Let鈥檚 Bring this to the Sandbox! Learning Pros Playing Together with Moodle

Presenter: Alexandre Enkerli, Technopedagogical Advisor, Eductive

(27 min)

Sometimes, the best way to make Moodle work for more people is to experiment with it. From teachers and pedagogical counsellors to librarians and technopedagogues, learning professionals can achieve a lot through online collaboration. Using recent examples from projects supported by the Eductive team, this discussion will focus on how we might leverage a Moodle instance to bring learning pros to collaborate thoughtfully on the platform.

Integrating Video in Moodle with Panopto

Presenter: Marc Couture, Universit茅 de Sherbrooke

(31 min)

As a result of the Covid-19 pandemic, many in-person activities were rapidly transposed to an online format. Teachers needed to adapt quickly and used Microsoft Teams or Adobe Connect to communicate with students, while continuing to rely on Moodle to manage asynchronous communications (using forums) and activities such as online assignments and quizzes. The use of video as a course content delivery medium as well as source material for assessments exploded during this period. This presentation will focus on how our team successfully integrated Panopto鈥檚 cloud-based video recording and hosting services into Moodle, developed a new assignment plugin to help students submit their work and steps that will soon be taken to limit direct uploading of video to a course site to encourage teachers to use Panopto.

Moodle has a new personality, with an improved new version. Moodle 4.0 introduces a new design language, a better user experience, visual styling and is responsive and consistent between devices. The new navigation hierarchy is simplified and shows what is contextually relevant. Access to the most used items is delivered through tabbed navigation, which is consistent sitewide. These improvements reduce cognitive load and allow educators and learners to easily find what they want, when they need it. Come and see all the new features of your new and improved Moodle!
