2008-9: Migration to Moodle
2011: Everyone has got to use it

Moodle baseline v1.0
Should include:
 news forum
 timetable/course calendar
 lecture materials
 glossary of key terms
 additional texts and resources
We prepared for a backlash
cc: jezarnold - https://www.flickr.com/photos/35486877@N00
Which didn’t materialise
What went right?
1. The institution backed Moodle
2. The LTSS
supported Moodle
We linked key systems together
cc: i spy with my crafty eyes - https://www.flickr.com/photos/36780990@N06
We provided templates
cc: Ken Whytock - https://www.flickr.com/photos/7815007@N07
We aligned training with the baseline
We targeted new staff
We targeted late adopters
No surprises
Emphasise
the student
experience
Speak their
language
Find out what
motivates them
3. Departmental staff
adopted Moodle
The teaching administrators
UCL admin and financial systems
Portico – student information service
Financial Information System (FIS) - financial data and management
Timetabling/CMIS - room bookings and timetabling
Service in Partnership (SiP) – HR forms
Rome - online recruitment
Web content management (silva)
Scanners – being piloted as attendance checks for Points-Based
Immigration System (PBIS)
UCL teaching and learning systems
Moodle - e–learning environment
Turnitin – plagiarism detection
Lecturecast – automated lecture recording
Opinio - web-based surveys
My Portfolio – staff and student e-portfolio
Electronic Voting Systems (EVS) – audience response 'clickers'
Wiki – collaborative web pages
Blackboard Collaborate – virtual classroom
Communication and networking tools
Email – inefficient way of contacting students?
Facebook– seen mainly as a communication tool
Phone Text messaging – no UCL service but a strong demand
Messenger - text messaging
Skype – video conferencing
Linkedin – professional networking
Blogs – UCLWordpress service
Twitter –how to use in HE?
YouTube – online videos
Productivity tools
MS Office – Word, Excel, PP, Acrobat
Dreamweaver – web page development
Etherpad – collaborative note taking
Evernote – stores notes, photos
Google docs – share web documents
Google analytics – web usage
UCL Dropbox – exchange large files
Dropbox – web-based online storage
Marketing and events management
Eventbrite – events management
Find a Masters – marketing
Oxboffice – ticketing service
Google Adwords – online advertising
“It is almost impossible
for busy academic staff to
stay up to date” (SLiDA)
Multi-skilled and influential…
cc: Public Domain Photos - https://www.flickr.com/photos/28958738@N06
Oversaw migration of web content
4. Students demanded
better Moodle
What students liked best
Some staff are quick and use
the resource really well;
couldn't ask for better.
Others seem either tech-shy,
slow to load materials, or
don't get the links right …
My #### classes … seemed to
have an aversion to any 21st
century technology altogether.
Consistency and more
control in Moodle
would be good
But…
Moodle use varies
enormously by lecturer:
some make excellent
use … some don't use
them at all
All courses should be
on Moodle, and lecture
notes and homework
problems uploaded on
to it
So…
A departmental push

Moodle make-overs
cc: Ethan T. Allen - https://www.flickr.com/photos/96552810@N00
We achieved Total Moodle
PART 2
Being (more) strategic
It’s 2011…
… we have no clear
education strategy
… and I’m asked to prepare an
e-learning strategy
(2012-2015)
Some horizon scanning
A spot of surveillance
Expert guidance
Textbook stuff
‘The leader’s role is to describe
reality and give hope.’

Ten categories:

4. Assessment
5. Resources
6. Cross-platform compatibility
7. Accessibility
8. Intellectual property
9. Active participation
10. Quality assurance
3. Seamless digital infrastructure…?

4. Connecting students,
academics and ideas…?
“Thinking is easy,
acting is difficult,
and to put one’s
thought into action
is the most difficult
thing in the world.”
Goethe

deeds always
exceeds the
grandest of
intentions.”

And have a strategy, with
education at the core
“We will develop a distinctive

connect students with each
other, with staff and with the
outside world to support
networked, research-based
and interdisciplinary
education.”
