Moodle 2 is Here!

 Tuesday, March 26, 2013 - 8:45 AM by jpyke

Moodle 2 is now open for you to develop your Summer and Fall courses. Go to the Moodle 2 login page to sign in using your NinerNET credentials.  Your Summer and Fall courses are listed in the "Navigation" block, under the "My courses" menu.

When do I have to start using it? Instructors have the option to use Moodle 1 or Moodle 2 for their Summer 2013 courses. Starting in Fall 2013, live courses will only be available in Moodle 2.

Can I reuse my existing course materials from Moodle 1? Here are the easy-to-follow instructions to backup and restore your course materials into Moodle 2.

How long will I still have access to Moodle 1? You will be able to access all of your materials in Moodle 1 throughout the upcoming academic year, but starting in the Fall term, all live courses will be in Moodle 2 only.

Do I need training to use Moodle 2? Moodle 2 works in a very similar way to Moodle 1, so most people will choose to just start using Moodle 2 right away. If you would like training or additional help, you can sign up for workshops and "open swim" sessions through our CTL calendar.

CTL Presents: Dr. Scott Klemmer, Stanford University

 Thursday, March 21, 2013 - 9:42 AM by jpyke

“Teaching a Massive Open Online Class (MOOC) with Peer and Self Assessment”

Sign up now to attend to attend a talk on Thursday, March 28, by Dr. Scott Klemmer, an Associate Professor at Stanford University, co-director of the Human-Computer Interaction Group,  and the Bredt Faculty Scholar development chair.  He has recently taught two Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) through Coursera. The course he teaches, Human-Computer Interaction, combines design theory with practical assignments involving design of digital interfaces and applications. With tens of thousands of students, the prospect of grading students' designs would seem insurmountable. To address this issue, Dr. Klemmer has experimented with a variety of self-grading and peer-grading strategies, with mixed success, but very interesting results from a pedagogical standpoint. Dr. Klemmer will share his MOOC experiences in this presentation.

Guest Instructor: Dr. Scott Klemmer (see bio)
Date/Time: March 28, 2013 - 3:30pm - 5:00pm
Room: CHHS 161
