LearnerScript, the Moodle reporting tool, is something that can be used right away, with or without minimal configuration after you plug it in on your Moodle. To make it happen, this Moodle analytics tool comes with a set of useful Canned Reports or default reports. Let's dive into the video now to check the 5 most common Canned Reports from LearnerScript to Start Your Moodle reporting journey. #1.

In this report, drill down each metric such as enrolments, activities, assignments, grades, time spent, etc., to evaluate your course further.  In addition to this, do the comparative analysis of courses side by side.

Unschooling? Interesting concept. Can you find other resources about this sort of education?

This is a discussion of connectivist learning, particularly the teacher's role(s).

I was rather amazed at the implications of this video in terms of where public education came from. Then, I was discussing this with a friend who said they had been exposed to the same ideas when he was in a course on the history and philosophy of education at the Univ. of Ariz. in 1970. I find it disturbing not just that the philosophy of education has such roots, but that it has been known for such a long time. It seems that this would provide some sort of imperative for improvement and change. What do you think?

I have been a critical observer of the educational system since kindergarten. I am amazed that I became a teacher in the public school system as that was the last thing I had considered. I had initially wanted to be a dancer but left for Europe to study art. I left Toronto right after high school when life stepped in. I became an English language teacher to adults in a foreign country due to unforeseen circumstances. How strange! But, I never gave up. I have been doing all I can to break the public school system from the inside. It has been quite challenging, but with some terrific personal rewards.
