 I thought I'd give you a quick overview about me before we jump straight into the presentation. I have had a very long-term relationship with Moodle when I started to think about it this morning. In fact, it might be one of my longest standing relationships. I'm just about young enough to have learnt using Moodle, so I used it in my college days and then became a college tutor, so I was forced to use Moodle in a different manner as an educator, and then, since then, have gone to various roles in corporate organisations in an L&D role, so have again used not always Moodle, but Moodle has been in and out of my kind of working life. Recently joined Catalyst IT, so now have a huge involvement with Moodle, with many of the clients we work with. I wanted to talk to you today, so when I was asked to present at Moodle, I sort of thought, well, I'm quite new to Catalyst. What can I talk about that is relevant to the Moodle Mood community? I started to think about how when I look back at my use of Moodle, sometimes some of it was a little bit painful, particularly in the configuration or in the kind of making sure that everything was consistent and nice and attractive. I wanted to show you something that we've put together for one of our customers that really simplifies the course creation process and standardises that the course sort of view and course look and feel at the end of that. Obviously everything that we tend to work through is essentially presented to us as a challenge. We have a need, we have a challenge, and the challenge that I'm going to talk about today is essentially to empower everybody to have or to be able to create Moodle courses. When you boil that down, you think, great, give them all Moodle administrator access, job done, see you later. It's not actually that easy, usually particularly if you want to have some control over the kind of content that's being presented through your Moodle and also the end user experience upon that content. Essentially here you can see the sort of challenge that was set to us. I think it's fair to say that most Moodle content is usually created by a Moodle admin or a similar role, and they've usually had some training or some onboarding or upskilling in order to perform that role. It's sort of technical, there's some technical lingo in some of those sort of forms that you have to complete. To set the scene, the use for this Moodle that I'm going to show you in a moment is following on from Paul Stevens' conference if you were here earlier or talk earlier. It's for a humanitarian organisation who are delivering learning in disaster zones, war zones, areas of little or low bandwidth, so we talked about offline earlier. Essentially the subject matter experts are the people we want creating that content and there's lots of them and they're out there and we don't necessarily have the means to bring them all in and train them how to create Moodle courses. So we needed to ensure that very quickly somebody could learn how to do so. Also just a final note on here that a lot of this content is being generated in multiple languages and there's quite a few various formats of content and so again it would be a very unwieldly task for sort of one or two people to try and maintain. So we looked at the challenge that was presented to us and we actually identified that there were three kind of areas that we needed to focus. One was the course creation process and so essentially you can see on my bullet points up here when creating the new course the page presented with is quite technical or confusing sometimes and there is a large margin for inconsistency or error in the sort of standard Moodle course creation page. The number of configurable options, we almost countered them earlier but we sort of run out of counting time so we'll say tens of configurable options and lots of sort of various setups that you can do in that form. And of course also you want to be able to ensure that some mandatory information on mandatory fields are completed in the course creation form and that can also be a bit of a sort of a pain point for some course creators particularly if they're new to the course creation process in Moodle. And the potential for variation in your end sort of course if you like is large. This also led in to another sort of requirement or challenge within the overall challenge and that was to present a very very clear and attractive catalogue based on essentially the design was sort of almost a carbon copy of the eBay catalogue which you'll see in a moment. But again if you're having multiple course creators creating content it's very difficult to ensure that your course catalogue is absolutely consistent and designed consistently. And we also wanted to try and use a number of visual prompts or symbols to try and convey information quickly from the course information that was presented. And finally and it's great because we've heard about it quite a lot over the past two days particularly in the keynotes but improving the search functionality. Both the search that's included within Moodle but also the search or the findability if you like of this content on the worldwide web so ensuring that internal search was improved or further sort of developed but also that Google for instance could find it. So what I'm going to do is I'm just going to run you through some screenshots of what we put together to support this simplified course creation process. I'm a bit concerned that the Moodle theme is blue and I know that this has had a bit of a wash out on blue so I might find myself describing some stuff. But in short to meet the challenge we built a course publishing workflow kind of a next, next, next click through experience for the end user which almost led your hand into completing the required or mandatory fields ready to present in a consistent catalogue. We styled the catalogue on the eBay catalogue and integrated solar open source search to reap some of the benefits that are included there. So can you see it? So one of the first things we did was we outlined what are the course formats or course content types if you like that you want to be able to publish, that you want your course creators to be able to publish. And we've identified here that there are seven or six at this stage, eight at this stage. So you've got kind of audio content and external learning piece of content and event. You can see Scorm down here in the bottom left if you want to add Scorm package, Skillsoft, they have an account of Skillsoft and so on. So very simple for a course creator to just pick the content they want to publish and you'll notice now that we enter a kind of a tabbed. Can you see it? Okay. There are tabs over where you can see overview. And the tabs say overview, classification, certificate, evaluation and availability. I'm just going to run through those tabs. So the first tab that you can see here is the overview tab. And this is just your summary text, the name of your course, the sort of basic detail that needs to be presented on your course information. And over on the right hand side, the one that I'm running you through here is actually a Scorm package. So in the screenshot on the right hand side you've got the normal drag and drop space where you can drop your Scorm package into the course creator wizard and various other sort of further information fields and so on. I'm just going to jump to the next tab. So the next tab, the user just clicks along and the tabs, the next tab is classifications. Now this becomes quite relevant later on when we look at the course catalogue that we present because the classifications are like your filters. And so the course creator can now look at all of the various filters that they would like this course to be found or applied to find this course. There's a number of sort of classification topics. You've got the format, the language, the provider. Now they do not want to be the only sort of humanitarian organisation who are providing content. So the idea is that many humanitarian organisations could serve crisis or aid content through this platform. So they can be added as providers, as I say, language, location and any competencies that this course will achieve. They're just tick boxes or radio buttons and then the user can move to the next tab which is the certificate tab and so they then have the option to present a certificate upon completion of this course. So this is the standard certificate stuff that's within Moodle but again just added to this tabbed publishing workflow approach. Sort of a next, next, next. You can upload your certificate to this space and we've got the save and next button at the bottom. And then the final tab that we get is availability. Now this ties into the talk that Paul gave earlier because there's only a few content types that are available in our offline player or in the offline player. And so at this point you're able to select whether this content will be available in the offline player and whether it's sort of responsive for a tablet screen and so on. So standardise is that next, next, next. At this point the course is kind of submitted but to be approved. Now in discussions at the moment so far when they click submit it just goes live but it's a configurable option and at the moment this organisation have chosen content to just be published but we have implemented a step that would enable a central approval team if you like to come in and approve that content before making it publicly visible. But at this time it begins to be indexed by the searches and so on. So how did it go? Again you probably can't see that. Of course catalogue. Basically it's eBay in blue if you like but you can see that it's very standard. We've got a great graphic on every course. You can see some coloured prompts so below these graphics you can see greens and blues and yellows and they relate to the topic that that course is and you can also see down the left hand side that we've got the topics that were applied earlier and the filters so as we can filter throughout the catalogue content relevant to our language our region or maybe a particular type of crisis or aid requirement. Again there's some symbols that are presented at the bottom in these blue bars the very bottom one you'll notice a symbol on the very far right hand side which suggests that that course can be taken offline and then we've also placed in a course information page so when you click through from the catalogue it's presented with a full course information page which again is all consistently designed and applied according to the publishing workflow and the information that was added and is also fully indexed by the worldwide web search engines or such as Google let's say. The visual prompts are repeated we have a block region in the right hand side which we apply a Google translate block so very easy to provide standard courses. So how has that sort of what is the results for so far? So it was a very soft launch and it's sort of ramping up it's been live for roughly two months in terms of fully live and at the moment there are about 30 users in the platform that have the course publishing rights it's still not that everybody has publishing rights you do need to gain permission to publish content and it's a role and so there are 30 people with that role 80 courses are live on the platform five languages and you actually saw a heat map presented in the previous presentation of you were here it's currently being interacted with across 146 or more countries this was submitted a week or two back and then we talked today about the future and there's a great idea that's coming from this client of ours which is to essentially create a course within the platform that presents or prepares you to use the publishing workflow and the completion of which provides you with publishing rights or the publishing role so a self-serving onboarding experience if you like and then ensuring that the subject matter experts who are out there in the field can get on and create you know critical course content that's it, thank you
