The Moodle User Access Reports form a group of simple yet quite useful ones from the Moodle analytics point of view. There're four quick User Access Reports to present to you through this blog post. These reports throw some light for quick insights to the questions that start with what, where, which, and how many in Moodle learning analytics. We think (because it's not sure!) that these Moodle reports may commonly available in Moodle analytics tools. If not, visit the demo website of LearnerScript and get more information about them.

Multi-tenancy has been a hot topic in the Moodle community for some time now and something we are often asked about. Now that it has been dropped from the Moodle 2.3 roadmap a lot of organisations have had to revise their plans on how to achieve multi-tenancy using Moodle. In this white paper Synergy Learning Technical Director, Alex Büchner, introduces the concept of multi-tenancy, outlines the benefits and offers three approaches to achieving multi-tenancy in Moodle.

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".

"A recent review of the University's current Learning Management System has recommended that from 2012 Macquarie University move to the Moodle Learning Management System (LMS). Currently staff and students use the WebCT LMS provided by Blackboard.

Although Moodle by itself is a great system it does not previously have any embedded support for voice communication. This project created a Gong Moodle module so that teachers using Moodle can easily put a Gong discussion board into a course. The Gong activity can be supported as an individual one (for a course as a whole) or a grouped one (for each group inside a course). The module provides a seamless integration. For example, user authentication in the Gong system is done transparently to the users. They are not ever required to log on the Gong system separately once they have logged on to Moodle.

"I conducted a survey at my current school (December 2010) and am sharing some of the results here. Some of the results confirmed findings through observation, some were obvious, other not so much. I used the 'Questionnaire' module to create and deliver the survey (all through Moodle) and then exported the results to Excel to do more refined analysis that the module does not allow."

Interesting student feedback from this school survey about Moodle.
