Towards PLEs throughwidget spaces in Moodle
نویسندگان
چکیده
Bringing flexibility and extensibility into Learning Management Systems is crucial because it gives teachers and students a free choice of technologies and educational materials they want to use for their courses. This paper presents a solution by enabling widgets (OpenSocial apps) within Moodle. Our first Moodle plugin allows teachers to freely choose a set of tools they want to use in their courses, although students cannot change widgets proposed by teachers. Additionally, the plugin enables the flexible interaction interfaces inside Moodle and improves the interoperability of Moodle with other Web platforms. The environment was evaluated with students within several courses. Even though the environment was perceived as useful by students, they lacked their own personalization. The second Moodle plugin described tackles this problem.

Visualizing PLE Usage
In recent years, several researchers have been developing methodologies, technologies and systems to support the assembly of learning services, tools and resources in personal learning environments (PLEs). The overall goal is to enrich or even replace traditional learning management systems like Moodle and Blackboard with mash-ups of widgets and services that can be combined and configured in a...
متن کاملTeaching Power Electronics and Digital Electronics using Personal Learning Environments: From Traditional Learning to Remote Experiential Learning
Practical works have a fundamental role in the curriculum of any scientist, engineer, and technician. It helps learners to face the real world and put in practice what they have learned to judge their operability. Moreover, due to some limiting factors and due to the growth number of learners, universities and institutes have become inapt to give efficient learning. Distance education presents ...
متن کاملDo you Moodle? Experiences with a Virtual Learning Environment
The authors follow up on their long-standing interest in Virtual Learning Environments (VLE’s). They sketch out connected terms and definitions, taking into account the framework conditions of a design studio context as well as regular teaching. Subsequently, they describe the MOODLE-platform and supply arguments for selection along with alternatives. They particularly focus on enriching intera...
متن کاملCurrents in Metric Spaces
We develop a theory of currents in metric spaces which extends the classical theory of Federer–Fleming in euclidean spaces and in Riemannian manifolds. The main idea, suggested in [20, 21], is to replace the duality with differential forms with the duality with (k+ 1)-ples (f, π1, . . . , πk) of Lipschitz functions, where k is the dimension of the current. We show, by a metric proof which is ne...
