Roadmap - MoodleDocs - 1 views

    "Version 2.0 Moodle 2.0, our biggest release ever, is coming together after two years of development. It contains a huge number of core changes to the platform, most of which are designed to give 3rd party developers more flexibility, scalability and safety. The timetable is designed to deliver Moodle 2.0 in time for the new school year in the northern hemisphere and currently looks like this: * March 2010: Moodle 2.0 Beta release * April, May, June 2010: intensive beta testing and bug fixing (freeze on new features) * 1 July 2010: Moodle 2.0 production release You can track our current progress in detail on the Moodle 2.0 Planning document. Please remember that this document is frequently updated and details can change a lot! Draft release notes at Moodle 2.0 release notes. Please add notable items while they are fresh in your mind. The notes will be edited before the final release. System requirements Since Moodle 2.0 is such a major release, we are allowing ourselves some increases in the requirements. * PHP 5.2.8 is now the minimum version supported. (We are aware that several important linux distros are still shipping earlier versions like 5.2.6, but we need at least version 5.2.x for the new File API, and there are bugs in 5.2.7 and earlier that we could not work around.) This allows developers to write cleaner code using the more recent features of PHP, and will also improve user experience. * Databases should be one of the following: o MySQL 5.0.25 or later (InnoDB storage engine highly recommended) o PostgreSQL 8.3 or later o Oracle 10.2 or later o MS SQL 2005 or later * When upgrading to Moodle 2.0, you must have Moodle 1.9 or later. if you are using an earlier version of Moodle (eg 1.8.x) then you need to upgrade to Moodle 1.9.x first. New Community features * Community hub - Moodle.com Makes it easy for teachers to find other courses to download as templates fo

Dan Pink: How Teachers Can Sell Love of Learning to Students | MindShift - 0 views

  • Guided by findings in educational research and neuroscience, the emphasis on cognitive skills like computation and memorization is evolving to include less tangible, non-cognitive skills, like collaboration and improvisation.
  • are all about moving other people, changing their behavior, like getting kids to pay attention in class; getting teens to understand they need to look at their future and to therefore study harder. At the center of all this persuasion is selling: educators are sellers of ideas.
  • Corporate executives, however, rated problem-solving as seventh on their list of attributes in employees, but rated problem identification as the single most important skill. That is, the ability to suss out issues and challenges that aren’t necessarily obvious. And this is where students could benefit from educators — learning the process of identifying a problem.

  • Pink said school superintendents rated problem-solving as the top capability they wanted to instill.
  • There’s something to be said for connecting particular lessons to something in the real world.”
  • . Games have the potential to make math more relevant or engaging, Pink said, but if they lead to standardized thinking about getting to the one right answer, that can be problematic.
  • To get to that engagement, people have to unlearn these deeply rooted habits. I defy you to find a two year old who is not engaged. That’s how we are out of the box.”

Eight Brilliant Minds on the Future of Online Education - Eric Hellweg - Our Editors - ... - 0 views

  • The advent of massively open online classes (MOOCs) is the single most important technological development of the millennium so far. I say this for two main reasons. First, for the enormously transformative impact MOOCs can have on literally billions of people in the world. Second, for the equally disruptive effect MOOCs will inevitably have on the global education industry.
  • In the United States, students don't get their money's worth
  • You have to ask yourself, 'What is the nature of education as a good?' Ideally you want it to be learning. But it also functions as insurance.
  • ...6 more annotations...
  • Things take longer to happen than you think they will and then they happen faster than you think they could.
  • ver the next few years the quality will improve.
  • A teacher in the future will become more like a mentor. The model of on campus education will be more about mentorship and guidance with research as an important factor."
  • "It's important to remember that we're not so good at understanding the subtleties of environments that make them attractive to people.
  • The working out of this will depend a lot on formulas for making it attractive and collaborative.
  • The technology gives us tremendous power to solve this stark problem all around us. We need to design these so no child is left out of this. What need to ask, what is education after all? We need to resolve that. What are we getting our young people ready for? It's for the purpose of our life.

    "In the end, what you assess is what you get. To improve student performance we must first acknowledge that essential intellectual abilities are not accurately reflected through conventional testing, and second, move toward more authentic systems of assessment that more meaningfully measure and represent student and teacher abilities."

Installing and Evaluating Wikis considered at University of Canterbury - BeSTGRID - 0 views

  • Given that a lot of TWiki information is stored in plain directories, and that it's apache driven, the best (and only) way to do farming would be to have a number of virtual servers configured in Apache, and have a separate TWiki directory deployed for each wiki in the farm.
  • Hmmm, it looks like I can't get LDAP authentication working with XWiki:
  • Conclusion: with the support available in XWiki (permissions can only be granted to LDAP groups) and our LDAP configuration (no groups), I cannot get Xwiki to work with LDAP.
  • ...1 more annotation...
  • It appears there is no direct support for farming in confluence.

    I've had a good look at Wikieducator. It's a fantastic program that offers really quality coursework and expert facilitators. I'd love to see us get more closely involved in this sort of thing - particularly with regards to open education and cross institutional collaboration. It's a great way to get involved with a worthwhile cause that can benefit learners around the world.
