Another point that came up in the session was that it is much easier to start with open-source software or platforms rather than try to transition from commercial software to its open-source equivalent. Orwin explained that implementing Moodle into his district was much easier than transitioning from Microsoft Office to Open Office, since teachers were already familiar with Microsoft Office and then had to adjust to the differences in Open Office. That transition was almost four years in the making, he said. On average, it takes about three years before educators begin to truly understand the benefits of moving to open-source software, said Hargadon.

Neuroscience has shown that our brains are plastic and that education, gaming and the use of technology can change our brains' connectivity, function and structure. (1, 2) But learning is more than just biology - it is affected by our learning environment and the people with whom and from whom we learn. So how do you take what neuroscience reveals about the plastic, learning brain and combine it with educational research, expertise and common sense? Klevar, in association with Flinders University, are offering you the chance to explore this with Dr Paul Howard-Jones of the University of Bristol, researcher and author of "Introducing Neuroeducational Research: Neuroscience, Education and the Brain from Contexts to Practice".

This is another messy brain dump because I've had to look this up more than twice… To be able to access activity reports in Moodle courses - The site admin must ensure that the Navigation block is active AND The course owner must add the Navigation block (The course owner can decide whether or not learners can see their own Activity reports in course settings). If you are afraid the Navigation block will confuse students (you cannot hide it) or your site admin won't allow the Navigation menu, create shortcuts to your fav reports. This post tells you how.
