 So thank you welcome to this session about good almost offline learning strategies, so Few words to myself We are a moodle partner in Austria think modular and here meet our lovely team Which is creating great content creating great platforms. We are doing consultancy and also Working with offline content. This is what drives us every day. So we are team of 25 we are based in Vienna and Yeah, but our projects are worldwide and this is also a little bit what we are pursuing to say, okay We have heard today. Maybe in other sessions. I think it was in the morning in in telebord Leave no one behind Get learning out there. This is more or less what we put on our agenda That's the reason why we dedicate ourselves a lot with offline learning because we will see later Not everywhere digital online learning is possible as maybe we understand it here Okay, um, I want to start with you. Yeah, I made a small Mentimeter Inquiry it might be to one or other a stupid question, but please I ask you to answer that Sorry, yeah Digital technology. So I heard I have 15 minutes sharp. So I will really stop it within the next minute So, please please please vote vote vote ten more seconds nine eight seven ignition six five Four ready for takeoff three two one takeoff. So Yeah That's an interesting result The most of you have practically access on your workplace all the time Yeah, just I see five of you not all the time. So but the most of you have have it Wait a second Sorry We made a very similar question in a different context in this case. It was a TTC teacher training college in Malawi and these were primary school teacher trainings trainees Where we installed a setup a training program and one of the question was okay How many hours do you have functioning internet at your TTC teacher training college? Very similar to question that we have The result is kind of different It's already three years ago. So maybe now this answer will be different things change really quickly But by the time more of half of the students didn't have any let's say reliable internet connectivity and This is what I would like to talk about today because if we go to offline learning, we have a lot of different aspects We have to consider. Yeah, but today Due to time constraints I would really go towards the learners connectivity issue and analyze that and show you how we Dealed with that in several projects. Yeah Okay. Yeah, maybe some facts and figures before we really start so yeah The situation is the connectivity is really growing fast. I myself I was working in just for instance in Mozambique for three years And I was responsible for new technology at a university where there by the time Internet was really really really hard to get and if I look at this figures This gives hope to say okay even in Let's say in continents where there is let's say Not such a good connectivity or was a good connectivity right now. It's getting bad better rapidly if you see just for instance 82% of their Population in the on the African continent just for instance have 3g mobile network. Yeah, this for sure was a boost but so So but we can't look just at continents continents is is a very Broad region of the world We have to look a little bit closer and just for instance if you see where the red regions are people have a lower usage of Internet lower than 20% of the population actually using the internet for whatever they do It's not focused to just to to learning but for all the purposes So there are let's say countries where there it might you might have a target group Which is not able to access for whatever reason economically and with technology But don't worry even Austria where I'm I'm coming from has a lot of blind spots Just for instance if I want to call my mother-in-law I have to do it on the landline there's no way out and Despite of maybe some let's say Serotypes, I really like to call her okay. Let's focus a little bit more on the bandwidth issue Okay, because bandwidth problems is not just bandwidth problems because for each problem There can be a different strategy to work with and I'm really happy that one was around here because one of it is the bootlap But we come to that later Yeah, best case good bandwidth. It's just up here Everything is fine. You have good bandwidth. You can watch videos. You can actually do any digital activity It's not restricted any any kind Next is slow bandwidth. We heard 3g Watching video with 3g. I don't know who of you Likes that. I don't know. I don't the videos are really not so nice So but they're still bandwidth. There's still a few things to do Temporarily not no bandwidth so it can happen for several reasons power cuts whatsoever that you don't have Internet available, but then you have even maybe in a good quality another Problem could be geographically so you are maybe in the valley like my mother-in-law But if she wants to call with the mobile phone, she has to go up to the hill and This is a very common problem if you look at this at this fellow here on the side Yeah, the first thing if you don't have connectivity, I think the most of us put their cell phones in there They are it doesn't make any difference, but it's an instinct we have But there are really strategies and say okay. How what can we do about that or? No bandwidth at all. So the next Possibility where you can get banned with is miles hours of cycling Swimming whatever a way But for each of these are some strategies and I want to show you two Due to time constraints. Yeah, I show you the two that we actually set up the mood lab I think the mood lab in terms of Offline capabilities is a game changer to be honest So it it's already around for ten years. It's mature. It's stable. We heard when what is planned about that I think this is a very promising approach and we really like to use the mood lab and and just for instance What is here on the side? This is one of our projects that we did in Malawi as well and there we implemented the training for epocos This is ultrasound machinery and doctors and medical stuff is we trained them with that and This is actually offline capable We were using videos and we were using quizzes very simple didactical design But it works really nice and to the video I come later because you could imagine video. Okay huge size But we managed somehow to squeeze it in You don't need any complex server structure I come to that also later because you can see here the box. Yeah There's moodle installed but it comes with a little trade-off and this one you don't have with the app The app you can be it can be used you have a server you use it. It synchronizes really. It's a charm When we go back to the scenarios we had with the bandwidth where we would Consider using the app is just for instance with slow bandwidth. Okay, you go somewhere You have slow bandwidth you say download the course and then you wait Maybe you put yourself on here go for a coffee or for a beer come back and then you have the content on it Maybe you need two or three beers. Maybe so it depends Temporarily no bandwidth. Okay, same thing here. You wait until you have internet You download the course and then it's available for you content is there and you can actually use it And relocate. Yeah, go up to the hill download the course fine What are the chances of such a setup? Okay, no end user maintenance. Maybe this is not entirely true. It's you have End users have to install the app anyway, but this is very simple. It's available on any app store You download it you connect ready. This is was really really this works really nice Syncs with server automatically so just for instance you have a forum entry you have a quiz You can even do it offline the quiz with a few tweaks. You have to be honest But you can do that so don't use deferred feedback. I think this is still not working or one I don't know with the quiz It is possible It's not possible. Of course, it's not possible. You can't do that five minutes. Oh my god Okay, let's go to the challenges Yeah, not all interactivity is available. You have to check. Okay, which one you can use actually The mood app renders differently than the the online version means you have to cross check. Okay how does my interactivity I use actually behave and For client servers, of course, you need to be online somehow And it's moodle only The second one. It's the moodle box. We heard it several times already We used it as well. It's actually a tiny moodle server. It's over there So everyone who is around let's say 10 meters could actually log in it switched on I installed a moodle there And it can be used it's based on the Raspberry Pi. It's a tiny moodle server The moodle box initiative itself is is mostly just the software. We pimped it a little bit because we Very often where it was supposed to use there is also power issues and something like that so we put in a UPS and a battery we put in a router a stronger router because this was one of the main drawbacks Um Maybe the chances is this this mood box is well documented. The Raspberry Pi is Against its fame. It's really powerful, especially when you have enough memory eight gigabyte and You can also install other platforms like and next cloud key weeks, whatever, whatever, whatever So it's it's actually more. Let's say broader than the moodle app. I Jump to the next one. Maybe To to have a decision-making if you have a decision to make okay in my projects, which way to go go where there's the most green Please yeah That means if you have to use the moodle box It can get somehow complex But of course there are scenarios where the moodle box makes perfect sense Where there is no internet and people can't get internet then use the moodle box or when temporarily means okay You have every day five minutes internet Or you have content which is Actually impossible to get to the users then the moodle box makes sense But if this is not the case think about it There may be other options are more let's say convenient easier to set up more sustainable at the end Yeah, and of course the most simple solution would be the online the normal moodle online people go online With the browser this would be the easiest solution. How much do we have I? Promised instructional design. I'm so sorry that I have a rush through that, but you see some Some let's say which impact does the instructional design have to moodle I was talking about the project with the ultrasound machinery We used videos, but the cool thing was we used very static videos We used recordings from PowerPoint sounds boring But the thing is we compressed it and the video was smaller than the PowerPoint itself that we recorded Which means okay, we had actually we could make use of the dual channel of visual and of sound and Provided to the learners So if we would have put just friends and I've seen some videos where there's somebody's talking and that's who the PowerPoint Presentation we didn't do that because a person which is moving around you can't compress it that nicely It will be big it will be not accessible for the users These are all Interactivities in moodle. Maybe you know it. This is the feedback. This is the assignment Chris H5P scum packages forum These are all available a moodle and these are offline available Yeah, and here the media of course images, please images video or files or audio This is all available offline on the app. So As well, of course on the moodle platform on the moodle box So here's some you have the slides you can even be analyzed Okay, which interactivity and which content makes sense or which can cause trouble doesn't mean don't use video, but use it with care So do we have time for the recommendations? That's nice Make things smaller. Yeah, please if you use the content Please provide it in a way that define in a final stage. We have seen courses for Regions where we know there is no real Possibility to download they had four gigabyte People were asking why is this not working? Of course, you can't download for a gigabyte if you have a modem like connectivity Please compress it cut its Datic content adapted for the final use case. So if you use an image with 200 Thumbnail, please don't use the original image with 2000 2000 pixel Check your interactivities avoid bandwidth intense activities especially for the moodle app Check if chosen interactivity is available on the app. This is growing every day So please if I say now this is not working maybe tomorrow. It is a line technologies Choose the less complex solution Here are some other initiatives that we are already have experience with and times up. Thank you
