Moodle Development May 2011
View more presentations from Martin Dougiamas
Martin gives some great stats and shows how moodle has ballooned around the world in many different languages and how it is being used by many corporates - I'd love to see this!!?
The slide titled Pedagogical Progression (slide 8) shows 10 steps that teachers go through on their moodle journey. This made me evaluate my own use and my workshops with teachers. The first step for teachers is mirroring their home drive and then adding multimedia which is an enormous step for the majority of teachers. After this I try and encourage some thinking about engaging students and building communities using quiz, forum and assignment. I'm not sure about the points 9 and 10 for secondary schools?? perhaps I'll change my mind with further use.
The planned major releases for moodle show a real strength in its development and it looks like there are some good things on the way. With further polishing of the UI and of course there is now an App for Moodle!
When trying to save in moodle 2 the hubs are introduced. The prospect of having different repositories for me, the school, web 2.0 sites and the local community are immense I can't wait to see where this goes. Of course some of this integrates into Mahara too!
