 All right, I think let's get started because the longer we wait then it's you're gonna push more sessions later and later Let's get started. And I think everybody's I can see the numbers going up. So it looks like people are joining as we speak So Okay, thank you. Yeah, thank you Fiona. All right, so Yeah, hi friends and a very good morning to all of you and so I'm basically from Tamarin tree and I've been a facilitator in Tamarin tree since the last three and a half months and Prior to joining I was working in a corporate in you know in accounting and finance and data analysis Hi Deepak and you know business analysis and this kind of an environment and I chose to You know join Tamarin tree because it's a school and it's a school for the underprivileged and the marginalized community And it was technology based. So I had worked on ERP systems for my accounting and finance and analysis I thought this would be a good sort of a continuity into that domain of ERP systems and all that I like So I joined this school and it's based on moodle and it uses other open source technologies completely all open source and it was something new to me and I Would wonder that how is it all happening on this web-based ERP called moodle and the main the main question The main the main question of this presentation that I had is the doubt that I had before joining Myself yes, Chirag and all of you know so basically it's about my wrist with moodle It's from being a skeptic to believer in this pretty short time because of what I've experienced and of course It's a long journey to explore moodle and to understand its dynamics and but yes in this In this particular in this particular presentation all I'm taking care of is to address the doubt that I had when I started This is a primary school and it's a school for the underprivileged and this kind of community and It starts with a doubt that can it can this entire primary school, you know up to you know Students up to the age of like I had heard moodle was there in universities and also like can this entire school run purely on these kind Of technologies and primarily on moodle and what about this traditional whole schooling that I went through and how is it being taken care here? So I was a digital facilitator I had to hold meetings with the child is what I was told and I would participate in cost creation and these kind of things But my concerns were still not addressed and I would like okay. I need to be patient and I'll figure out So what what are we going to do in this little presentation here is I've? In this in this section all I've taken so I had these questions first is in Where is the teacher? I'm addressing the point that what about content delivery the questions I had in terms of my experiences that I had in school in terms of my teacher delivering Instructing her teaching strategies the feedback and all those things that I had in real time with my teacher What about that second part in collaboration in terms of what I had in my school in terms of my collaboration and my Interactions with my friends and those kind of activities. What about that in this school though? These are my questions and last about assessments, okay? I knew that it's possible to have these quizzes with MCQs and fill in the blanks and all but there were you know More different kind of assessments that we had to test different cognitive abilities in my school that I would wonder how is it being taken care here and last I'm going to talk about the scheduler which is like something for Which helps in facilitating the children and the last part about the data And this changing times and two kinds of moodlings is the last thought so I'll begin with The doubt that I've discussed like can a school That too for the underprivileged and these kind of students from these kind of communities run on technology and like moodle How is it like what's happening there? Okay? So first part is like where is the teacher that was something I would wonder and what I'm doing is I'm sharing certain Experiences that I had on the moodle platform that behind which are strong Pedagogical principles and you know thoughtful strategies, which is something I'm assuming are taken care of Especially when we you know think about schooling and also we assume that yes the teacher knows what he needs to do So all that yes when we are as post-creators in moodle We are told that primarily moodle is just a tool you have to be very Specific in terms of your teaching strategy in terms of the objective of the lesson in terms of the learning outcomes that we want And then I would think okay all that's fine like we manage that that's a traditional You know teachers responsibility, but what about how is moodle gonna support? So you see that in my school We had these lecture instructions, you know interactions presentations illustrations Demonstrations from the teacher the questioning and the feedback and all of this what would happen in this moodle environment Okay, like any of you just have to think about your schooling and everything you did and now we are here in a school that is Students come they sit on their moodle platform. We are in somewhere else and doing what we need to do sometimes Yes, we need to meet physically also. So what's happening? So as you see it turned into audio video animations simulations H5P opened up a whole new world of Interactives we had text based pages live classes and something to do with AI which I'm going to show you So the question was where is the teacher? Okay, now, let's have a look all of you can see that I'm just sharing certain examples from our LMS that Behind which are demonstrating this concern of where is the teacher? So here we see that we have a simple assignment in English or a simple reading assignment where the child has to read and We have we are dealing with different kinds of learners auditory learners Inesthetic learners visual learners. So we have these different mediums that moodle supports your moodle supports an audio and a text Okay, this is this is good. This is starting to be this something I'd expected But what about more? Okay, so here we can see that we have these animations that we can Make and we can also, you know, upload it onto the moodle platform as videos Interlace it with other texts and you know audios on the page on the learning page Yes, Rajan the age group of these students is yes, it starts from pretty primary Basically moodle starts from I think class one and I'm in the second V section So I give the students from class 4 to class 10 So a class 8 primarily and now even 9 and 10 in our school So these are school kids age would be around 6 years to 14 years is the age as Rajan is asking So this is our school a normal school now. So where is the teacher? So as I showed you we had these options of text-based audio-based animations. Then what I see was We can create our own videos. This is the videos that we have to create as course creators We have we can upload it onto the moodle platform as videos We can keep us like record lectures and the question that can this school run Purely on the moodle platform and the child is only there and whatever we need to do has to go through the platform so can it support this kind of a thing and Such questions in terms of assessments and you know future I'll reach there So you see that this is an example where we have our videos Going further we have these Demonstrations that we do again we can put up our videos that is visible here and After we have these demonstrations and illustrations. We have simulations. We record our simulations and moodle supports putting them up in presentations into H5Ps or purely as videos just videos on links To YouTube videos that we can make and again we use simulations as I mentioned So something that I would do in school. I'm seeing here one of my Another facilitator of our school. He's also Demonstrating a simulation that these web-based technologies are supporting Now we move ahead to H5Ps Now H5Ps is a whole new world that even Martin mentioned sometime back is being completely integrated into our moodle instance Our instance is my big campus and here we you see that this is a it's a branching lesson So H5P for lessons and content delivery gives options of you know Dream apps and timelines and branch branch based learning scenario based learning or even interactive videos and audios So I would I would wonder that what about the scenario where? In in my school my teacher would deliver and I would ask questions or the teacher would ask questions to test So here you see we have this questions interlaced along with the presentation along with the video in between So when he has first creators Yeah, Ajit I'll get back to that question It's a profound question which requires a different debate altogether, but I'll continue with where I am right now So we have these we can interlace these questions while the student is you know going through the video or through the Presentation that we create to test the child and these questions could be our various forms to test either recall or application and These kind of cognitive metrics And in terms of where is the teacher? I'm still there We have these again H5P's that allow another instance of you know all these dots that you see are different different kinds of Interjections that we put so that the child is alert awake answering in branching scenarios He gets redirected if he gets it wrong So whatever we do in class is getting translated here very thoughtfully that we need to do and it engages the students and we I'm reaching to the grading and the assessments and last instance of where is the teacher? Yeah, so yes Fiona. I'll Yeah, I'll I'll be quick. So another instance is where the AI plugins in moodle helps us to do the Traditional reading and the reading assignments where you see we record ourselves and the child gets you know All the energy we invest is getting it here and the child gets an instance and we can save the time and you know get Because of these children from what background they are we can facilitate them. They need our hand holding Mainly because of the kind of communities that come from so we put up this we save time by using moodle by getting things done quickly And it has longevity so here the child has to read and record and you see the AI grates it So we can hear the audio of the child and then we can have a facilitated You know meeting with the child to guide him to read better to express better to talk better So the AI also helps you don't have to do the grading so these kind of options and possibilities are there In terms of the next part is good collaboration now We've done with the traditional content delivery delivery teaching strategy is instructional strategies and methods What about my discussions with my friends and you know those interactions I had and those collaboration. So here we see that I'll be quick. Yeah, we see a forum now We host a forum and the child responds It's good for those kind of learners who are otherwise quiet shy and they express better in forums We can where they can think thoughtfully and answer. They might be otherwise very reticent It helps them help its asynchronous learning where they can answer at their own pace So I never knew this kind of thing was possible, but we had these guided discussions on forums We also use Databases where you see the students have commented here to a guided discussion by one of our facilitators and This is a database that we create of observations that we use in science. That's one of the options moodle Provides us which I didn't know and I found very interesting and glossaries where child children can come together create a glossary Together collaborate on it and comment on each other's terms and definitions Which helps them to be alert while in the post that we designed to think about the new words and the terms and Lastly in collaboration. What I have is you see here In this area that we are Facilitator is guiding our leading a little chat or discussion from the blocks that we put up here new kinds of content that we put up our new information or new things from the web that are open source new ideas specifically for them So we can chat and it's very informal and the child learns to these kind of chats and you know guided Discussions that we have and moodle provides these kind of options in real time All right, so Now assessments, I'll be quick on this part now mainly assessments I would think and all in my school. I had all these exams and everything now What about here? Is it gonna be just a quiz and that's all but here? We see that there are various ways and tools to be able to test your knowledge your comprehension your synthesis of what you're learning and Behind every soft moodle has this thing that it's built bases very strong pedagogical principles It's something I didn't know which I experienced with seeing my our instance of moodle and our development of these courses where You know all of these things and you know reduction expression all of these things that we would want to test cognitively of the child moodle provides ways to do that which I would think What is there and how is it possible? So here we I'm gonna be quick now here We see that we have a quiz that we put up Something called an embedded close type of a question in a quiz that you can Just go different different kinds of MCQs fill in the blank shot answers everything in one go and create this huge thing Question may want to test different abilities either. It's just plain recall or it's deduction and problem solving or whether it's plain comprehension by you know match the following or something of that sort and I move forward to the quiz as I mentioned there are various question types that you see here that are possible To test different kinds of cognitive abilities that we would want to test whether it's true or false master following and essay writing Anything that you can think is possible even here the child now These are assignments where the child is gonna see a picture based story and he has to write now We want the child to write and he submits as an online text and we can grade it We can annotate the grading we can write over on his page We can give feedback we can record our sets we can record the audio which I did very recently Even my video as a feedback and all of this I didn't know so I found it pretty amazing that everything is happening on this platform Which is a web-based ERP and it's open source and it's free and it's making the whole school run like a school that I was a part of and Yes another assignment where I remember when in our school We had to take these leaves and mark and we have a similar thing here But we want the child to upload his image Market and we can we can get the image on model he can upload his image So it's just this typical assignments that we would clip our leaves and these kind of things on paper and submitted to our teachers Yeah, the child has to do it click an image We have a phone in the school that can even facilitate that and he can upload it and We can correct it graded that he can upload on mobile Even in this kind of an assignment where the child marks your puts it on paper or draws the table on the online submission fills it and Then we grade it so different kinds of assessments are possible even here We want the child so he can record himself and upload his own video while conducting the experiment and we can grade it suggest So all these kinds of assessments are possible and an HIP is a different world altogether with master following This is an instance where it's called marking the word where the child has to identify the words and with HIP You open up a whole world of assessments that you just have to decide your strategy to assess and have it defined in terms of what cognitive thing cognitive ability you want to test and HIP or model has a solution is something I have seen and the plugins is another world that is there Which I'm yet to understand last part before I finish the school part is Scheduling here. It just it's an add-on that I really love that we schedule meetings with the child here These are the students. These are after we are facilitators and we have these meetings to you know At the traditional part of the school whether we have to guide the student We have to ensure that he's on track what he's doing whether he has doubts We have to resolve the doubts. So we just put it the child season is calendar and we meet at our location or we meet online I'm reaching there. I'm yeah one last part in terms of this pooling Yeah, I have two minutes. I'll be done Dynamics of data is something I would want to mention is something and add-on So I came from this data analysis background and also I'm like, where is the data? I want to see the data that's being generated So and it's really interesting to see that look here. It's very interesting here You see you see the entire result of your quiz that you hosted you just identify questions where The most students have gone wrong and you decide a strategy or you see collective responses So he had these quiz and it was a general quiz on Geography and we saw the collective responses of all the students across questions to get an overview and we decided the feedback session in one instance I'm getting an entire overview of all the responses which are subjective in an essay writing question and All we do have all we need to do is have a small session to guide the students and this kind of data analysis Is like I just love it and of course you can see the views how many views the child is Having across each page. So if you have a test oral test is something we take over and above So I see the back end of the child has he seen that page the test is three days later I'm like, oh, I've seen you've not seen the page. Please go and take a look Don't miss the quiz review your quiz. So when I take a test as he has not seen this I'll ask the question from that page on So I find this very interesting which is something was not there in traditional schooling and of course the logs that you see here What what how many times the course page is being hit by the students? So if I see for a long time he's on access the read-alouds or maybe intermediate English So it's just a part of my job to tell him. Okay, please access it. I send him a message and like, okay I'm gonna do I'm gonna go ahead. Okay. I'm gonna I'll be done with the schooling part I'm done with whatever had to say about moodle and my experience and yes A school can run on the entire platform or moodle and it's much more than this But I just had to give a little a background of what I've experienced now in this changing times now Surprisingly, I have to facilitate physically now our school has actually gone through the virtual where I have to meet because of this Situation in our world right now completely digitally on the big blue button Which is a plug-in which is a part of our LMS and I whatever facilitation I would do physically I have to do it from here. So it opens the whole world of possibilities where students Can join from anywhere and volunteer to help these students who need that kind of a facilitation. Yeah, Fiona I'm done. I'm not more than a minute. And yeah, a few classes that we take with even outside students Hosted on moodle and big blue button and a last last thing is before I end 10 seconds more is two kinds of moodling Okay, we have two kinds of moodling here One is a moodle that I am on the interface where I'm moodling and the last part is with our children Another meaning of moodle is this slow-paced enjoyable tinkering and Experimenting which leads to creativity and insight is what we want our students to experience so two kinds of moodling that we that goes on in our school and Yeah, thank you for your patience. Thank you everyone Okay, great. Thank you. You're up. Sorry to Keep you on that timeline But thank you for your contribution. I just wanted everybody to know that Nicole's session which was supposed to be the next one on the On the list has actually been recorded. So we will share the recording from that session with you or later So the next session that's actually going to be running is the one from ballistic. So for those of you
