Overview
At the 2019 MoodleMoot UK & Ireland, Doug Belshaw gave a presentation and ran a workshop for attendees on MoodleNet's past, present and future. Participants had an opportunity to discuss what they like about the MoodleNet vision, and what they'd like to see included in the future roadmap.
Slides
- Presentation: bit.ly/mn-mootieuk19
- Workshop: bit.ly/MN-workshop-mootieuk19
Workshop
The 1.5 hour session on Day 3 of the Moot was structured in the following way:
- Welcome, intro and overview
- Affinity grouping
- Hands-on testing of MoodleNet
- Discussion around key questions
- Feedback and next steps
- CLOSE
During the Affinity grouping activity, and before participants had a chance to register for MoodleNet, they were asked what problems they envisaged MoodleNet solving for them. During testing, they were asked to do the following:
- Go to https://app.moodle.net
- Complete basic profile
- Join a community
- Add a comment in a community
- Add a resource to a collection
- Create a new collection
- Optional: create a new community
After testing, participants discussed the following questions:
- What do you like about MoodleNet?
- What questions do you have?
- What concerns do you have?
- How would you like the integration with Moodle Core to work?
- What's the next thing we should add to MoodleNet? (think big!)
Course design group
Pre-testing discussion
- Sharing good examples of course design
- Central repository of key resources
- Examples of good/diverse practice
- Also sharing experiences of things that went well/didn't go well, pitfalls to avoid
- Tagging/context aware
- Ratings/reviews
- Comments/running dialog beneath each resource
Post-test discussion
- Likes:
- Idea of communities
- Quite visual presentation
- Accidental discover of resources: "didn't know I wanted that"
- Easy to see who is community
- Questions:
- How communities ordered/can be ordered?
- How can you connect with other users?
- Concerns:
- Risk of duplicating communities accidentally
- User impact if plugin UI in Moodle Core is bad
Institutional MoodleNet group
Pre-test discussion
- Re-use content
- Colleagues (in dept)
- Students
- External partners
- Fellow professionals (e.g. 'physics teachers')
- QA
- Monitor quality
- Improve quality
- Change mindsets
- Create sharing ethos (i.e. 'community')
Post-test discussion
- Likes:
- Easy interface with Moodle (we hope!)
- Simple design/UX
- Questions:
- Could there be another level above community? (dept/institution)
- Is there going to be (hierarchical) tagging?
- Will communities be able to be closed/private?
- Concern:
- That will become an 'unstructured morass of stuff'
Learning and Teaching group
Pre-test discussion
- Sharing good practice
- Sharing good content (images/texts)
- Incentivise sharing
- Reward and recognition
- Trust, evaluation, quality review
- 'Paradata'. Review cycle - 'merlot'
- 'Pedr'. Pedagogic research.
- Community - not anonymised
- Feedback; experience
- Mixed media
- Notification
- Multi-lingual
Post-test discussion
- Ownership of communities - not secure
- Communities not moderated - duplication risk, security risk
Technology group
Pre-test discussion
- Sharing resources
- Bridging the gap between technology and pedagogy
- 24/7/365 MoodleNet online :)
- Instructors more informed about student interests
- Connecting local groups internationally
Post-test discussion
- Requests:
- Export/import directly to Moodle (courses)
- Request/invite people
- Pinterest pinning
- Questions:
- Would you have a community available across MoodleNet instances (e.g. collaboration between universities)
- Could we 'pin' a Moodle 'thing' and the source server and then post an MBZ of the thing to MoodleNet? 'Out of brand' / asynchronously?
- Discussion threads or channels?
- Concerns:
- Bug: all bold text should be linked (resource isn't). Could the link go to the collection, to see the context, with the resource should be focused on. (MDLNET-278)
- Bug: in dark mode community user list presents with half shaded text which highlights at full black colour
