        Getting started teaching with Moodle

        This is a workshop for the first-time Moodler. Participants will be able to learn the basics of Moodle by working, hands-on with a real live online Moodle site. The basics of the site, course contexts and categories will be explained before moving on to how to actually use Moodle for teaching. The workshop will be scaffolded using the SDCE (Static, Dynamic, Communicative, Explorative) model. Participants will first look at adding Static contents for students, for example providing slides and/or handouts for download as PDF or adding multimedia contents. Next, we will look at how to use Moodle’s more interactive (Dynamic) features like quizzes and the choice module. Following this will be a demonstration of using Moodle for Communication and collaboration between students, leading into students Exploring their world and sharing what they find with their classmates. The many challenges facing both the student and teacher will be discussed as well as general course planning strategies for the smooth adoption of e-learning with Moodle.

        Moodle-ception: Plugging a Moodle into another Moodle using LTI and Google Assignments with Moodle

        There are many reasons one may wish to have users from one Moodle be able to access activities and resources from another Moodle: maybe a plugin is unavailable on one Moodle but available on another; or for example in the case of the International Virtual Exchange Project, it may be beneficial to have students access a course on a different Moodle with Single-Sign-On (SSO) in order to have a central online place for interaction and collaboration. Learning Tools Interoperability makes it possible to connect two Moodles together and even have grades passed between the connected systems. In this workshop, participants will create two separate Moodle instances and share one course to the other using LTI.

        --- Google Assignments w/Moodle ----

        In recent years, it has been possible to use Google’s Workspace for Education tools to manage assignments from within Moodle through an application called Google Assignments.This is possible by using Learning Tools Interoperability (LTI) integration. Students can submit assignments in the form of Google Documents, Spreadsheets, or Slides. The teachers benefit from the power of Google document’s shared editing and feedback and give grades by way of rubrics made right in the Google Assignment.

        The workshop begins with an overview of Assignments. Following this, participants will have an opportunity to experience Assignments as both a student and a teacher. As a student, participant will experience the process of submitting and receiving feedback on an assignment.

        After this, participants will learn how teacher’s set-up a Google Assignment using LTI and how Google organizes the folder structures in Google Drive, as well as basic features such as creating rubrics, and how to grade an assignment. Following this, they will discuss the perceived benefits and drawbacks. Prior to using Google Assignments in Moodle, the presenters had used Google Classroom. Based on this experience, the presenters will conclude by comparing Google Classroom to Google Assignments in Moodle.

        Participants should bring their own computer and have their own Google account.

        Self, Peer and Teacher Assessment Using Moodle: Using Rubrics and Giving Feedback is Easy with VAM!

        Student performances are best assessed by analytic rubrics rather than holistic letter grades or general summative categories. Formative assessment using rubrics and actionable feedback can improve student learning and teacher instruction. Teachers, peers or performing students can administer the assessment and feedback. In this workshop, the three teacher-developers who created the Video Assessment Module (VAM) for Moodle 4.x will demonstrate how the plugin can be used to assess live performances in a classroom full of individual learners who perform a similar type of skill. There are six parts to this ninety-minute workshop:
        1. Designing a rubric on paper to assess a partner
        2. How to put a rubric into VAM
        3. Feedback made easier (new VAM function 2022 and 2023)
        4. Blended classroom management of students using VAM
        5. VAM Quick Setup
        6. Downloading and installing VAM, support and improvements
        At the end of the workshop, participants will be able to install VAM, design rubrics, set up a performance task, assign the task to students, have them do the task in class in parallel groups and then have them grade their own performances.

        Setting up Matrix for Moodle

        This workshop aims to provide participants with practical knowledge and hands-on experience in setting up a Matrix server to be used in conjunction with a Moodle server. Matrix is an open-source communication protocol and decentralized network for secure and private real-time communication.

        During this workshop, participants will learn the fundamental concepts of Matrix and its relevance to the Moodle environment. The workshop will cover the step-by-step process of setting up a Matrix server and integrating it with the Moodle server. Participants will gain practical insights into configuring the Matrix server and establishing secure communication channels within the Moodle environment.

        Hands-on exercises and demonstrations will be an integral part of this workshop, allowing participants to gain confidence in performing the installation, configuration, and administration tasks. The workshop facilitators will guide participants through the process, providing support and addressing any challenges that may arise. By the end of the workshop, participants will have a solid understanding of how to set up a Matrix server in conjunction with a Moodle server.

        Note: This workshop assumes a basic understanding of networking concepts and familiarity with Moodle LMS administration. Participants are encouraged to bring their laptops with the necessary software pre-installed to actively participate in the hands-on exercises.

        Moodle for Admissions Office (AO) Entrance Examination Delivery

        Many universities in Japan utilize an alternative university entrance pathway titled AO (Admission's Office) Entrance. The process varies widely from university to university but it is common for universities to administer some type of language assessment in conjunction with student presentations or interviews under the premise that the AO system is for students with special experiences or abilities or for students who are more talented at presenting themselves as candidates than at obtaining scores on traditional examinations. This presentation will introduce use of Moodle and a lightly customized instance of the Quiz plugin to administer an integrated skills (listening, reading, and writing) examination used in the AO entrance system. This process was first introduced, in one department, at the presenter's university in 2015 and continues to be used to the present. Due to university administrator concerns about access and security, a unique Moodle site is created each year to deliver the AO examination. This presentation will cover the process used for developing the examination, setup and customization of a new site each year, and other issues and developments that have occurred in the 9 years since it was first introduced on our campus. Customization code will be provided to those interested and sufficient time for Q and A and discussion will be provided. Yes

        生物学実験の成績評価方法と点数の推移の検証

        帯広畜産大学基盤教育の必修科目である生物学概論をMoodleを用いて運営している。受講生は1年生約250人と過年度履修生を合計して260人前後である。本科目の成績は、講義前の1週間で実施される予習テスト、講義後の1週間で実施される復習テストに、中間テストおよび期末テストを加えて合計100点満点として評価する。合格点とする60点以上を得点した学生の平均点と標準偏差は、2018年度は88.44±9.21、2019年は77.38±8.96、2020年度は91.59±5.95、2021年度は91.29±6.84、2022年度は90.60±8.11となり、2020年度以降の平均点が高くばらつきの小さい傾向が続いた。そこで本(2023)年度は、これまで何回も受験可能としていた予習・復習テストを1回のみ受験可能となるよう設定変更し、中間テストを廃止し期末テストのみ実施することとした。この成否について、平均点と点数の分布、およびスクリプトを利用して一括取得した各種テストの解答時間等の経年変化から検討する。これにより、生物学におけるオンラインテストの課題や有効性を定量的に明らかにしたい。

        DripRelease: New Developments for 2024

        In our 2023 presentation we explained the rationale for and basic functionality of DripRelease, a custom plugin designed by Marcus Green. The DripRelease plugin enables teachers to easily set rolling deadlines for quiz activities throughout a term such that students are assigned to complete X number of quiz activities each Y day period over the Z length term (e.g. 5 quizzes every 7 days over 15 weeks). Rolling deadlines have been shown to increase incremental completion of homework activities rather than student cramming (and possibly cheating) at the end of term. This year’s presentation will highlight the incorporation of groups such that separate groups can be assigned different quizzes. We will demonstrate how we are working toward our ultimate aims of having both rolling deadlines and at least partially randomized quiz activities. Students will be able to complete homework assignments incrementally during the term and will be allocated different quizzes at different times. This is an effort to reduce the ease with which some students occasionally appear to cheat. Participants will be given access to the developmental site. We welcome input as we strive to improve the plugin and make it applicable to the widest possible audience.

        Creating quiz question banks with ChatGPT

        In this session the presenter will explain in detail how the well-known AI tool "ChatGPT" was used to create a large number of Moodle quiz questions, suitable for filling a question category and adding to a Moodle Quiz as a "random" question. The explanation will include a description of the choice of model (GPT-3.5-turbo, GPT-4) and the development of suitable prompts that produce reliable and well-structured output.

        The prompts were developed by interacting directly with ChatGPT via its website. Several question formats were tested including text, GIFT and XML. By giving examples and using place-markers in templates, it was possible to create prompts that "trained" ChatGPT to give useable responses formatted as XML that could be directly "imported" into the Moodle question bank.

        In the final stage of the project, a PHP script was developed to send the prompts to ChatGPT via its API. Upon receiving the output from ChatGPT, the script automatically adds the questions into Moodle. At the end of the presentation, an actual implementation of this technique to produce a bank of questions suitable for training and testing vocabulary will be demonstrated.

        ChapGPT Productive and Unproductive Uses in Moodle

        ChatGPT is an Open AI tool that can produce text-based answers to complex questions, summarizing a wealth of sources published and available on the internet. Students who install and learn to use ChatGPT can pose and answer complex questions that might be used in projects, assignments, tests and exams. ChatGPT’s ability to generate content with well-reasoned arguments and smooth grammar can potentially allow students to avoid assessments of their skills in writing and in summarizing. However, by careful design of tasks and projects, teachers can instead harness ChatGPTs ability to force students to frame their questions carefully and actually take research a step further based on their own experiences. These are more productive uses of ChatGPT. In this lightning talk, I will also refer to current research and applied pedagogy of ChatGPT within Moodle LMS in the past year, as well as propose a framework of development projects that educators can contribute to within a Japan Moodle Product Advisory Group (PAG).

        The next generation of Moodle integrates Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Open Educational Technology (OET) into an online and blended learning ecosystem. In this talk, the founder of Moodle, Dr. Martin Dougiamas, will offer a vision of how lifelong learning will evolve around an infrastructure that includes the Moodle LMS but also is interconnected with portfolios, OER (MoodleNet), learning records/credentials, persistent whiteboards/BBB, cloud technologies, and other tools/environments. He has recently founded another society called OpenEdTech (https://openedtech.global). While head of research at Moodle HQ, Martin will outline how the next generation of Moodle will connect these critical learning networks with individuals so that their learning is empowered, even in the most remote corners of the Earth, and make it easier for teachers to be empowered to change their classroom, their school and their society. Japanese society, which values education at the highest level in the world, is joining this movement at the forefront of lifelong education and learning organizations.

        学習分析・教育評価の実際とMoodleの活用 / Learning analytics and educational evaluation in practice with Moodle

        コロナ禍を経て、MoodleをはじめとしたLMSの活用が増加しています。これにより、教育・学習のデータが従来より取得しやすい状態となってきました。昨今では、「個別最適化の学び」「学習データの活用」など、教育・学習データの活用事例である学習分析が話題となっています。 当然ながら、学習分析を行うにはその前提として「データ」が不可欠となりますが、実際問題として、「どのようなデータが取得可能」なのでしょうか。また、データ取得にあたって、そもそも「教育評価とはどのようになされる」のでしょうか。今回の講演では、学習分析やそのベースとなる教育評価の実際について、Moodleの活用事例を踏まえた講演を行います。

        Following the COVID-19 pandemic, the use of LMSs, including Moodle, has increased. This has made it easier than ever to obtain data on education and learning. Learning analytics, which is the use of education and learning data exemplified in such topics as "individualized optimization of learning" and "utilization of learning data," has become a hot topic in recent years. "Data", of course, is indispensable for learning analysis, but what kind of data can be obtained? And how is education evaluated through the acquisition of data? In this keynote, learning analytics and the actual practice of educational evaluation that forms its basis, will be discussed through examples of use of Moodle applications.

        Usability and Innovation: Assessing the UPOU Massive Open Distance eLearning Platform Amidst AI-Driven Advancements

        The University of the Philippines - Open University (UPOU) has been a pioneer in distance education since the mid-2000s, offering classes exclusively in a fully online format. In 2013, UPOU took a significant step forward by introducing Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs). These MOOCs are hosted in our Massive Open Distance eLearning (MODeL) platform, which is currently based in Moodle 4.0 using a customized version of the Almondb theme.

        Given the rapidly evolving academic landscape, evaluating MODeL from end-users' perspectives is imperative to ensure an optimal and inclusive learning experience. Hence, this study embarks on meticulously exploring two pivotal aspects of the MODeL platform: usability and innovation.

        First, the study assesses MODeL' usability and perceived acceptance among end-users. This also aims to identify potential areas for improvement. We employ two essential tools: the System Usability Survey (SUS) and a feedback mechanism that captures users' firsthand experiences with the platform.

        Next, this research probes into end-users' expectations for innovation as far as AI is concerned. As AI continues to gain traction and widespread acceptance, there is a growing interest in its application within the educational sphere. To gauge stakeholders' attitudes toward AI-based innovation, the study utilizes two additional instruments: the General Attitude Toward AI (GATA) and an AI in Education questionnaires.

        The data collected undergoes rigorous analysis to gain valuable insights illuminating various stakeholders' nuanced needs. Ultimately, this study delves into the implications of its findings for UPOU and offers pragmatic recommendations, empowering them to enhance the MODeL platform further.

        When a quiz is not a quiz - using the quiz module for other purposes

        The quiz module is excellent for creating and administering quizzes in classes. However, the quiz module can easily be used for many other purposes. This lightning talk will explain how to use the different functions in the quiz module to set up other assignments that require assessment such as assignments, reflection papers and feedback sheets. The author will also discuss the advantages of using the quiz module instead of the assignment module.

        Moodle course design for textbook and non-textbook-based classes

        Whether they are new or experienced users of Moodle, teachers are often faced with the same decisions when creating a new course for a language class. If setting up a course to supplement a commercial textbook that already offers its own online materials, we need to ensure that any additional online resource (i.e. a class Moodle course) doesn’t serve to overwhelm, or even confuse learners. If taking the non-textbook route, how do we start filling those blank sections on our Moodle page with exciting activities and resources that match our lesson and syllabus learning objectives?
        In this showcase I will share my own experience in Moodle course design for both remote and blended learning environments, looking at how relevant content, attractive layout, integration with other online applications, and gamification using the Stash plug-in can all serve to enhance learner engagement and motivation. Working examples of the two types of course will be shown – two that have supplemented commercial textbooks and one that has been custom-made by the teacher to suit specific class needs.

        Perceptions of New Master of Information Systems (MIS) Students on UPOU MyPortal's Web Accessibility

        This study explores the perceptions of newly enrolled Master of Information Systems (MIS) students at the University of the Philippines Open University (UPOU) regarding the web accessibility of the UPOU MyPortal, the university's Moodle-based learning platform. Using a mixed-methods approach, the study integrates quantitative surveys and qualitative open-ended questions to gather insights into students' experiences and challenges.

        Preliminary findings from the research indicate that, overall, the UPOU MyPortal is generally perceived as a user-friendly platform. However, these positive sentiments coexist with identified areas that merit improvement, especially concerning the accessibility features catering to students with specific needs.. The study highlights the importance of ongoing evaluation and enhancement of digital platforms, such as Moodle, to ensure inclusivity and equal learning opportunities for all students.

        The study's findings have implications for the design and optimization of digital platforms to meet the needs of a diverse student population. It also underscores the importance of proactive measures to ensure that the UPOU MyPortal is accessible to every student, irrespective of their unique requirements.

        Teaching Practices in Developing Research Capability of Graduate Students Using Moodle

        As observed in a recent systematic review on trends in using Moodle for teaching and learning by Gamage et al., 2022, the majority of studies on Moodle focused on how using Moodle effectively improves student performance, satisfaction, and engagement by undergraduate students. This paper will share teaching practices in developing the research capability of graduate students using Moodle.

        The mentorship needed to acquire research knowledge and skills requires one-on-one interaction that puts the digital form of learning in question. Can teaching research on Moodle build research capability? Smith (2001) as cited by Winston and Fields (2003) said that the immediacy that is inherent with informal face-to-face interactions commonplace in a residential program must be replaced with scheduled interaction around progress in specific projects in an online environment.

        By examining the teacher’s interaction with the students, individually and/or collectively, in five graduate research courses at the University of the Philippines Open University, this paper shall illustrate in what way it is possible to build research capability through Moodle. In particular, it will demonstrate the teaching practices employed in the conduct and implementation of each of the three units of these courses:: the first unit for understanding the research concepts, the second unit for developing proficiency in reading research papers, and the third unit for practical understanding of the research process by conducting a mini-study.

        Gamification in ODeL

        Gamification in ODeL

        As a pioneer in Open and Distance e-Learning (ODeL) within the country, the University of the Philippines Open University remains committed to spearheading advancements in research and application throughout the Philippines. This commitment extends to delivering high-quality education through the utilization of Moodle as the Learning Management System (LMS).

        Gamification involves integrating game mechanisms or elements to drive motivation and engagement among users. It serves as a vital tool in learning platforms to enhance student participation and reduce dropout rates. The incorporation of gamification in the learning design of UPOU classes has been identified as a contributing factor to increased completion rates and heightened student participation.
        This study aims to explore various gamification strategies implemented in UPOU courses, spanning bachelor’s degree programs, graduate courses, and Massive Online Open Courses (MOOCs). Specifically, the courses under review include MMS140: Mathematics in Multimedia, CMSC201: Discrete Structures in Computer Science, and an AI for Education MOOC. The evaluation will compare gamification elements such as Experience Points (XP), Activity Completion, Levels Badges, and Leaderboards across these categories.
        Furthermore, the author will focus on evaluating engagements and completion rates, crucial metrics that characterize the success of gamification in Open and Distance e-Learning (ODeL) at UPOU.

        The Video Assessment Module: Self, peer, teacher assessment and feedback--all in one tool.

        Students often fear having to perform oral presentations. For a multitude of reasons, it is also difficult for teachers to assess and to give quick and effective feedback that fosters learning, confidence and motivation for those students doing performances. During a 12-year action research project trialling various methods, a team of teachers created an online video post-assessment tool, called the Video Assessment Module (VAM), where assessment and feedback could take place asynchronously and self-feedback, peer-feedback and teacher-feedback were easily combined. With three kinds of feedback, students showed greater understanding of how to improve their performances. This short presentation highlights the history and reasons for VAM’s creation, how it is set up to be used by teachers and students, results of its use in the classroom context and features for adapting VAM for their various classes.

        Enhancing Online Learning: The Online Students’ Perspectives on the Engaging Features of a Learning Management System

        This research explores the insights and suggestions of undergraduate online students in a digital literacy course regarding the features they believe are essential for an effective and engaging Learning Management System (LMS), specifically MOODLE. The study aims to address three key objectives: 1) to get the students' suggestions for additional LMS features to enhance online learning experiences; 2) to identify and categorize the characteristics and uses of these suggested features as articulated by the students; and 3) classify the diverse features proposed by students. The data for this investigation were derived from the assignments of 223 undergraduate students, an essay on MOODLE, specifically the features of other applications that they have using and that they want to incorporate in MOODLE. The study employ a quantitative approach, specifically frequency counts. Predominantly, students emphasized features within the communication category as crucial for an enriched online learning environment. These included automatic reminders for class activities; notifications about the date and time of incoming activities such as exams, quizzes, and assignments; incorporating a chat management system where they can send and receive chat messages instantly to and from their classmates and teacher; and as well as guidance on where to resume studying within learning materials. The significance of these findings extends to guiding educational institutions in enhancing and refining their platforms. As the educational landscape increasingly shifts towards online modalities, understanding and incorporating student preferences and needs becomes paramount for fostering a more effective and engaging learning experience.

        Using GitHub to manage Moodle plugin development.

        Developing a Moodle plugin as a one-time project one-on-one with a software engineer is often best managed through email or familiar communication apps. However, a reliable project management system like GitHub is required when developing a Moodle plugin involving continuous bug fixing and iterative improvement, a team of contributing developers, software developers and Moodle administration staff, and rolling version upgrades over many years. This talk examines the choice of GitHub for managing a plugin development project and the benefits and challenges experienced.

        Improving Vocabulary with Moodle

        This presentation will introduce the "Vocabulary activity" module for Moodle which has been developed to help Japanese university students study English vocabulary. The module accepts a wordlist from the teacher and then presents the words individually to the students in a series of interactive games. Every time a student interacts successfully with a word, their count for that word is incremented. When their count reaches the target specified by the teacher, they are considered to have mastered that word. After a student has mastered all the words in the wordlist, they have completed the activity.

        The module comprises a dictionary which contains not only definitions, but also synonyms, antonyms and example sentences. All of this information is available at different CEFR levels, so that students receive input that matches their current level. Furthermore, translations of all the information is available and can be shown to the students if they request it.

        After describing the motivation for this module and explaining its design and implementation, the presenter will show the current state of the module, including the viewing pages and input screens. Examples of the games will be shown, and participants will be invited to share comments and ask questions.

        Assessing Students’ Knowledge Construction Level in a Digital Learning Platform

        The advent of digital learning platforms introduces new perspectives on how social interaction and learning take place in an online learning environment as it supports a space that opens opportunities for online learners to collaborate and construct knowledge. The growth of online Learning Management System (LMS) entails understanding how to promote collaborative knowledge construction processes and create learning environments that support meaningful student engagement and interactions (Galikyan & Admiraal, 2019).
        For the past decades, interest in research studies focusing on how interaction and learning take place, and how digital learning platforms open opportunities for online learners to collaborate and construct knowledge has elevated among online learning advocates and practitioners. By employing a content analysis using the Interaction Analysis Model (IAM), this study hopes to uncover the level of the social construction of knowledge that the students reached in the discussions forums of an online graduate colloquium.
        This study applied the data mining process to analyze the transcripts of communication exchanges of online students in an Open University in the Philippines. The data used in this study was generated from an open-source LMS called Moodle, using selected standard report plugins.
        The research explored the potential of providing more opportunities for online learners to create knowledge and empowering students by providing a digital learning environment that encourages interactions and collaborations among themselves. As we move from traditional classrooms to digital learning platforms, the need to look into models and approaches to analyze how knowledge construction takes place in a digital learning setting takes place, especially in a developing country like the Philippines where this practice is relatively very scarce or not investigated at all, is inevitable to have a deeper understanding of student participation in an online learning setting. The results of this study hope to contribute to the studies on methodologies and approaches to explore online interactions focusing on knowledge construction in discussion forums in an online learning environment.

        xAPI規格に準拠した学習履歴の長期保存及び活用のための基礎的検討

        MoodleではxAPIログストア・プラグインを活用することにより、学習レコードストアの一種であるLearning Lockerに学習履歴を記録することが可能である。このプラグインは、Moodleで生成される学習履歴を、学習履歴に関する標準規格であるxAPI形式に変換し、学習レコードストアに送信する。従来のプラグインでは記録対象となる活動及び設問・問題タイプが少ないため、我々はプラグインを独自に改修し、より多様な学習履歴を記録している。しかし、蓄積されるレコード数の増加に伴い、Learning Lockerのデータベース・サーバの負荷が増大する。これにより、学習履歴の記録に要する時間が増大するほか、学習履歴の読み出し及び活用が困難になる。複数年度にまたがる学習履歴を蓄積し、学習分析に活用するためには、学習履歴を長期に保管するデータベース・サーバを新たに構築し、Learning Lockerのデータベース・サーバと分離する必要がある。本発表では、xAPIログストア・プラグインの改善状況、データベース・サーバの負荷状況の計測結果、及びデータベース・サーバの分離の試みについて報告する。

        A Reflection on the Learner’s Moodle Experience from the Perspective of a New vis-à-vis Long-Time Moodle User

        When it comes to user experience, determining what counts as “improvement” is not easy nor straightforward. Convenience for some may easily be an inconvenience for others. With the difficulty that comes with providing a catch-all recommendation towards Moodle improvement as a learner’s tool, this paper instead attempts to provide an assessment of Moodle by reflecting on the learner’s experience from the perspective of a new vis-à-vis long-time Moodle user. By reflecting on the experience of two users with varying familiarity with the Moodle platform, this paper aims to strike a balance by forwarding an assessment that is: (1) not too attached, preventing the familiarity to the platform from creating a framing wherein it becomes easy to overlook fundamental issues due to these issues being normalized, and (2) not too detached, preventing the unfamiliarity with the platform from creating recommendations brought about by ignorance of Moodle’s potential as a learning management system. Through the reflections provided, this paper hopes that the increased awareness of learner experience will create a different outlook that can assist in the development of Moodle towards becoming a more effective and learner-friendly platform in the facilitation of distance education.

        Community-driven Moodle LMS Development: The Role and Operation of an R&D Committee

        Groups, consortia, and association around the world have been invited to self-organize and join a global Product Advisory Group and contribute to a community funding system. Marie Achour will summarize Moodle.org plans for this community replacement of the Moodle Users Association. In addition, Don Hinkelman will report on how a German-speaking PAG in Austria has been operating for over five years. This has inspired a Francophone PAG, a Spanish PAG, an Asian open university PAG, and a Moodle Association of Japan PAG. This MAJ Product Advisory Group will engage university institutions using Moodle through a Japanese language environment--especially universities who use Moodle and want to make a better LMS or build Japan-specific plugins for Moodle. Right now, over one hundred universities in Japan are using Moodle LMS and each is adapting Moodle independently on its own. By combining efforts with a community funding system & global PAG, we can prioritize our R&D money to make improvements that users in Japan need, want, and . Recently, Hiroyuki Harada and Don Hinkelman proposed the revival of a Japanese-language Moodle Association of Japan R&D Committee so that greater pariticipation institutional members is possible. The nickname of this R&D under the R&D Director could be called a "Japan PAG" with the following functions:
        - That the institutional members of the Moodle Association of Japan
        form a Product Advisory Group to list priorities for plugin
        development and core changes that universities in Japan hold in
        common.
        - That the Moodle Association of Japan officers explore
        granting the decisions of domestic and global R&D funding to this
        group.
        - That this group be comprised of one or more members from each
        institution.
        - That this Japanese PAG be listed as a benefit of
        institutional membership That this group operate in Japanese language
        in order to engage a wider range of university educators and
        administrators.
        - That this group elect an international liaison-global
        member for the Community LMS PAG organized by Moodle.org

        Following the presentation in English and Japanese, Hiroyuki Harada will lead a discussion and answer questions about the operation of a new Japan PAG.

        Online Proctored Examinations Setup Using Moodle

        We present a system to administer proctored examinations, using a dedicated Moodle instance exclusively for exam-taking purposes, also known as the Exam Portal. In contrast to the university’s primary Moodle instance that is intended for course-level activities, the Exam Portal also accommodates exams not explicitly linked to courses such as admission tests and program-specific comprehensive exams. To enable proctoring, we employ both live and recorded proctoring methods. Live proctoring is facilitated by proctors through video conferencing software or a third-party proctoring system, adding an extra layer of security and authenticity to the examination process. For recorded proctoring, the Moodle proctoring plugin is integrated to enhance and accommodate various examination scenarios. This setup has been in practice since 2020 and has proved effective in administering proctored examinations. We further discuss in the paper the benefits, challenges, and outcomes of implementing this system, and present insights for educational institutions seeking reliable solutions for secure and efficient exam administration.

        Eduversity

        Amidst extraordinary uncertainty, Eduversity is helping higher education leaders build resilience, seize opportunities for growth, and discover new ways to differentiate their institutions. Colleges and universities are facing declining enrollment, financial instability, and prolonged
        educational disruptions.
        The changing nature of the higher education industry demands a strategy that is inclusive, collaborative, and resilient.
        Eduversity helps today’s leaders stay competitive by navigating key
        trends in higher education, such as:
        ● A growing need for higher ed-employer collaboration. An estimated 1.3 billion people have competencies misaligned with the work they perform, fueling a rapidly growing skills mismatch across the globe.
        ● A shift in student expectations. Gen Z students are demanding to be treated as customers and to realize value commensurate with the investment they’ remaking.
        ● New business and delivery models. Competency-based models, massive open

        Updates and upgrades: What are the differences and when to do both

        How frequently should Moodle code be updated? Updates to the Moodle code in the GIT repositories is updated weekly; Moodle has point releases monthly; and then there are major releases twice a year. Is it essential to update the Moodle code every time updated software is available, and if not, which versions can be skipped? What is the difference between a “point release update” and a “major version upgrade?” In this presentation, I will endeavour to answer these questions and more. We will look at updates and upgrades: how to do updates for point releases frequently and efficiently, as well as making major upgrades into regularly scheduled events. The options available for upgrading schedules LTS to LTS (Long-Term Service) will be considered and compared with upgrading for every major version with respect to both security and the impact of each on the users of the Moodle. Finally, the impact of the release schedules of other software such as PHP on Moodle updates and upgrades will be considered.

        Designing an Interactive Reading Course

        This presentation will show how Moodle is used to host content for a reading course at the University of Nagasaki. The syllabus for this reading course includes extensive reading and reading of more advanced articles. While other applications are used, Moodle acts as the central portal to keep students on track in a course which does not use a textbook. Many of the articles used in this course are self-authored and the interactive H5P activity type is used for creating not only comprehension exercises, but also for introducing a communicative element in the classroom. Another core Moodle activity type used is the Workshop. Although the Workshop activity can be more complicated to set up than the other core Moodle activities, it does enable students to assess their peers. In this activity, students are asked to summarize a news article and assess the efforts of their peers. Other activity types used in this course include the forum for exchanging written opinions and the Poodll plugin for vocabulary review.

        Interactive TBL Assessment with Moodle's Quiz

        Team-Based Learning (TBL) is a prominent educational strategy, particularly in medical universities, designed to assess individual and collaborative student performance. This method is strategically embedded into courses, occurring at specific intervals, such as Week 4 and Week 8. Two key concepts within TBL, Individual Rate (IR) and Group Rate (GR), form the basis for evaluating individual contributions and collaborative efforts. This presentation focuses on the practical implementation of these concepts using Moodle, a versatile e-learning platform, and specifically employing the Quiz activity.
        The aim is to demonstrate how Moodle can effectively facilitate the assessment of students' individual and group performances within the TBL framework. By utilizing the Quiz activity, this presentation seeks to showcase how Moodle's features enhance the evaluation process, providing insights into students' collaborative skills and individual achievements. The discussion will highlight the seamless integration of TBL principles into the digital landscape, emphasizing the role of Moodle in supporting and optimizing the assessment of students' performance in both individual and team contexts.

        Generative Artificial Intelligence and Performance Assessment

        The video assessment module (funded and built in Japan) manages large numbers of student video performance recordings and assesses them using Moodle’s advanced grading rubric designer. This custom plugin can give detailed formative guidance to learners on how to immediately improve their performance. However, the errors, weaknesses and omissions by students are often similar at beginning levels and would benefit from quicker feedback than teachers are able to give due to long video-watching/assessing sessions. With generative artificial intelligence built into a Moodle module, it may be possible to replace teacher feedback with automatic feedback for basic skills in presentation performances, based on the rubric designed by the teacher. In other words, students must still self-assess, but then through AI, their rubric scores are compared with the AI tutor. This presentation will outline a scenario for the video assessment module in Moodle 5.0 (possibly available 2026-28) that will provide AI benefits to students and teachers for quicker, more specific feedback in skill training.

        MoodleBox and MoodleNet for Sustainable Development in Asia

        MoodleBox is a palm-sized, self-contained Moodle server based on Raspberry Pi hardware, costing under ten thousand yen. It is ideal for an intranet application in small remote schools in developing nations across Asia. Marcus Green has collaborated with the developer, Nicola in Zurich, and will update the Moodle community on the latest Pi 5 edition of MoodleBox. Discussion is continuing here: https://discuss.moodlebox.net/. Designed for solar powered operation, issues with the Pi5 is that it may draw more power, so running a large school may be problematic. Another potential stumbling block is robustness, which may require "tropicalisation" to limit the effect of dust and moisture. This project is called Sabier which involves a network of MoodleBox advocates with a global view, (https://moodle.sabier.org/) Finally, MoodleBox depends on open content (OER) materials for distribution in local languages. Don Hinkelman will outline plans and welcome volunteers for organic agriculture training with rural Bangladesh farmers using Moodlebox technology.

        Bridging the Digital Divide: Bringing Moodle to Warzone, Refugees and the Unconnected.

        The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) reported in 2022 that 66% of the world is online, leaving 2.7 billion people offline. Moodle offers simple and often innovative ways to bridge the digital gap.
        The pandemic forced NGOs to go online, and Moodle turned out to be an essential tool for training people worldwide, often in adverse conditions where online access is less than ideal.
        This presentation will present three cases.
        1- Implementation of Moodle in Myanmar during a military coup.
        2- Moodle to help Afghan war refugees.
        3- Offering Moodle as an offline platform to farmers in remote unconnected areas.

        Bridging the Digital Divide: Bringing Moodle to Conflict-Affected Populations, Refugees, and the Unconnected
        Despite significant advancements in digital connectivity, the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) estimates that 2.6 billion people will remain offline as of 2023. This digital divide has far-reaching consequences, limiting access to education, information, and social and economic development opportunities. Moodle offers innovative solutions to bridge this digital gap.
        The COVID-19 pandemic forced non-governmental organizations (NGOs) to transition their programs and training initiatives online. Moodle emerged as a critical tool for NGOs to train vulnerable populations worldwide, often under challenging conditions with limited internet access.
        This presentation will explore three cases where Moodle has played a pivotal role :
        Moodle in Myanmar during a military coup: Amidst a political crisis and widespread internet disruptions, Moodle provided a lifeline for educational continuity.
        Moodle for Afghan war refugees: In the face of displacement, Moodle offered Afghan refugees a platform for accessing training that would allow them to accelerate access to travel visas.
        Moodle as an offline platform for remote, unconnected farmers: Moodle's offline capabilities will be discussed to reach people with limited access to electricity or the internet.
        These cases highlight Moodle's versatility and adaptability in addressing the unique challenges of bridging the digital divide for conflict-affected populations, refugees, and unconnected communities. Moodle's open-source nature, flexibility, and offline

        Integrating Vocabulary Learning Principles in Moodle

        This presentation delineates the strategic integration of vocabulary learning principles within a Moodle-based course for Japanese university EFL learners, leveraging Moodle's distinctive features to enhance educational outcomes. Vocabulary frequency analysis serves as the cornerstone, guiding the selection of essential words to maximize relevance and utility. The course is structured around Nation's Four Strands framework (2007), ensuring a balanced blend of meaning-focused input and output, language-focused learning, and fluency development. This equilibrium is not merely theoretical; it is operationalized through Moodle's GIFT code to efficiently create content comprehension quizzes, which reinforce retrieval and contextual vocabulary learning. Nation and Webb's cognitive features of vocabulary learning (2015) are embedded within the course's fabric, with Moodle's affordances utilized fully; forums enable data-driven learning, offering personalized feedback that encourages noticing and creative language use. The Tiles course format is used to craft an aesthetically pleasing learning environment where photo-labeled sections resonate with thematic class content, enhancing motivation. These Moodle-specific functionalities are integral to the instructional design, ensuring that active engagement and long-term vocabulary retention. The course promises a profoundly engaging and cognitively rich learning experience for Japanese university students.

        データベースモジュールを利用した電子シラバスの設計検討

        今回、Moodle LMS 4.2上で、データベースモジュールを利用し、追加プラグインなしで利用可能な電子シラバスの設計を検討した。筆者の所属大学において、電子シラバスの要件は以下の3点である。

        1)学修目標や科目概要、事前学習(予習復習内容)などを自由記述で記載する。
        2)各回のスケジュールとして、授業実施日・担当教員・授業タイトルを記載する。
        3)一部の情報は学外からもゲスト権限での閲覧を可能とし、すべての情報が閲覧可能となるのは学内者(ログインしたユーザ)に限定するものとする。

        特に時間割は授業によっては100を超える数となる。そこで、学修目標とはデータベースを分け、1エントリが1授業となるようにした。また、入力の手間を減らすため、前年度のシラバス情報から新年度の日時情報を作成し、差し込んだ状態で渡せるようにした。科目コード番号など編集を制限したい項目については、JavaScriptで修正を禁止する設定とした。

        このほか、今回は入力の負担を考えて実装は見送ったが、コンピテンシー機能やカレンダー機能を利用することで、評価との連動や動的な教材提示も可能になると考えられる。

        授業実施後に振り返りを学生に提出させ、理解度の確認やフィードバックを行う手法としてはミニッツペーパーや大福帳などの方法がある。Moodle上でこれらの手法を実現するにあたり、どの活動モジュールを利用するのが妥当であるか、比較検討を行った。標準モジュールであるフォーラム・データベース・小テスト・課題・フィードバック、追加プラグインのアンケート、をそれぞれ利用し、比較した。

        例としてフォーラムでは、コメントの複数回のやり取りが可能だが、分離グループ等の設定を誤ると他の学習者からも記載内容が閲覧可能となるなどの欠点がある。フィードバックやアンケートでは、回答の自動集計や図式化が便利である一方、細かな評価を行うためには、他の評価可能なモジュールと併用する必要があるという欠点がある。課題では、ルーブリックの活用も含め、画面上での評価・コメントができるという利点があるが、テキストデータをCSVでダウンロードできないという欠点がある。それぞれの機能の特徴を理解し、場面に応じた使い分けが必要であるといえる。また、教育者側からの観点のみならず、学習者からの意見を募るなど、さらなる分析も必要である。

        Improving Accessibility: Building a better plugin

        Since the pandemic began, the use of educational technology has increased dramatically, bringing with it potential boons for accessibility. Accessibility tools such as zoom-in functions, colour switchers, and screen readers enhance the accessibility of the content by allowing users to choose how they engage with the content. The ability to choose the background colour, font, text size and colour can be the deciding factor regarding whether a user can engage with the content or not. Moodle has several accessibility tools available via the accessibility block, however this requires the block to be added to every page and so it is unavailable on the login page. Furthermore, the options for accessibility are limited and non-customisable. For example, in the block the user’s colour options are limited to three possible combinations that are set by the administrator. This presentation will showcase a new accessibility plugin (local_accessibility) that is designed to maximise user choice over accessibility options with a modular approach that also allows for the independent development of additional accessibility tools (widgets). This new accessibility plugin is also designed to be available on every page in an unobtrusive but convenient manner with an icon in the bottom right corner.

        学習活動データを学習者に提供するプラグインの提案

        Moodleやビデオ会議サービスなど、様々な教育ツールを用いた教育や学習が行われるようになってきた。そのため、学習活動データは、Moodle上や個人の情報デバイス、インターネットサービス上に蓄積されることになる。我々は、学生自身による学習活動の管理を支援し、学習活動の振り返りが可能な、学習活動データの収集システムの構築を目指している。本発表では、Moodle上に蓄積される学習活動データを、収集システムに集めるための計画、Moodle上に実装する機能について報告する。最終的には、WebAPIに対応した、プラグインまたは機能の開発を進める予定である。

        Implementation of JavaScript-Based Learning Analytics for Dynamic Geometry Contents Embedded in Moodle

        Moodleに埋め込まれた動的幾何ソフトウェアのコンテンツに対し,JavaScriptにより学習者の学習状況ログを取得する手法について報告する。動的幾何ソフトとしては,GeoGebraとCinderellaを例として使用した。学習状況ログとしては,マウス(タッチ)によるコンテンツ操作の時刻や座標,変数値等を取得した。取得したデータはコンテンツ操作の終了時に,Moodleコース内にあらかじめ用意したデータベース・モジュール内へと自動的に保存される実装とした。本実装には斉藤 (2023) を援用した。結果として,本研究の手法を用いることで,管理者権限やプラグイン等を要することなく,動的幾何コンテンツに対するラーニングアナリティクスが可能であることが明らかとなった。これによりコンテンツ改善のための情報が得られるだけでなく,成績等の他の学習データからは得られない学習評価への活用が期待される。
