 Thanks, Hedetto. And I reiterate that about the Moodle Users Association. Now on that note, I want to actually take us through a bit of a something similar. Now on the program we had a community panel discussion. That seemed too boring. And I want to go through instead, what I want to do, if you could flick the screen up please. I want to have a bit of a brainstorming session together. And what I would like at the end of, say, I think we could do this in half an hour, and then we can all get out of here. As a group, together, let's kind of extract what we want. So what you think Moodle needs to do. That's what I want to get out of this. So it's a very simple brainstorming session. There's a document here. If you want to go to it, you're very welcome. Though you don't have edit rights yet. Stop making comments. I'll tweet this later on, once I've cleaned it up a little at the end. And it will just say, here's basically a statement of what this group thinks Moodle should do at this point in time. I did the same exercise in the US, and it would be quite interesting to compare the two, actually. So the way I want to do this is, all of you have to do some thinking first. So we're going to have about three minutes quiet time. I want you to pull out your nearest device, and I want you to have a little brainstorm amongst yourself only, as to what you think maybe the top five things that you think Moodle should focus on. I mean Moodle HQ, the community, but particularly Moodle HQ. This is like, you're giving me some instructions here, right? Top five things. And then after that, we're going to go around and collect as many of them as possible, and you probably other people might name some of yours, so it doesn't matter. I just want to get a list of a lot of them down. And then each of us are going to have five votes, and we're going to go through them one by one, and you can use some of your votes up on either yours or others. And at the end, we're going to have a sorted list of priorities. Make some sense? Okay, so three minutes starting, stop writing. How are you doing that? All right, that's it. That's it, turning it off. I'm turning the car around. I don't trust anybody. There you go, you're viewing. Stop it. So three minutes, a bit of private brainstorming time, and I want you to just think about yourself right down what you think we should be focusing on. Okay, has anybody got something urgent? They just got to get off their chest right now and start us off. Who's got a suggestion? You, sir, you look keen. Yeah? But it's lacking because it's only got very basic quiz questions in it, and if you could pull all of the quiz questions into lesson, that would be amazing. So lesson, integration with question database. And the other thing we had on lesson is when you're a learner, you're going to learn to use lesson linearly, but as you get more sophisticated, you're going to storyboard out to different pathways. It'd be nice to do that visually. Okay. That's enough from you for the moment. Anyone else? No, these two things are not new ideas there. It's good to see them here. Who else has got some good ideas you want to get out there right down at the back? I'm going to make you run, Claudia. Oh, great. Over there, guy with a laptop, that's it. Guy with the ears. Fixed marking forms and rubrics and reporting on it. Fix how? Make them more complex. So you can't do a combination. The forms aren't complex enough to duplicate the forms that people require. They need check boxes as well as lines and points and text boxes. Can you say it in about eight words that I could type? Make a really flexible marking form. Okay, thank you. Make marking forms flexible. Okay, I'll take that one on. Now you may be starting to think about which ones you're going to vote for as we go along. Okay, anyone else? Yes, down here, sorry. We are recording and probably streaming to... Got something for, sorry, Myrtle Cloud. Yes. Pre-approved plugins to be installed. Pre-approved, if I can... For example, Myrtle HQ might say, turn it in, is an approved plugin, you can install it on Myrtle Cloud. Oh, well, we already have that. You do? Yeah, we have extra plugins on Myrtle Cloud that we have a pre-approved. So, done. I won't even put it on there. But, and that will increase. There'll always be more and more. We're adding more functionality to Myrtle Cloud. Yes, sorry, I won't put it down. Fly, yep, down here, Jean-Paul. I will repeat. Why? To authenticate, and not to authenticate, but to verify that what you've getting out of Myrtle is actually that was done by an institution and signed and actually an authentic item. So, let's say blockchain and badges or blockchain and certificates. Badges themselves are certification of sort. Yeah, are assigned. Is that the kind of thing that you get? Yeah, but I'd like to see a... I think that using blockchain and expanding the use of it would make it a bit more trustworthy in my eyes. Okay, some sort of holistic certification and you're mostly thinking of results of, hmm, okay, all right, well, we'll see. Can I explain that better? That's probably not clear. Is that what you mean? I'm trying to, when you start off with blockchain, you're kind of starting with a solution. I kind of, we need to know what is the problem you're trying. What is the thing you want? Yeah, so authentication, not authentication, but verification. So, making sure that if a certificate came out of this Moodle site from this institution that there's an easy way that that can be verified and not falsified in any way. Okay, all right, that'll do, I think. All right, may as well just... There was a presentation before about the certificates and they have that verification code, but it saves just within that instance of Moodle, so no other system can access that and validate it outside your system. So, maybe the verifiable certificate having somewhere or some way of that code being unique and accessible from other places, for example, so that someone could get your certificate and have a look at it and they could verify it somewhere else rather than having to come to your institution to do it. Yeah, Badges does exactly this. I'm just pointing out that it's exactly what Badges does. But if you want something that's cool, then you can put cooler. Okay, that's good. Just so long as everyone understands roughly what we're talking about, because you're gonna vote later. It's a very easy way for me rather than me picking everybody because I'm kind of biasing this situation terribly, probably. The man in the hat, I'm just gonna, I'm gonna bias it too bad. Darren. Extending the Gradebook API to make it possible to have more complicated grading schemas so that we can meet different institution's needs. For example, at Monash University, we need hurdles. There's no clean way for us to do that, even using the mathematical grading because we need to keep the marks but have different grades. Okay, okay, is that, is that okay? Essentially it allows more flexible grading schemas so that we can write code that plugs into Moodle Core. Okay, gosh, these are all very specific. Everyone has a wish list. Yeah, I know. This won't be perfect, but it's gonna be something. Now, who thinks there's something desperately missing off this list so far? A lot of you, sorry. Just go from table to table, actually. Just keep going like that way, I think, has been and pass these guys, oh, did you have your hand up? Okay, all right. Look, I'll try and explain this one as easily as I can. We use the one course over and over again, different groups, so if we can define that group and the members of it, being able to do a course level reset or date override for every date. So the way that a reset currently, you put a new date in and it will push everything, but being able to define like a group override but at the course level for a group and it pushes everything. All dates and a course. Everything, yeah. So you've got simultaneously 10 groups in there that have all got different sets of dates but based off a template, yeah. Yeah, okay. Try and get more towards the back because I seem to be picking the middle a lot so you just sort of go off and, yeah, do it. So you have to attract these two ladies' attention. Go on. A little bit related to that one. For assignments and for quizzes, we have user and group overrides, but we have things like wikis that have an edit until date, a forum that has post-until date that teachers use as due dates, but it's really difficult to give individuals or groups an extension. So that group override user override functionality applied to all those activities that have dates that they use as due dates. So group specific, group specific due dates. Group and user overrides, yeah. Right, okay. Group and user on due dates per activity. Something like that. Who's next? Yes, so it's a bit vague. It's only half a thought. More student-generated content, so the ability for students not just to be passive, like click on the links but actually create some of the stuff in their glass space. So to do that, you just change your role add some overrides, you can do that. Or you can do it to each other. Maybe they can create a quiz to assess each other. You've got to create the quiz space first and then assign them that role within the quiz. Not if you assign it to them at the course. I don't know that, but if you want to restrict it a little bit more. Right. Perhaps. Okay. So how do we describe that more fine grains? Student-generated activities. I don't know if I want to put that one down because that's one of the use cases in the original design. So Moodle has always allowed student-created activities by design. It's just that most of you haven't switched it on. Yeah. Yep. Okay. Well, I'm going to put it. Maybe no one knows it's there. Student-created activities. You give your students a whole course. Make them teachers. Make them admins. It's not a bad idea. In fact, with Moodle, you can make it so a guest that lobs in off the internet without logging in can be an admin. All right. How about you just take turns? Good. Yeah. Find them for me. That's it. Good. So I have a specific UI problem with Moodle and I guess I don't want to bring that up because it's very specific, but I was thinking it'd be good if there was a framework for the Moodle user association to propose UI or UX projects. And I guess so far the, most of the projects out of the MUA have all been like for specific item, like we want this particular item. It'd be nice if it was like, we want to improve the UX on an existing item in Moodle. And like, how do we do that? The last projects have literally been that. They've actually just said fix the user interface for this thing that exists already. So maybe I should have gone with my specific. Yeah. Are you a member at the MUA? I am. Have you written any of these suggestions? I pitched a project proposal and I got almost no votes. Okay. But yeah. I could make it more sexy. I tried. Hello, Gordon. I have a quick, clear suggestion and that is to make badge criteria a fully fledged plugin. Oh, okay. At the moment, the badge criteria are four or five hard-coded criteria. And so we can't add new ones. So please make badge criteria a fully fledged plugin. I appreciate the clarity of that suggestion, Gordon. Thank you. A lot of thought went into it. Who's next? Yeah, I'd like to see an improved blog functionality for students to use. So the blog function at the moment is sort of a bit weird, I think. Oh. Yeah. So I'm thinking about it in terms of student learning journals. For them to be able to sort of write their own sort of learning journals. Okay. A bit like you would do in a kind of just a web blog or something or WordPress or something like that. Okay, bring back the journal activity. Okay. Got deleted earlier on in Moodle's history. Probably in a new form, of course. Who's next? Yeah. So further on to the marking forms being more flexible. Can you make it so that you can do a partial edit and then save it instead of having to fill in the whole thing? So that you can come back to marking and do incremental saves. So because yep. Quite often you get timed out. Okay. For your institution. Okay, cool. I'll add that to the marking forms one. I guess a whole lot of work on marking forms. You're talking about the ones in assignment. Right? Yep. Keep going over to the edges, you two. Okay, where are you? Hi Martyn, I'm back here. One of the things that our examiners would really, really love is, and I cringe to say it, forgive me, is to have the option to turn off PDF annotation. Let me tell you why. Okay. So in some of their assignments, there is students are submitting 100 to 300 pages and they're doing individual grading the old fashioned way. Got it? Okay. No, sorry, I'm only, I'm just, we have to finish. That's all, we got a lot to go still. So let's, I'm just, we've got it, thank you. I didn't even know you, I thought you could switch it off. So I'm surprised to find out that you, oh, you can. Damien says you can switch it off at a sight level. No, you're right. No. Okay. Boop, over there. Who's got it? Hopefully this is not already there and I'll make a fool of myself but meta courses to allow like multiple groups to go across as well rather than just putting it into one group. So if a course is meta grouped. Yeah. So groups get carried across to meta courses. Let's come up a few times already this week. So it's good. Over the side. Hi. So really suggesting around forums. I think forums of the commonly used activities probably the least sophisticated tool in Moodle. Despite, I know you put a lot of work into it. I would suggest perhaps looking into whether you can integrate into one of the most modern commercial brands whether that's like, say, Zenforo for example. Okay. Or there's a harmonized by 42lines.net which integrates into Canvas but not into Moodle. Largely, cause I think some university in the US paid for it to happen. So. Can't you. I'm just thinking. Could you use LTI for that sort of stuff? Well, you would, yeah, you would hope so but they use an LTI but it still needs a lot of customization apparently. But certainly possible. All I'm thinking is it's, the current forum is probably no more sophisticated than the ultimate. What do you mean by sophisticated? What do you need? Also, there's a combination of arrangements and forums and the way responses. Most forums I've seen do less than Moodle's forum. Yeah, I use a lot of forums. Okay, so what's an example? One example we could say. Being able to put personal thread marks and administrator thread marks through threads. Read, unread. On a far more flexible individual basis. Admins being able to unread whole threads. Admins being able to deal with user groups and individual groups. All right. Point systems, yeah. Okay, all right. A lot of modern stuff. Improve forums a lot. I'm just wondering whether this could solve your problems without individual. I'm not gonna jump to using any particular other sort of forum. What you want is a lot of forum improvements. So if we're gonna vote on that, that's a good thing, I think it's enough. Thanks. Let's have another 10 if we can do it quickly. So I'm gonna ask you down the front because you're not gonna get to you. So I'll repeat the question, it's okay. Stay on there. New users of Moodle and people that haven't used it very much. Some sort of when they get a new site, some sort of build helper that helps them build a little bit of a skeleton shell. Course wizard. Just to start with have a couple of activities and then they can go into the settings and go from there. Yep. Thank you. The idea on the back. Yep. Can we fix question banks? Didn't you have one? Yep. Pass it around. We've got one over here. Yeah, Gave Martin. Just better student reporting and tracking site-wide across the whole site for course completion, et cetera, for students. Student tracking for completion site-wide, like competencies? Well, like if a student completes a course and let's say that they're doing 20 courses and you actually have to have a quick overview of all the students that let's say that you're looking after or on a site admin level, you can just have a, I know there's some plugins that you can use for that but basically. Like course transcripts sort of? Yeah, or even just a quick visual overview and a download of something. So, I mean the My Moodle course has been, options being fantastic. For all students at once or one at a time? No, for all students. So an overview. Yeah, you can go to the user profiles. Yeah, exactly. An overview, so. Okay. Thank you. A couple more on that side. Hello, yeah. Some current content HTML templates with maybe some font awesome and jQuery interactive templates that make a nice presentation layer. Because we talked about this before. So like template components available from the editor. Yeah. I know that one keeps coming up this side. A couple more. All of these are Moodle core ideas. Yes. I'd love to see the Moodle chat message feature to be integrated across site-wise. So students could jump from course to course and they could still be chatting with student A. That was in a particular course and then go to another course and still be chatting with them. So have a different layer. Sort of like Facebook. So you could navigate around Moodle and. That would, yeah. Okay. All right, all right. So like on page or something like that. Yeah, that would be great. Okay. This way, yes. Forgive me if it's in Moodle 33, but due dates on forums? Due dates. If it can have a grade, it should have a due date. This side. Martin, have you found a user logging for grade book weightings? User logging. Logging, yeah. To find out who changed the weightings in a grade book. So we do, yeah, okay. Yeah, it's not exposed. So you just want to see a history of changes to the grade book. In the weightings set up. In the weightings. Only in the weightings. Or everything. It's in the grades, but not in the weight. Well, I haven't found it in the weightings set up. These are logged actually, but we don't display them anywhere. Stupidly. A couple more, yes. Site-wide question banks. Site-wide question banks. Four quizzes, yeah. Do we not have that? Yeah. Yeah, we do. You can make quick, whoo. One less. All right, a couple more. Side, yes. An AI chatbot that we can train to answer student questions about their courses, their grades, that kind of thing. Okay. And that's linked to you at-risk student stuff, the project aspire, so that it can talk to them and so get on with it or do this course on motivation or talk to your counsellor. Well, actually, you just put AI chatbot. Ah, it's getting late in the week. All right, last two. I would like the settings for activities and tools to be simplified a little bit. As Moodle has grown, the settings have grown. And I think that the low level use, like the teachers, are either intimidated by them and don't make changes or try to make changes and don't quite know what they're doing and break things. That's a massive writhing kettle of fish. Thank you. Last one over here. So you pick them. I'm not gonna pick them. Oh, thanks. Thanks, Huss, for you. I've managed to start it using the workshop, the module, and it's fantastic, but it's a bit clunky. It'd be nice if it could be a little bit easier to use, even with the, because you have to go into stages. Yeah. Okay. Yeah, I did. Thank you. Okay, now look, there's some very specific things here. I'm gonna stop because, well, who thinks I should keep collecting stuff or should we have a vote on these? We wanna go home, right? All right, let's do it. So you've got five votes each. I'm trusting you guys. Only vote for five. So I'm just gonna go through these and we're gonna have a show of hands where you show one of your five votes and I'm gonna roughly estimate how many people I'm looking at here. This was easier in the US. Hey? I could, but we're not gonna do it this second, unfortunately, I would love to go, hey, Moodle, make that a poll. And it just, yeah. That comes under AI chatbot assistant. So, okay, first one, lesson integration with question database. How many hands we got here? One, one, ready? Everyone up? Ready? I might need some help counting. I don't know if I wanna have some external verifiers. Oh, they're going up and down, you guys. Okay, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 19, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25. Oh, geez. It's like 80% of you. Okay, you wanna get online? No, I can't do that, it's gonna be madness. How can we do that? No, I'm just gonna count roughly. It's okay, this is very rough. So I got up to about, okay, just one, do it again, do it again, do it again. We can do this. It's about sort of 40, it's about 60. It's about 80, 87. All right, visual lit lesson interface. You're burning through your votes here, remember. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, 10, 11, 12, 13, five-ish, kind of 33. The brain's amazing, isn't it? If you wanna think how amazing your brain is, just think how many bananas, if I ask you, how many bananas you ate in the last month, your brain will probably come up with a number. Isn't that incredible? Is it counting all the time? Make marking forms flexible and usable. Marking forms, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, 20, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 21, all right. Verifiable, verifiable signed certificates from Moodle courses that aren't open badges. You can actually already do that in a custom certificate. You can add a digital signature. I was gonna spring that afterwards. So okay, well, how many was it? How many want that thing? Okay, Mark is the guy who wrote that module, so that's one way of solving it. But that was about five hands up, I saw, yeah? Okay, I'm gonna put five. Extending grade book API to allow more flexible grading schemas. One, gosh, you got complicated grading needs. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. You have two hands? No, nine, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 19, 20. 28. Okay, control all dates in a course at once by groups or otherwise. Oh, somebody saved your votes. Good, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, three and a half. Group and user overrides on due dates per activity. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, 10. Yep, got about 20. Surprised about that one actually. Student created activities, making it easier to make a student created activity, probably. One, two, three, not even the person who suggested it. Oh, yes, you did, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, 10. All right. Make badge criteria fully-fledged plug-ins. That's been cycling around for a while. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, 10, 11, 12, 13, about another. 23. Bring back the journal activity. So some sort of journaling, blogging. You're talking about course level, I assume, or fixing another one. Yeah. You love blogging so much. I'm gonna count this way this time. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, 10, 20, six. Allow PDF annotation to be switched off. What, really, it's one of your top five. Wow, one, two, five. The whole table over there. Six, seven, eight, nine, 10, 11, 12, 13, about 14. Metacourses, inheriting groups. Oh, you guys again. Six, seven, eight, nine, 10, about 20. Improved forums a lot. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, 10, 12, 13, about 15. Course wizard for new courses. Oh, a lot of hands for this one. I'd say 10, 20, 30, 40, 55. I'd say 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 50, 55. I'd say 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 50, 55. I'd say 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 50, 55. Course transcript, or course overview for students. So you can see some sort of report of all the courses that are finished or not finished for students. Not very well-defined that one, but something like that. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, 10, about 17. Trying to make as many of these prime numbers as possible, I don't know why. Template or components available from the editor. So the idea here is that you have a menu in the editor and you just go plop. I want an HTML nice element that goes into the text at this point. Maybe it's like a call-out box or something like that. Ooh, you only have five votes, remember? One, two, you guys, you're like a block vote over there. Six, eight, 10, 20, 30, 40, seven. Seven. Message chat interface floating on the page. So bringing chat kind of more upfront like Facebook. Five, six, seven, eight, nine, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15. Due dates on forums. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, seven. History of changes to grade weightings. So it's more of an audit tool, I guess, to see who changed things in the grade book. Two, three, four, five. An AI chatbot assistant, just gone from like level of difficulty, like one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, 10, 12, 16, I'll make it 17. Simplify settings in general. Project to simplify settings. We've had several of these in the past. So another iteration of simplifying settings. 10, 20, seven. I'm getting better and better at this every time. Declunk the workshop. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, 10, 20, 25, 30, three. All right, that's it. So now I don't know, is anybody wanna revisit the first one? Because did we all answer that one because we just suddenly thought, hey, I can vote for everything? Or is it actually the number one issue for everything, for everyone, really? Okay, well, you would say that because you said that, but what does everyone else think? Okay, all right. Well, that's our results. I'm not gonna sit here and just edit them into order right now. What I will do is I'll open up this again and you can help me. But I'm very interested to hear their all moodle call requests and not the other stuff, which is fine. That means I can do whatever I want on the other stuff. Fantastic. And I'm not gonna give everyone edit rights just yet because what happens is people start slipping things into the list. Ah, you thought, damn it, that's what I was gonna do. So I'll clean this up and I'll tweet the thing around and it can be a statement of something we got out of this last session. This is the kind of thing that our developers can use to help set some priorities. It's part of the input we have from many sources. What we just went through there is pretty much an analog of what happens at the Moodle Users Association. So people suggest projects. We obviously have a lot more discussion to define them and then people have limited amounts of votes based on how much money they've paid to the association and then the votes are added up and we get priorities picked and so that's how that works. The developers are using what the Moodle User Association's saying, these little exercises, voting in the tracker, everything, all the input that we've all gathered by talking and listening to everybody here at the Mood. It's all grist for the mill. What I'm happy about now is that with the investment that I announced yesterday, we will have more developers to get through more things and I really wanna deliver, I want us to be delivering for you guys so that you aren't waiting around so long. And another change that I'm not sure we talked about widely is that we're looking at with more developers available, moving back to something we used to have in the old days which is having particular people responsible for particular modules. Because lately with a smaller team, we've been working as a team and moving across the whole of Moodle which means no one's responsible for anything particularly. But in the old days, each module was usually owned by one person and they used to just work on it. So they did new features and fixed the bugs for it. So we're talking about going back to that and I think you might see a lot more progress especially in the activity modules where a lot of these are focused on. So thank you very much. I know Ron's gonna come up and say some words but I just wanna personally say that it's been a real pleasure to have everyone here in the last couple of days. I've been getting such a joyful feeling out of it. I know we've had some good news but also just being in Australia and seeing all your faces again. There's so many people here who've been with Moodle for so long. I'm asking you to stick with us. Really cool things are coming and we're working very hard behind the scenes to keep you happy and empower you and empower all of us, as I said. So thank you very, very much. It's been a really good nice couple of days. Thanks. Thank you.
