[Moodle] WIKI - Staff ICT AUDIT and Professional Development

Sat Apr 26 16:57:14 EST 2008

G'day Stephen, I see what you have done here; taking out the submit button
lets users revisit a response to make further changes or reflect on their
contribution. What a clever trick for either the student goals for reporting
or careers guidance for our mips program. I'll mention it to our technician
Daniel to give it a try.

Paul, is it worth forking this cool code into a new sourceforge account to
create a new feedback (or reflection / contemplation / excogation /
deliberation / rumination) module for Moodle?

Paul, I am away from my school desktop and Markbook at the moment. Will the
Markbook reporting package (or Quickvic)  accept a CSV file import? I wonder
what fields are worth grabbing for this and are you likewise thinking of
adapting an existing module?

Regards Roland

> Hi All,
>
> When we attempted to tackle the problem last year we tried a couple of
> solutions. Moodle was seen as the ideal container for Student Learning
> Goals
> (SLG) because...
>
>    * students knew how to login and access Moodle (well, most of them.
> Anyway it was a good method of making sure all could log in affectively)
>    * Moodle has the facility to group students so homegroup teachers couuld
> easily identify their bunch of students for editing and feedback purposes
>    * By setting up a class called Student Learning Goals, students had an
> easy way of loacting their SLG's. Also support materials, instructions etc
> would also be here for both students and teachers.
>    * Using phpMyAdmin would allow me to pull out the comments from Moodle
> and put them in a format so that they could be bulk uploaded into Markbook.
>
> Initially we tried to use the forum module but anyone who has tried this
> will know that the comments need to be copied and pasted by the homegroup
> teacher from the journal to Markbook, If the comments from the journal are
> extracted from the the Moodle database then the html tags have to be
> stripped from the text. I found this to be so time consuming that this
> method was rejected.
>
> The next method we tried was to use the questionnaire module which I
> installed into Moodle. This solved the problem of tags as it only required
> a
> text entry. It seemed to work well initially. Three input boxes were
> created
> for students to record their goals and staff could go to their grouped
> students to check their goals. As we were doing this for years 7 to 10 the
> task was quite a handful. My method of managing the goals was to use
> phpMyAdmin to down load all the necessary tables from the Moodle database
> and use Access to develop all reports to keep track of everything. Also it
> would eventually be possible to to a bulk upload of SLG's into Markbook
> instead of individually cutting and pasting.
>
> Then when everything was going well ....
>
>    * we started having problems with the questionnaire module in that some
> students would type in their goals but they would not save. There was no
> apparent reason for this as the problem occurred indiscriminately.
> Eventually we were overwhelmed by this.
>
>    * Staff were slow to monitor SLG's and I had to use Access to print
> special home group reports.  They were reluctant to go to Moodle to check -
> I guess this is a common issue with staff and technology. This made the
> whole process very time consuming and difficult to manage.
>    * we eventually abandoned the whole thing and had a good think about how
> we might better manage SLG's
>
> Anyway to cut a long and painful story short we now get students to write
> up
> their goals in their diaries and homegroup teachers validate these for
> their
> reports. Much simpler solution.
>
> I still think the Moodle solution is good because it groups students really
> well. What we need is some specific module which will manage the SLG
> specifically for our needs and not a hacked solution like the one I tried.
> Probably the best solution would be a specifically written module written
> by
> Markbook which would allow students to input their comments directly into
> Markbook over the network.
