 Yes, so I'm Uwe Rital and this is Timo Salon and we come from University of Vasa in Finland. And today we will be talking about our Moodle dashboard and what we've done to enhance it a bit for our users. So basically this was a project we started maybe one and a half years ago, when we realized that it took a lot of effort for our students to get the data they wanted to have. Concerning their studies and other daily stuff. And so they had to log into several systems to get this data and also the UIs for these systems were well they were pretty much stuck on the 90s. So they were hardly usable on a mobile device and it was really difficult for them to find the whole picture. So we decided to get all this information in one place so that our students could easily use the status of their studies. We studied our system login statistic a little bit. So we noticed that Moodle was our most used system. So that's why we decided to build our dashboard there. We wanted to build everything inside a team so it would be easier to make our future upgrades. And we used our team clean as our starting point to our work. Yeah and so it took about six months to build this thing. The first layout was drawn sometime in November 2015 and the main hard lifting was done during spring 2016 with the release in in June. So basically to illustrate this this uh this was basically what the students started with before we got going and we managed to maybe scale it down to this. So uh basically this is this is what the desktop site looks like for when the when the students log into Moodle now. We scroll down to the page it looks like this. And it works pretty well on a mobile device. At least we work really hard on on getting the also the mobile version working nicely. So you have the tabs for the data here. So if we dig a little deeper inside uh what all the stuff we had on on the page. Okay we can first look look out our new navigation at the top. Uh first we have uh home icon which always leads back to our dashboard and next we have our courses. So it's a list of my courses and then we have option to choose language. And then next we have user details settings and lockout button. And next we have our own new search which is dynamic. So you can just start typing and it shows the results immediately. You can use course full name, course short name, or teacher's name to search from from our search. And behind menu we have the old navigation and depending on content page we have also the administration block inside of that menu. Okay and then the next section we have here is the data that's pulled from our student information system. I was told that SIS is the term I need to use. It's some everyone knows what that is maybe. Okay so anyway the first up we have the total number of student credit points for this user in a round thing there. And then we have two progress bars. The first one is how many student credit points this student has achieved this year, this academic year. And on the right we have how much time they have on a university before their right to study expires. And then we also have the when the student is very good we have the doughnut to broke them up and further develop their skills. Okay on the bottom of this gray section we have three upcoming exams and if you want to see more you can just click the show all icon in there. Yeah and here on the top we have three most recent grades and here if you click on the show all button it actually produces a whole history of the students grades and they also have the can click on that grade distribution link there to show a particular courses how the grades have been distributed on a particular course so they can they can compare where they've ended up on the on the scale. And in the yellow section we have three upcoming lecture with time and room information in it. And there you can also click so we view link if you wish to see more. Then we added this feedback form to get because it was quite a lot of changes made to the moodler so we wanted to have as much feedback as possible and make it really easy for the users to give feedback. So we added this form and they can send their ideas on improvements and also new features and we actually received quite good ones this way. Okay now we can move on to middle section of our dashboard. There we have course overview list on the left side of and right side we have course categories. We have one new feature in in our course overview list because of that feedback we received on that our new form. So basically when you click edit from there students can easily hide courses with these toggles so students can hide their completed courses or if they just want to see those courses anymore in in this list but students still remain enrolled on those courses so we just hide from this list. Okay and then on to the of course the most important section because our students are hungry so we have the lunch menus for the campus restaurants here and also at the very bottom we have the quick links which are resources that we thought the students might appreciate to have easy access to even inside moodle. Okay so that's basically how our student dashboard looks like but amazingly enough we were ahead of schedule when building this thing. Is anybody like doing that nowadays? I don't know but actually we just decided that maybe the teachers would also appreciate some some of this kind of functionality so our teacher dashboard looks something like this. Okay this is a teacher view so after they look in they get same kind of layout but different data in it so we have navigation course overview list menus are the same for the for the teachers but but the quick links are targeted to teachers which are not seen right now but they are for teachers. So this is again data that's coming from the from our SIS so first up on the left we have the credit points this student credit points this teacher has has produced this year and then in the center we have the teachers latest exam and they can see how many students have received a particular grade or failed and then to the right the percentage of past grades on these teachers courses for for this academic year and underneath each of these these data points you have the more button or it's not a button but link and if you click on that you you can see a historical data so you can compare different years data here. Okay again in the grade section we have a list of exams that teachers has to has to grade our teachers has 30 days time to grade so that's why we have some warning signs there orange mean means that you have under week two left to grading and red one means that your grading is already late and bottom of this section we have upcoming exams with information how many students have registered for them. Yeah so these were also coming from our SIS they are not Moodle exams or grades and then we have this yellow in the yellow section we all have the lectures and feedback just as we had for the for the students but we also added this create a new Moodle course link here which brings up this dialogue with which the teachers can create courses all by them by themselves before we had a form and one of us had to do the heavy lifting here so this has been quite an improvement for our workflow at least so basically the teachers just choose the course they want to create and these again are courses that are coming from the SIS so this teacher has these courses in our SIS so these are courses that are coming in the future and so they just choose the course here and then they can create a new course that doesn't have any content on then or then they can click on this and they can choose to copy course content from one of their existing courses in this Moodle so we choose some some old course they have as a blueprint for this course then they just choose the category click on create course takes a couple of seconds and we're all set so that's been pretty pretty handy handy for them so that's basically what we have for the teachers inside our dashboard do we still have time we do great because that's that's not all actually actually this is this is we want to show one more thing that we added to our Moodle it's it's not inside the dashboard so we're side stepping a bit but it's it's a nice feature at least for our workflow at our university and it's teacher tools yes okay this is layout for for our course view so what we wanted to do is to have easy way to publish courses so that's why we added this our own block teacher's tools in most cases our our teachers doesn't need much more than this our own tool so they don't don't have to go any administration block and find anything from there what we have here first we have enable editing secondly course visibility so you can easily hide and hide and show course under it we have set a course key so we can easily type new course key for this course and after we save it we can find the course enrollment key right under that toggle so teacher can easily view later on if if she needs the course key yeah and then we have show all topics which is actually just changes the course layout we have two course layout we have the kind of classic one topic after another on a flat page view and if you click on this we display each topic on their own separate page and you also get the table of contents there to the to the right where you can easily jump on or jump to different topics and that's pretty handy for courses that have really are really really long and have multiple sections and then finally we have added teacher which is actually just a link to the user enrollment page but we also display all the teachers on this list so you don't have to go into the list and try to find find the different the teachers among the other other types of users on a course so that's basically it yes yeah all right so thank you yeah we got this on super so thank you lads and a minute to spare which is brilliant and can I ask does anybody have any questions and if you do if you can name your name an institution please no questions no questions hold on we've Karen makes me run across far side hi Karen from Moodle HQ and I was just interested did did you do any kind of before and after analysis of you know the the I mean that it looks amazing the improvements look fantastic but did were you able to get any statistics of you know how it improved things did people find things quicker that sort of stuff I know we didn't actually have time for that because we wanted to get it done fast and because we we had to upgrade in June anyway so we had we wanted to get it really really fast and and basically everything you see here is just what we thought would be useful so so there wasn't any committees coming in and and wishing for things so we really had it very easy easy to to build that's why we were ahead of schedule of course it always helps when you don't have to ask anybody yes question in the end hold on unfortunately not it's it's really dirty javas or jq inquiry code it's not a block no actually so which actually we're just fetching things here and there and displaying it nicely okay any other questions even the clap started next door so thanks again
