Dialogue module

2010-06-17T14:03:04Z

Iusher: Added use case of contacting counsellors.

'''Dialogues''' allow students or teachers to start two-way dialogues with another person. They are course activities that can be useful when the teacher wants a place to give private feedback to a student on their online activity. For example, if a student is participating in a language forum and made a grammatical error that the teacher wants to point out without embarassing the student, a dialogue is the perfect place. A dialogue activity would also be an excellent way for counsellors within an institution to interact with students - all activities are logged and email is not necessarily required.

Dialogue is a contributed activity module originally released for Moodle 1.6.x. and subsequently updated for Moodle 1.8.x to support roles and capabilities and most recently updated to support Moodle 1.9.x and Groupings (groups of groups)

==Features==
* Teachers can initiate private Dialogues between themselves and individual students
* Teachers can initiate individual Dialogues with all members of a group at one time
* Users can attach documents to their dialogue posts
* Students can view a time-stamped history of interaction between themselves and their teachers / tutors within the context of papers.
* Teachers and Students can view time-stamped histories of the interaction between them. Teachers can additionally view interaction histories with all students within a particular paper.
* Users can receive notification of new Dialogue posts via e-mail subscription
* Students can edit Dialogue posts within a specified period of time (30min default).

==Settings==
[[Image:DialogueSettings.gif|thumb|Dialogue Settings]]
* Type of dialogue can be set to Teacher-Student, Student-Student, Anyone-Anyone
* Ability for Students (or any role) to initiate a Dialogue can be managed in the activity role overrides
* Can configure whether a Dialogue activity should allow more than one Dialogue between any two participants
* Can enable/disable email notification
* Can set the number of days after which a closed Dialogue will be removed
* Admin setting at site-level to control display of unread dialog count on course pages

==Roles/Capabilities==
The following capabilities are able to be assigned/set against site wide roles and overridden in your local Dialogue instances:
* mod/dialogue:open
* mod/dialogue:close
* mod/dialogue:manage
* mod/dialogue:viewall - allow users to have read access to dialogues which they are not a participant
* mod/dialogue:participate
* mod/dialogue:participateany - allows users to participate in dialogues that are not initiated with themselves

==Tips and tricks==
*When students initially enroll on a site, it might be a good idea to send them a welcome dialogue to let them know the teacher is there. This way if the student has something to say to the teacher, they will feel more comfortable responding, since the teacher made the first step.

==Module History==
* 2003/Oct - Ray Kingdon released the original module
* 2004/Jun - Dialogues with groups of students were supported
* 2006/Apr - Howard Miller (aka thepurpleblob) University of Glasgow, contributed fixes to bring Dialogue in line w v1.6
* 2006/Aug - Howard Miller volunteered to maintain the module. At the time he mentioned Messaging was the mechanism MartinD saw as the tool the core project would be supporting for this sort of activity, and that Dialogue was never actually intended to be anything other than an optional module.
* 2007/May - Clinton Graham provided a diff to get Dialogue running with roles in v1.8
* 2007 - Catalyst integrated group support allowing allocation of groups (or groupings) to specific activities.
* 2007/Aug - University of Waikato contract Catalyst to update Dialogue module to support v1.9 and make a number of feature changes
* 2008/Aug - Reinstated dialogue type selector, various bug fixes (Enrique,Clinton,Lorenzo & Dean)
* 2009/Feb - Improvements to student-to-student mode and all-participants selection for teachers (Dean)
* 2009/Mar - Reintroduced unread entries tracking, and validation fix on edittime field (Dean)
* 2009/Aug - Multiple fixes and improvements (Dean. With lots of contributed code/inspiration here from Enrique Castro)
** fixed bug re lost HTML formatting (see: CONTRIB-1448)
** sorting columns by name, date, post count etc (see: CONTRIB-1449)
** improved group-mode support (see: CONTRIB-1490)
** added participation report support (see: CONTRIB-1454)
** change to view current conversation after update rather than go back to list (see: CONTRIB-1455)
** lots of codeing/style improvments, thanx Petr :) (see: CONTRIB-1216)

== Possible Future Developments ==
Following is a list of future developments (in priority order). Please feel free to [http://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=126340 discuss these developments] and vote for these if you feel the priority order is not quite right. We also ask that you add to this list:

CONTRIB-1450 Email Notifications includes:
* Option to send immediately (rather than wait 30 mins)
* Option to include the dialogue message content in the email notification

CONTRIB-1451 Change to entry header to include user's name & increase font
* Instead of "On Friday, 1 June 2009, 05:43 pm you wrote: ", would it be better that the name is displayed instead, if the dialogue was exported and archived and the people who are reading it would not know the "you" is referring to who.

CONTRIB-1452 Close conversations for unenrolled students & display date
* Close Dialogue conversations when students are unenrolled
* Display the date that the individual dialogue was closed. the last entry date is good, but sometimes the close date is not always the last entry date.
* Display the date that the closed dialogue would be removed.

CONTRIB-1453 Provide edit & delete for Manage capability (similar to forums)<br />

'''Other requests with no tracker items created''' - see page Page Comments for more details
* Let the user specified the end date for the closed dialogue to be removed. Which I think it would be more flexible rather than the 7, 30,...,365 days options.
* Export entries (what format - Text, Html, xml??)
* Display the date that the dialogue was added
* Don't display the "You have 30 mins to edit..." after submit, instead the user should be bought to the current dialogue and allowed to edit it even if it has passed 30mins limit.

Tools for creating SCORM content

2008-11-04T15:34:39Z

Iusher: Added info that this isn't a completely free tool, just a trial version.

{{Scorm}}
===Camtasia===
This is a commercial screen-recording product for producing demonstrations and tutorials. It has SCORM compliant output as an option, and permits quizzing and branching. The SCORM output option creates a single .zip file that is appropriate for uploading into a SCORM activity for Moodle. Retail price for Camtasia is US$299, but non-profit educational discounts of about 50% are offered. 30 day trials are also available.

More information can be found at http://www.techsmith.com/products.asp

=== Captivate ===
Add here: options to use, types of content to avoid, tricks to take advantage of, bugs, gotchas...

=== ContentGenerator.net SCORM functionality ===
Software was successfully used at the CambsMoodle.org conference on July 10th 2008 - every teacher at the workshop was able to get their SCORM game uploaded and working. The software doesn't create extensive courses, but instead trackable interactive Flash games such as Fling the Teacher and Teacher Invaders.

* Free software (+ some pay for) at http://www.contentgenerator.net/ - need to register on forum, but downloads free from there.
* Select SCORM option within software
* Generates single .zip file
* Select 'Add SCORM / AICC' from add resource option in your course
* Edit SCORM settings - copy settings from http://www.contentgenerator.net/images/scorm/16_settings_mostimportant.png
* Some overly detailed instructions available here: http://www.contentgenerator.net/scorm/

=== Courselab ===
CourseLab version 2.4 has a few bugs. First is with audio. Sometimes (for some reason not known to CourseLab) the audio will restart, creating an echo effect. You will need to un-check the "autostart" mark of the Video object (vidoe object is used to insert audio too)and then define an action on some event that fits the case (for example on the slide's afterdisplay event) choose METHOD (yourvideoobject, PLAY. this will play the audio after the slide is displayed.

Another issue is with FireFox browsers displaying graphics with CourseLab. It is stated in user's manual that some objects utilize Explorer-specific features and author should avoid using them, if he wants to use the course in multi-browser environment. These are: Gradient Box and all AutoShapes. AutoShapes are VML-objects and VML (Vector Markup Language) is not supported by FireFox. SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics - another vector format) could be the good alternative, but there are still problems with displaying inline SVG-objects in both Gecko-family and IE. (from CourseLab Support)

If these FireFox/Image display problems are not an issue then be sure to install the latest browser plug-ins.

There are some problems with Moodle configuration see http://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=96338#p425335

=== eXe OPEN SOURCE SCORM Development Package ===
The eXe project is developing a freely available Open Source authoring application to assist teachers and academics in the publishing of web content without the need to become proficient in HTML or XML markup. Resources authored in eXe can be exported in IMS Content Package, SCORM 1.2, or IMS Common Cartridge formats or as simple self-contained web pages.

http://exelearning.org/

=== ICT 4 Life ===
* Do an "Installing to workstation from a network" install. Third of the way down page 3.
* Download the file from http://centraal.uk.knowledgebox.com/kbase/idx/88/197/article/
* Follow the instructions - unzip into the folder "ActiveTeach 1"
* Run the Bat file "1_Prepare_VLE.bat" you have just unziped.
* Zip the CONTENTS of the "ActiveTeach 1" folder - NOT the whole folder - just what is inside.
* Then Upload your package into Moodle.

=== Learning Essentials 2.0 for Microsoft Office ===
Free Download - http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=e5f4f9c7-1a6a-484b-99fd-c231442deaa4&displaylang=en

From the Microsoft WebSite:
With Learning Essentials, educators and students can get started, stay organized, and successfully complete high-quality work. Educators can create effective instructional resources, complete administrative tasks, and implement new teaching strategies. Using the Content Development Kit, educators can create additional templates and tutorials that integrate with familiar Microsoft Office applications. And students can use templates with project assistance to coach them through a variety of assignments.

The English, French, German, Italian, Norwegian, and Spanish versions of Learning Essentials also support SCORM standards. SCORM Tools seamlessly convert Microsoft Office documents into standards-based e-learning content that can be managed and reused by any SCORM-conformant learning management system.

Learning Essentials is a free download for schools that license Microsoft Office.

(Note, someone with personal experience should update the overview to explain how this tool really works)

=== Microsoft Learning Development System ===
Free tool from Microsoft that allows you to create Scorm resources using drag and drop. This is an internal microsoft tool. Has a few Querks and can crash.

NOTE READ the Help info. To upload to Moodle you will need to zip up your working directory then upload using the 'Add SCORM / AICC' from add resource option in your course

https://www.microsoft.com/learning/tools/lcds/thankyou/default.msp

=== MyUdutu ===
Free software for creating elearning courses with flash interactivity. Website here: http://www.udutu.com/ and an explanatory video here: http://www.udutu.com/my_udutu_video.html It is free to sign up and make the courses - there are many customisable templates enabling users to import images/video/audio/etc and incorporate them into scored questions of varying formats. The finished course can be exported as SCORM 2004 or SCORM 1.2 compliant -again for free and then hosted on a Moodle or other site. (The courses can also be hosted on the udutu site, either for free but with a watermark or for a fee) Quite intuitive to use and offering many features, it is however dependent on good connection to the site as it is created online. Also doesn't seem to like working in Opera.

=== Reload ===
Reusable eLearning Object Authoring and Delivery - NB it is rather technical and may only be suitable for those with an understanding of HTML and the underlying SCORM specification.

http://www.reload.ac.uk/

=== MOS Solo ===
SCORM 2004 authoring tool. Entirely free.

http://www.mossolo.com/

=== ToolBook ===
[Moodle 1.9 / ToolBook Instructor 9.01] Tracking and bookmarking work well. The content should be exported using the SCORM 1.2 option; AICC and SCORM 2004 do not seem to work properly. Scoring works and is viewable within the tracking details, but does not transfer correctly into the Gradebook.
=== Wimba Create (formerly Course Genie) ===

A commercial tool allowing you to convert Word documents into CMS ready content. It's particularly suited for non-technical teachers who have large documents to display on Moodle and allows embedding of video, sound etc. When downloaded to your computer it generates a toolbar in Word giving options to enable easy conversion of the file to clean html pages which include navigation and interactive features. It claims to work on Windows 2000, Windows XP or Windows Vista
Word 2000, XP, 2003 or 2007 and the official site is: http://www.wimba.com/products/wimbacreate/ This link gives information about integration with Moodle: http://www.wimba.com/products/integration_moodle.php Although this is a paid-for option, you can download a free trial from the above site.

=== Wondershare PPT2Flash Professional ===
Convert PowerPoint to Flash and upload the courses to Moodle.
Note that this is not a free tool, rather there is a free '''trial''' version of the full software. Output from the trial version has a watermark on it.
* Download the software for free at http://www.sameshow.com/powerpoint-to-flash-pro.html
* There is a plug-in menu in PowerPoint, click "Publish" button and select "LMS"
* Select "SCORM 1.2" or "SCORM 2004"
* Click "Convert" button
* Select "Open output folder" after conversion is completed
* Choose the output .zip file and upload to Moodle
* Done!

Some overly detailed instructions available here: http://www.sameshow.com/powerpoint-to-flash/howto3.html

Building Feedback

2008-04-01T13:07:55Z

Iusher: /* Dropdownlist (rated) */

{{Feedback}}

After setting a new Feedback you design it by '''adding questions'''. Select the type of question from the drop down list in the top left corner then click the ''Add question to activity'' button.

== Standard options ==

The following apply to all or most question types.

=== Position ===

This number controls the order of the questions. Position 1 is the question nearest the top of the page, so when you create or edit a question, you can choose from the dropdown of available positions (which will vary depending on how many other questions there are). You can also rearrange questions by clicking the position up and down arrows on the main add questions screen.

=== Required ===

These questions are required to be answered and will prompt the user if they are left unaswered. These questions are highlighted with a red star for users, and have a yellow exclamation point beside them when editing Feedback questions.

== Available question types ==

===Captcha===
An test to make sure a real person is filling in the form and not an automatic spamming program of some sort. Asks a person to write out some distorted text which is displayed on screen. You normally won't need this unless you find you are getting spammed a lot.

=== Multiple choice - multiple answers ===

This will give you a series of options with a checkbox next to each one. The respondent can check as many as they want and there is currently no way to specify a limit to how many they can choose which is lower than the total.

=== Multiple choice - single answer allowed (dropdownlist) ===

This will give you a dropdown list from which only one answer can be selected

=== Dropdownlist (rated) ===

This is similar to the dropdownlist option, except that each option has a numerical value associated with it. This means that if asking a question like:

'''How much do you enjoy being in class?'''
* I love it
* I like it
* It's OK
* I don't like it
* I hate it
it's not possible to (easily) get out an "average" score - particularly if you're asking the same question before and after an event or course. If the Dropdownlist (rated) option is used, then numerical values are associated with each option, allowing an average or other measurements of any responses. The above question might look like:

'''How much do you enjoy being in class?'''
* [5] I love it
* [4] I like it
* [3] It's OK
* [2] I don't like it
* [1] I hate it
which might allow for an average (e.g. "4.5 this term, up from 3.9 last term") to be calculated.

=== Label ===

Similarly to a standard Moodle label, this allows you to add abritrary text between questions allowing for extra explanation or to divide the Feedback into sections.

=== Numeric answer (added in Moodle 1.7) ===
Here, you ask a question which must have a number as an answer and specify the acceptable range e.g. "How many arms would you like, if more than 2 were possible? (please specify 0-10)" with a range of 0-10 set in the options. It helps if you specify the acceptable range in the question text.

=== Picture ===

This question type allows you make a question where users must choose from a range of images as their answer. For example: "Which of these flags is known as the Union Jack?". You write your question and CTRL-Click to choose the images you want. Currently, there seems to be only the option to use flags that are provided with the module. Can other images be used? [[User:Matt Gibson|Matt Gibson]] 04:32, 19 March 2008 (CDT)

=== Multiple choice - single answer ===

This will give you a series of radio buttons, which starts on 'Not selected' and then has your options afterwards. Only one can be chosen and 'Not selected' is a valid answer if the question is not set to 'required'.

=== Radiobutton (rated) ===

This is the same as the Multiple choice one above, but you can allocate a numerical value to each of the answers as well, which makes things a little more quantitative if you intend to analyse the results statistically.

=== Longer Text Answer ===

This option is for creating a text box (you specify how big it will appear in rows and columns) which people can write a long answer into.

=== Short Text Answer ===

This option lets you specify a single line answer, with an input box which is a set number of characters long (you choose). You also specify the maximum number of characters you will accept, so that the answer is not too long and/or does not run over the length of the box on screen.

Development:Blogs

2006-08-07T14:06:43Z

Iusher:

== Blogs Wishlist==
Its great to have blogs on Moodle, but we should expect more of Moodle's blogs. Let's make a wishlist.
=== How do I link to a specific Blog entry ? ===
The so called blogosphere bores out of the inter-linking between blog entries, but right now you don't know how to link to a concrete blog entry. Blog entries should have a link to refer themselves. We can only link user's blogs to categories.

=== Blog entry resume ===
A view of the blogs entries that gives only 3-5 lines of the blog entry, so a reader can view a lot of entries on one site and click on a "continue reading" link or so on.

=== Block Blog Tools ===
Some blog tools to view blog entries that wolud be nice to have:
* Last Blog entries.
** per user
** per category
** per course
** per site
* Blog search
* Most readed, commented voted blog entries ( and vote for blog entry, of course )

=== Blogs as course activities? ===
[[Blogs]] were touted as replacing the [[Journal]] activity, which was a course level activity for reflective writing etc. The blogs system as of v1.6 seems to remove blogs from the context of courses (excluding course-level tags) even though they can be accessed from within the course through the Blogs block. The admininstration of blogs seems to be a rather broad brush - once the settings are specified centrally on the server they can't be modified. A vision for this might be:
* Blog as an [[Activity]] in a course
** Teacher able to set up blog with various parameters and should be able to:
*** Specifiy a timeframe for when blog needs to be posted
*** Label all posts in response to this activity with certain tags
*** Decide whether this particular blog activity is visible to course/group/institution/teacher & pupil only/the wider world
*** Should this be an assessed activity? If it's really replacing Journal, then almost certainly...
** Blog posts which come out of this activity should be part of the user's wider personal blog
** If comments do happen on blogs, then each course-centred blog should be able to accept comments just from teachers, from peers, or from no-one

=== Post-forum binding or comments allowed. We want feedback on blog posts. Its a must! ===

Metacourse

2006-07-14T19:40:40Z

Iusher: /* Metacourse setup */

'''Metacourses''' are courses which take their enrolments from other courses i.e. for every course 'enrolled' on the metacourse, all students in the course are also enrolled in the metacourse.

Each time a student enrols on (or unenrols from) a course, s/he is enrolled/unenrolled from any metacourse(s) associated with it (although it doesn't happen immediately - it may take an hour to show up).

Please note that metacourse enrolments do not preserve groups.

==Metacourse setup==
Teachers are able to choose whether a course is a metacourse via the "Is this a metacourse?" (yes/no) menu option in the [[Settings|course settings]]. If a meta course is chosen, the [[Students|students]] page changes from listing/searching for students to listing/searching for courses.

==Metacourse usage==
Metacourses may be used in a variety of ways. For example, consider a course C with units C1, C2, C3 and C4.

*Scenario 1: C is a metacourse with C1, C2, C3 and C4 as normal courses. Students enrolling on C1 or C2 or C3 or C4 are automatically enrolled on C. This would be used, for example, when every student gets to choose one option from C1, C2, C3 or C4 but C is compulsory for all students taking one of those four options.

[[Image:Meta1.gif|Standard Metacourse Usage]]

*Scenario 2: C1, C2, C3 and C4 are metacourses with C as a normal course. Students enrolling on C are automatically enrolled on C1, C2, C3 and C4. This would be used, for example, when all five courses are intended to have exactly the same students.

[[Image:Meta2.gif|Upsidedown Metacourse Usage]]

In both diagrams the arrows denote the direction in which the enrolments are fed.
