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
Aim of Project
Conducting Survey of student devices Key devices we assume are:
◦ Ipods ◦ Ipads ◦ Smartphones◦ Android devices with small screens ◦ Android tablets
Mobile Devices
1. Initial video2. Key points list3. Self-test questions
Format of Materials
Handheld digital video recorders, home-made look
1 – 2 minute clips, maximum of 2 minutes
Looked at Camtasia and CaptivateCaptivate (Version 6) sophisticated but outputs as Flash
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
1. Initial Video Content
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
2. Key Facts
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
3. Quizzes
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
Workflow
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
Moodle Hub
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/
Where are We ?
Simplicity of production Snippets of materials and self-testing Range of devices Replicable Using Moodle Hub
