 Hello again and welcome to our course wrap-up at the end of a very pleasurable Moodle Mooc. In this week session, I'm going to pass over shortly to Helen, who's going to give you the statistics of the weekly round-up, then I'm going to spend about 5 minutes talking about how you can access course materials from the course once the course is over. Then back to Helen, sy'n gwneud yn ychydig ychydig y byddwch gyda ni'n gweithio fel ddydd yn ymdeithasgol, a gydig i gydig i gael i'w ddysgol, yn ddod i'r gwirionedd ac bwysig i'r cyfwyr yng nghymru ac mae'n gweithio'r ddysgol i'r pethau.

Mae'n gweithio'r cyfnod o'r cyfnod o'r cyfnod, I'm going to talk to you for about five minutes about where to go from here. Okay, so if Eleanor next, I will mute their mics and I hope that you can see my where to go from here screen. Basically, I'm just going to mention two things, which is, as I said last week about further training if you want to take your Moodle skills a little bit further. Then many people have been messaging Helen and me asking if they can still use or access the course materials after the end of the course at the end of this month and can they use them on their own Moodles. So I'm going to go through those. First of all, I said this last week and it's worth reminding you in week four there is a page called learn Moodle the next steps. If you click on it, it takes you to some information about Moodle partners and Moodle partners funded this MOOC and they are the people to go to if you would like to do some more training at a different level. They can offer you training at various degrees levels and different types and not just training but also hosting support, custom development and so on. Now, as well as that, the teaching materials will be available. You might have seen the course notice board announcement. If you haven't, I'll just go through it again now. From Tuesday, the teaching with Moodle course where we've all been joining in will become read only. What that means is that you won't be able to post any questions or give any answers in the forums. You won't be able to do any of the activities but you will be able to read everything that's been going on. Then in terms of your practice course to give you a little bit more time to complete it and work through it, you have another week that will also allow you to make a copy of it to, as we say, back it up so that you can restore it and use it in your own Moodle site. So you've got another week to do that. After that, then your practice course will also be read only. Then you'll be able to look at everything until the 1st of January when the site will go. But the actual teaching materials will still be available in the sense that, and I'm going to talk about that now, in each section I've made some books and in these books is text, link to documentation and videos from YouTube. So one of the things that you can do if you like is if you click on a particular book then on the right hand side in the administration block you have the option to print either the whole book or just one particular section or chapter as a PDF. Now the formatting is quite basic but for example, if you were then to upload this into your own Moodle course on your own Moodle site the links to the documentation would still work. So that's one possibility. Another possibility that you have if I move on is each of the YouTube videos in the book if you click where it says YouTube, watch on YouTube.com That will then take you to the video itself hosted on YouTube and you just need to copy the address of the YouTube video up in the address bar, the URL and then in your own Moodle course you can paste this into for example a label or a page and as long as your administrator and you have the multimedia plugins enabled that link will become an embedded video as it is in our books. Now all of the videos there are 34 videos and they're actually hosted on the Moodle HQ YouTube channel youtube.com slash user slash Moodle HQ and so you're very welcome to go to that channel, they're in a playlist and you can get them from there and use them in your own courses. Another way that you can use them or that you can get them is if you go to again a label or a page or anywhere whether it's the tiny mce text editor and you click the insert Moodle media icon you can then search YouTube to find a video by name and embed it that way and in the book called How can I help my learners learn I actually explain and demonstrate how to do this in number seven I want to show my students videos so that's another way that you can get the YouTube videos and use them in your course perhaps for training. As well as the videos, the books also contain some text and at the bottom of the text there are documentation links as I've highlighted in yellow here. If I just magnify those these links take you to Moodle documentation on docs.moodle.org and there is Moodle documentation for every version of Moodle in English and also in many other languages and one thing that is very useful to know and you can look at this as a teacher in your own practice course here and if you're a teacher in a course on your own organisations Moodle you can check this also at the bottom of each page whatever activity resource or settings page that you're in you have a link that takes you to the Moodle docs for this page and so you get specific information to help you. If you go to docs.moodle.org the documentation is in five sections and for us learning as teachers it would be the managing a Moodle course and managing content which would be the most useful. For example, say we wanted to learn a little bit about how to put enrolment keys on our courses that would be part of managing the Moodle course so if we click there we then get to section where we could look at course enrolment because an enrolment key is part of course enrolment and so if we click course enrolment we can then look at an enrolment key how to use that and other examples for instance different methods of enrolment how to unenrol and so on so do check out the documentation which is also always available for you and then finally if you want to carry the conversation on in the forums after the course is ended and if you want to see Helen and me again please go to Moodle.org slash forums Moodle.org is a community site and Moodle.com is where you will get your training from partners and there are many forums in many different languages and they are very active and so we'd be very delighted to see you there joining in asking and helping so what I'm going to do now is I'm going to stop sharing my screen and I'm going to pass on to Helen for the next part of the session which is we're going to go back inside the workshop many people did the workshop and it was a very interesting experience so I'm going to pass over to Helen Thanks Mary Yes, as Mary said a very interesting experience doing the workshop with so many participants and if you have any questions about the workshop feel free to tweet or mention them in the chat now or if you'd like to post in the questions and answers forum let me now share my screen and we'll go behind the scenes part 2 of the workshop so looking as a teacher I can see here that the submissions the number of submissions expected that's the total number enrolled in the course 9,487 and the number submitted was 1,116 so a good number there submitted although obviously a lot less than the total number of enrollments due to it being a massive open online course and then in the looking in this column here in the grading evaluation phase we had 1,100 submissions and the number of assessments was 789 showing that slightly less people did an assessment as those that made a submission then moving down now the workshop is closed we have first of all on the page you as a student see the same conclusion at the moment it's just a single sentence but as being suggested in the forums we could do with improving that conclusion and explaining a little more then underneath is your grades I just have a grade for assessment because I assessed a few submissions but you should all have a grade for submission and a grade for assessment the grade for submission is a mark out of 80 and the grade for assessment is a mark out of 20 these numbers 80 and 20 can be changed for your workshop in the workshop settings in the forums some of you are saying you are a bit disappointed with the grades you obtained and I've been posting saying don't worry what's important is that you participated not the grades you obtained the submission grade is based on the people that assessed your work and there has been some discussion about whether more than three sentences is acceptable or not we tried to design this workshop activity to be extremely simple and straightforward but your feedback has shown that could be even more clearly stated the task it's important to have a very clear description of the task the grade for assessment is rather a complicated calculation I have referred people to the documentation if you want to find out exactly how your grade is calculated it's based on comparing how you assess submissions with how others people assess the same submissions so if everyone assesses it exactly the same then everyone gets full marks for their assessment if some people assess it less than others then the grade for assessment goes down for you all okay so there's your grades the workshop grades report I see as a teacher I'll come back to that in a second your submission well I didn't have time to submit anything but you should see your submission title there and then if you click on it that's how you get to see all the comments and the exact grades given to your submission publish submissions now this is something which I need to really explain in the conclusion above publish submissions are just a few submissions that Mary and I picked out there were so many good ones we were really spot for choice but we just picked out a few different example exemplary submissions that we like to look at of just out of interest so that you could see other people's work and then the final section assigned submissions if you want to know more about your grade for assessment then look down in this section here and you can click on the different submissions and then see what you gave them and the grade that was calculated now going back to the workshop grades report this is a section that only I see as a teacher in the course and here it shows well as I said we've got over 1,100 submissions lots of participants didn't submit anything if I go down here we can see these different sections I need to make the screen a bit make the screen a bit bigger to see across there are we able to see all of that going across so there we've got showing the different submission grade calculated and the assessment grade calculated so this particular participant got full marks for the assessment and a little bit less than full marks for their submission so when we had the workshop in the grading evaluation phase this was where Moodle was calculating all the submission grades and assessment grades because we had decided to allow late submissions what we found was lots of people submitted their work just at the last minute you know what students are like we have it right up until the very last minute so the deadline the final closing of the workshop was on Friday and lots of people submitted their work on Friday and those people there wasn't a chance for other people to assess their work so when the workshop was switched to the grading evaluation phase Mary and I and with a bit of help from one or two others went through and we had to assess all those very late submissions to make sure that everyone who submitted something at least got a grade for it and David Mudrak, the developer of the workshop module whilst we've been using the workshop in our teaching with Moodle course David's been busy making notes of all the improvements that need to be done for the workshop module to make it work well for massive open online courses and one thing he noted was there's no easy way in this interface for teachers to be able to see to be able to locate submissions that don't have a grade because they haven't been assessed so that's one improvement that David is thinking of making another issue that we came across was this issue of, as I said, people that submitted their work at the last minute because we allowed late submissions there was no time for them to be assessed so looking at possible solutions to that and maybe one thing would be not to not allow late submissions and to force everybody to get their submission in by a particular date we have now closed the workshop and we're still getting Mary and I getting requests for people who want to submit their work unfortunately it's too late the workshop has to be closed to allow everybody to see their assessments I think that's all for me to say on the workshop thank you very much to everyone who's posted so far in the questions and answers forum giving their feedback and their reflections on the workshop it's very interesting and helpful to read your reflections so please keep them coming and as I said if you do have any questions either now you can ask them or in the questions and answers forum thanks Mary do you want to say anything? I just wanted to say that was really thorough and very informative I think we're going to shortly have a look at some practice courses and make some comments on those but when you were saying about giving feedback on the workshop it reminded me that we're very grateful to all the people who filled in the feedback form at the end of week 4 what we thought would be nice also we're going to post this at the end of this session is in the good ideas forum perhaps if we could have a starter dialogue where you might like to give us your evaluation of the whole course in specific ways where you think that either we've done well or we could do better and maybe the workshop is a good example where you might have some good ideas for improving or for changing the ways in which things are done so that's a dialogue giving us feedback on the courses a whole in specific areas I think we're ready to have a look at some practice courses now before we look at our first practice course I just noticed Michelle is asking in the chat she says when only missing the workshop that's closed to get the badge is there another way to get the badge so Michelle is referring to the completer badge and unfortunately the only way to get the completer badge is to complete all of the activities and that was one dilemma that we had with the workshop with closing the workshop it does mean that if you haven't made a submission now you can't get the completer badge another alternative would have been to not make the workshop one of the criteria criteria but then maybe not so many people would have participated in the workshop so that's a bit of a dilemma that we had and we decided that yes the workshop had to be a criterion and unfortunately that does mean a few people are not able to get the completer badge but the completer badge isn't everything it's participating in as much of the course as possible and what you can learn from it and take away that's what's important, not just a badge Absolutely, very well said and another question about the workshop in the chat from Tina she says where can I see comments for me from people who assessed me in a workshop Tina, just to go back if you go to the workshop and look, there's a section that says your submission now I didn't submit anything but you did and in this section here there'll be the name of your submission and if you click on that link there you'll see all the different assessments if you still have trouble then maybe send me a real message another question on Twitter we will get to the courses in a second someone says on Twitter I'm not sure their name I'd like to know how many people actually finished the course and thanks to you Mary and Helen but it's lovely to receive all the thanks from everybody Mary and I have really really enjoyed helping with the course and we really appreciate everyone's participation how many people finished the course we will be publishing some statistics about that we can have a quick look haven't looked recently as to how many people have got badges let me see in the course administration badges let's see the latest the little sites slowing down a bit I don't know if that's because I'm an administrator hurry up there we go okay so the complete a badge to 563 participants have the complete a badge now let's look at some courses some practice courses the first course I'd like to look at was a course adopting a cat the teacher he's saying a name like that I asked on Twitter for us to look at a course and first of all I really like this course because it's got a very nice description here when you search the courses or the course listing page and if you have a course that gives guest access or self-enrolment then it's very good to write a nice description to encourage people to have a look in the course so doing just that taking a look in the course I really like this course it had a nice range of activities I especially liked the use of the lesson we have a look at this lesson considering the options it has different branches for the different options here one little suggestion I'd like to make is we see here the words the cat is auto-linked this is because if we go back to the course page we have a page resource called the cat and that means every time you say the word you write the word the cat here you see the cat it automatically links to this resource so whenever you get auto-linking like this that you don't want maybe you do want it in some cases say if you don't want it say in this lesson then we can stop it by going into filters and then we can stop the auto-linking either for the activity as we're doing now we can also do it for the whole course if we want and here we see the activity names auto-linking and we can just turn it off we have all the different auto-linking options that are enabled in the course but the low moodle site we enabled everything even this mathematical notation so this interface here allows you to turn off selected filters as you wish maybe in a quiz you want to turn off glossary auto-linking so if we just save that change you should find then back in the activity that it's no longer linked I'll just refresh up page one more little thing about the course where are we oops I'm getting into trouble trying to go too fast just wait a sec gone slow now maybe while we're waiting for the there we go so now that's saved what I was going to say about the course another little suggestion is I see that these topics three and four are not being used if we turn editing on we find a nice easy way to get rid of those sections another possible way is going into the settings for the course and that allows you to specify how many course settings course sections we have but I've turned editing on and then if I scroll to the bottom here we have little icons where we can add an extra section if we want or reduce them so if we want to get rid of sections not being used then we just click on that one there I can just go back to my lesson now and I can see that the word, the phrase, the cat is no longer linked because I've turned off that filter OK Can I just make a comment as well I'm watching the chat on YouTube as well and David Terrell said he's looking at the about me block there where our teacher has talked a little bit about herself of the picture and he said he wasn't able to find a block that enabled him to do that so I'm assuming that this is a simple HTML block and it's a very nice way if you're a teacher in a course of introducing yourself with some information so David if you want to do that add an image and some details about you Thanks Mary Did you want to say anything else about the course or shall we move on to another course Shall we move on to another course, yes Next course up OK, well I looked at this one this appealed to me survival Hindi I really liked it because I think this is a course in the early stages and you can see that it has a lot of potential the teacher, I think it's Joel Gehring I hope I've pronounced your name right is trying out a lot of different activities to help people learn Hindi so you can see that he's tried a YouTube video a little bit lower down he also has an mp3 file now you can actually if you put it in a label using the Moodle media icon you can embed that mp3 file so it will play directly on your page as well and because this is a languages course Moodle really comes into its own for being able to use sound and video like that one thing that I would point out if you could just move up to the image I think it's a lovely image but I think it's rather large for the course perhaps make that slightly smaller and put it at the top of the course page and another thing that occurred to me I can't speak any Hindi but I still had a go at the quiz and I actually just by guessing in the quiz I got everything right and I felt really proud of myself but I didn't really deserve to get full marks simply by guessing and so I just like to mention that when you get a bit more experienced with Moodle quizzes there is something called certainty based marking and if you set that up with each question you have then when you answer or when the student answers they also have to confess how confident they were of their answer or whether they were just guessing and the final grade reflects that so if I had done the quiz with that I might not have got such a good score but I did like this course because of the fact that Joel was trying out different ways of teaching Hindi rather than just for instance a list of PDFs or static pages so those are my comments on survival Hindi Thanks Mary Moving on I'm looking at a course that was requested by Adrian in the chat I think is Now Mary and I haven't looked at this course before so Mary maybe you'd like to give your thoughts OK well again we have an HTML block at the top right with an image and a link presumably to the website so that is very good and very clear showing you what it's about so I think there is a page in the book in week one Learning on the Side which explains about HTML blocks and they're possibly the most customizable block that you have in Moodle and they're well worth using in your course We also have the tweet down there which is good How do you include tweets in a block Mary? I think you need to go to Twitter and I think in the settings there there is a URL that you use I don't always do this because I sometimes find that things like RSS feeds and tweets can sometimes slow your page down so I would think carefully before adding them but we've been using them on the teaching with Moodle course and it's a very quick and efficient way of tweeting about but again when you put a lot of things from other websites for instance several YouTube videos directly on your course it does sometimes make it a little slower to bring everything in We also have the online users block that's nice for showing who's accessing the course at the same time as you and nobody else at the moment and then it's another course that's set to show one section per page so when you first look at it all the different sections are shown and then when you access one section then the others you can let's let it load and then you can see this is good if you have many sections and each section has a lot of information in it it breaks it up for your students although sometimes when you do access it for the first time you might be a little bit confused but then when you're in a section you have an arrow to the right or to the left as well if you're in a lower down section and it's a very handy way of displaying your activities wow there's lots and lots in this so this is well worth using one section per page yeah definitely I notice that each section has got the default name topic 1, topic 2, topic 3 and each of these are links when you in the navigation block so you may like to turn editing on and just rename those section headings so that people to give people an idea of what each section is about and that will also apply when we like looking at the page the course page in the beginning when all the sections are shown if it just says topic 1, topic 2 then it doesn't give much idea of what's inside wow I can see that it's actually really hard on this course there's a lot of activities in there did you want to say anything else Mary? no I think that's a very good course for us to have had a look at and thanks to Adrian for volunteering it yeah thank you very much just looking now through we've got another course mentioned in the chat this course is from Maria Theresa well again we have the picture of Maria Theresa I'm assuming that's you and that is lovely because as soon as we come to the course we know who you are and you've made it personal to us as the student so again that's a great use of that HTML block so this is in Portuguese I think Portuguese so we've got nice big icons there I presume for the different sections and Maria has this search forums block at the top so I'm assuming that she's expecting to have a lot of forum activity in her course also that's one that's been useful in the teaching with Moodle course when we have so many different posts again I can see different activities there which is always good from the icons rather than just loads of pages to try out different things especially the more collaborative things such as glossaries for example and then to get people discussing in forums and I actually think there has been a lot of discussion in the good ideas forums of different ways to hide what some people call the scroll of death which is when you have a lot of sections and people have to scroll down or different ways of displaying your course sections but I actually believe that there isn't anything wrong with having sections with named titles or perhaps with a little image or a banner and then scrolling down to see them because it does actually make it quite clear where you are and what it's about and this is a good example of that we're exactly clear what it is we're doing and we kept to that in the teaching with Moodle course full sections saying what they were and you scroll down to each one and thanks to Maria Theresa for volunteering the course forums very attractive course there even if we don't understand Portuguese OK have we got time to look at one more course Mary? Let's do one more and then we'll have a final round up of any questions if there are any more questions OK OK this is from Birgit I think and I saw this course in the show us your course forum and I really liked it because I think she has put an awful lot of work into planning out how she's going to deliver the learning materials to her students now again I think if we scroll down if I recall correctly this is also one section per page and so it's going to make it easier for her students to navigate through and again she's using a variety of activities to teach information literacy she's got an assignment there she's got a forum she has a quiz I actually took a look in the quiz and I thought there was an awful lot of detail in it and I would have had to have actually gone through the course and learn the material before I could have a go at the quiz it was quite complex and very well thought out and so this is a course that she can just go and use in her own organisation and I think it would be very successful so this is an example of a matching question there I think quiz is a very powerful tool in Moodle and a lot of people simply think it's just for multiple choice and nothing else but there are many different question types and not only the standard ones that we have in the teaching with Moodle course but if your administrator allows it so bring in other contributed question types which make a quiz very very efficient informative and in summative assessment okay just looking at a question that's coming on the chat from Michelle she says if a user wants to create a blank sheet of paper to take notes while serving your course what would you suggest? well I guess you can add the comments block to show up on all pages in your course that students can add little comments in the quiz we just saw that there's an option to not to add a comment but you can flag a question so that you can know to come back to it later I guess if I was wanting to add notes I would probably open up a word document or something like that to take notes what would you do Mary? if I was taking notes on a course then I'd probably have a piece of paper and a pen I think there's nothing wrong with that from time to time if I wanted to do it actually as you say online then I would use a text editor like Notepad for example just to type something in very very quickly there is a question from Martine as well who's saying that she can't access the chat at the same time as the watching the video and that is something that Helen I think you might have explained that a couple of weeks ago but I would like to point out that all of the live sessions are being recorded and so if you do miss anything from swapping from the chat to the live session then it will be available for you at the end one option I'm not sure if I did mention it previously you can open them in two windows and if you have a big enough monitor then you could have two windows side by side but yeah it can be difficult trying to follow lots of things all at once are there any other questions if we missed any questions I'll just remind you as we draw to a close that we'd like in the Good Ideas Forum if you'd like to give us some feedback and perhaps about the chat and using the Moodle chat which again that was an experiment also and the workshop so anything that you thought worked really well if we did do it again that's not certain but ways in which you think we could improve it just looking through more questions here now Jens is saying do you have suggestions of pages with icons and small graphics to use in Moodle I learned about a site called TheNounProject.com I think it was either from Martin our founder or XY a social media expert but if you go to that website there are some very good icons there in my school where I used to teach they used to get students to design them and then you know that you have permission to use them OK I think we're pretty much through the questions I'll stop sharing my screen now I would like to say how much Mary and I have really enjoyed helping you all with this teaching with Moodle course and how much we've learned we've really learned a huge amount from you all so thank you very much for that and as Mary said we hope that you reflect on the different activities and other things in the course and please do post your comments and reflections in good ideas for them OK so thank you from me as well it's kind of taken over our lives for the last four weeks but with great pleasure and great interest and I have learned such a lot as well so as a teacher you're constantly learning and I think that's been a fantastic experience and it's been a privilege to do so I think we're going to wrap it up now thank you very much, thanks to XY who's been very good helping us to see and answer some questions so from Ian Helen and the Sites team at Moodle thank you very much and we're going to end it now thank you bye bye
