 Workplace users of Moodle is really a weird one because actually most higher ed and further ed also use it internally as much as they use it in teaching students. I think virtually every university that I've dealt with over the last eight years use it for staff training before the staff actually even train or start teaching their students. So I've always found Moodle in the workplace a bit weird in that respect, but moving swiftly along. First, he did what role you're in. I'm going to do what sector you're in. So back to the mobile app please and go and vote. Okay, so if you can quickly go to the mobile app please. There we go. Got a few higher ed, government, corporate. Pardon? No, no. None that sure you've got multiple personalities. Oh, okay. That's good. Nice to meet you all. Okay, so we've got a mix here of different levels. We've known K-12, which is pretty normal for the Moodle mode. I think it's really interesting that there are so many ways I've seen Moodle used in organizations. I mean if we look at the first one there, it's mentioning like hiring process. Anyone here use Moodle in their hiring process? Okay, so one of the things I've seen there is that they actually use, for example, questionnaire and quiz and assignment when people are applying for jobs. They're uploading their CVs. They're filling in pre-interview questionnaires. They're taking either knowledge quizzes or even corporate knowledge or sectoral knowledge quiz could be technical ones as well. And maybe they're being asked to, I know when I was hiring developers a few years back, I used to set them a task before I would take them on board. And they would have to actually submit that code in advance before the interview because I'd get them to go through it. So Moodle was able to be part of that hiring workflow. And it's just a really easy way to do it. One of the others is product rollout. Who here uses Moodle for any product rollout teaching their staff about product? Anyone here use Moodle for teaching their staff how to use Moodle? You're all using it for product training. Yeah? Because you're teaching them how to teach online and how to use the system. So that's what it is. So it's interesting that people don't necessarily correlate what they do with maybe how others might describe it. What about regulatory compliance? Now what I mean for this is health and safety training that someone goes in and they have to do that or they're not allowed lift that box or climb up that ladder or in the case of Erlingas in Ireland, they had their pilots do a one year what was a ground school training. And every year, if they didn't complete it on time, they weren't flying home the next day because Moodle updated their HR system directly to allow them continue flying. So I remember they were giving a presentation about some of their pilots frantically in Amsterdam completing their online courses at two and three a.m. So what about professional development for informal learning communities or that dirty word communities of practice? I've always found that a bit of a strange word communities of practice as it means that they still haven't got it right and I don't know it's a but I do like this whole inferno the sort of informal learning it's the social learning where you have people sort of trying to share good practice perhaps. And what about corporate structured learning places? This is where it's a full structure of sales departments and product departments all that sort of stuff one or two. So these are some of the types of things that people use Moodle for. But the interesting thing when you flip this on its head, it's actually often very the same very much the same kind of tasks that they do. So for all of them when you've got booking training. So are any of the catalyst people here still? Okay, sorry. So I'll just jump through those. So let's see. So if we look at sort of being able to they want to be able to set up certain classes, the staff might be able to book them or even sometimes their boss might want to book them on to something, but you want to track people who are attending. So a really simple one you could use a choice and say, hey, we're doing four training sessions next week, Monday of Thursday, choose one of them. That's a nice straightforward way. It doesn't have the same level of sort of reporting and flexibility as other systems, but it could work. Another one of them is the scheduler activity. And these are this is a plug in which you can then schedule certain things and have people sign up to them. And of course, with our lovely contrast for the projector here, I'm not sure if you can see that at all. But it's this bright green light with pink floating stuff. No. Sorry. And then you have the face to face activity. I have to put a comment there is because it's not really supported very well. It is and as Stacy actually says in in the thing, but it is really very, very good. So I like it of all of these systems. I like it the most. And it's much more traditional. You set up a room, you have your your seats available, you can do things like waitlisting, signing up. And that's really very, very powerful. So any chance you can give them a hug and persuade them to do more updates. Okay, so that's those. What do you think about those sort of mechanisms, be it core or any of the plugins? Is there anything which you think, well, that wouldn't work for this? Anyone? Okay. So what about certification? Well, certificates and in general, being able to issue that, you want to be able to brand them, you want to be able to customize what appears on them. And there's a few certificates. I don't know where you were in the session where Michael was talking about the certificate module and the changes that are happening there. I'll mention that again in a moment. But one of the things you could do is issue badges that the benefits of badges are quite simple. They're easy to implement. You can set a criteria and they're verifiable. So when someone goes to put a badge in their backpack or wherever they put it, that URL calls back to Moodle to prove they've done it. And one of the things I say, that's really good. But as someone else mentioned, do it properly. Good design, good marketing. Really, don't just go to something like open badges.me and design something, unless you're a graphic designer. And then you'll be doing it in an illustrator anyway. But the cons are open badges aren't well known. There's a project done with a lot of school kids and no clue to them, they were just cute graphics. But that's okay. What about a certificate? Well, there's a plugin in Moodle called Certificate. And you can configure it to a certain extent. One of the variations is a thing called Simple Certificate. And it's very well supported and it's the one I prefer if you can't get that from my tone. Because literally, you can upload a background and then anything that appears on it is you have a HTML area and you can drop in variables of the person's name, the course name and so on. So if you can do HTML on a background image, you're a winner. So if you can use Microsoft Word, you can use this. It's that easy. But with all third-party plugins, it's pros and cons. And that's literally the kind of sort of configuration you can do. It can look really nice. So it comes down to how good is your background. Then you do certificate activity, which Mark Nelson, the guy from HQ in Perth, he's the one who looks after this, as you can see, on a huge amount of sites. And it is up to date, but it's not as friendly to use. But so what he's doing at the moment, he's been working on one where you have literally a visual whizzy-quake editor for doing the layout. Super cool and sexy. So we're hoping that he'll get that into 3.1. Fingers crossed. He's got a bit of work still to do, but it is really nice. And then there'll be a core because that's one of the things. Both of these are outside core. So having something in core would be very nice. Oh, and apologies. Some people don't like me calling technology sexy, but this is sexy. Trust me. So progress monitoring. Your time is wrong, Matt. Good. Fine. So what about the requirements for tracking progress? I think it comes down to these three things. You want the students and you want the teachers or the learners and the facilitators to be able to see things. You've got activity completion, which I love. I'll zip through this. You've also got the progress bar, which of course is Michael here or is he in the next store? Oh, he's hiding in the middle. Okay. There. It's all his fault. It's great. I love it. It's on every site that I know that I can influence the people to put it in because it just really helps the students to know where they are and what they've got left to do. I think you call it sort of a time management tool more than, yeah, it's just really very nice. If you haven't used it, where have you been for the last two years? And that's how it can look on their dashboard. They can see multiple progress bars. I just love it. And then from the reporting, who here use Google Analytics on their website? Okay. How many use it within Moodle? How many use it with this plugin within Moodle? Okay. So what this does, it takes it to a completely different level. Moodle URLs have like slash course, slash view, dot PHP and sort of an unreadable URL. So what this does, it converts them into something readable that will give you much better reporting so you can group categories together, group quizzes across categories, do pivot table reporting, and be able to start like having league tables between different programs and stuff. It's really quite cool. So if you haven't played around with it, go play around with it. And the guy who's behind this is sitting over there. So you can make him blush. So I love this one in particular where you can literally watch them go from page to page and you know because of the name. You don't have to guess what course is that? Like it's ID equals 27. And then you've got configurable reports. And I love this as well. But I just find it a little bit hard for those who don't do SQL. But there's a lot of things you can just do without having that sort of knowledge as well.
