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

Which didn’t materialise
What went right?
1. The institution backed Moodle
2. The LTSSsupported 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 surprisesEmphasise 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 videosProductivity 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 storageMarketing and events management Eventbrite – events management Find a Masters – marketing Oxboffice – ticketing service Google Adwords – online advertising
40+ tools“It is almost impossible
for busy academic staff to stay up to date” (SLiDA)
Multi-skilled and influential…

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

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.’
