtasiaand Captivate • Captivate (Version 6) sophisticated but outputs as Flash

  6. 1. Initial Video Content • Camtasia(Versions 7 or 8) outputs in wider range of formats with preset sizes: • Web – MPEG-4 (MP4) video • Ipad – ditto • IPhone/IPod – M4V • Allows us to add subtitles, captions etc. • Tested movies in Moodle. Setting important. • Embed was not a good choice for Android. • Download seems to be best choice – forces to play in player on machine • Quality in test materials seems good • Alternatives considered included Softchalk

  7. 2. Key Facts • Tried simply creating a web page in Moodle – bulleted list, worked well and displayed well on mobile devices • Had considered HTML/Flash authoring softwares, but key is to keep this replicable

  8. 3. Quizzes • Decided to go with the Moodle Quiz Engine – combined with Respondus • Looked at Wirenode (but pay now), and also Captivate and Camtasia • Respondus gets round complexity of Moodle quiz engine. Also allows lecturer to type questions on template • Tested Moodle quizzes on mobile devices and found they presented well • Realised better to turn off Flagging option on Moodle quizzes for mobile presentation • Allows tutor to check – reporting

  9. Workflow • The lecturer shoots video or is helped • We edit and produce video • Lecturer creates bullet list of key facts as Word doc – we add these to materials as html page • Lecturer submits self-assessment questions as Word templates in Respondus format, we upload these

  10. Moodle Hub • Tested Anniesland Cardonald, yet to test between 3 colleges • We have synchronised our versions of Moodle – 2.2.3 • Hub involves networking settings within Moodle, and sending public key. • Yet to test fully

  11. Where are We ? • Need to survey own students • Working on videos • Do testing on devices • Then test with students and evaluate • Produce guides and good practice materials • Have a blog at http://moodle2go.blogspot.co.uk/

  12. Underlying Principles • Simplicity of production • Snippets of materials and self-testing • Range of devices • Replicable • Using Moodle Hub

  13. Main Contacts • John Edmonstone • jedmonstone@cardonald.ac.uk • Kevan Scade • Kevan_Scade@anniesland.ac.uk • Iain Shaw • ishaw@langside.ac.uk
