I usually provide some materials on the vle on C#, because that will be the new language and they can pick up the notes etc over the summer to get prepared. As my students reach the end of thier level 4 course in Computing, an inevitable question is "what will we be using next year at level 5".

But then as with now, you try to leverage the advantages, and if time is an issue, then it becomes time saving that you call in as the sweetener.

I was asked this week to provide a short session on using our Moodle vle for the for our end of year Teaching and Learning Conference here at the College. As you will have read from other posts on this blog I am taking every opportunity to provide the widest expose possible for Wimba Create this academic year, so the second half is sorted.

Going by the transactions from the latest learning trial using Moodle, here at Bromley I feel certain that I will be looking at another successful outcome. There were 23 students taking part of which only 16 eventually completed the project and between them accounted for over 12,000 transactions in four weeks.

Since we first decided upon Moodle as our vle, training as a means of getting it out there to staff was clearly going to be of some priority. Well moving as we are toward a major 2.4 upgrade, the issue of training also emerges, because lets face it there are some significant differences.

Flipped Classroom is of course only a new and it seems Americanism for what many of us, myself included, have been and continue trying to do with the vle; that is get it to work as a vle, not just a course management system. Flipped Classroom for City of Westminster College , for me turned out to be a really worthwhile session also.

I think I could a make tentative assumption from this that for many staff the idea of training during term time is still difficult to manage.

Just into a new round of vle training in Moodle. The problem appeared to be that if staff were slow to take up use of the vle fairly soon following the training, they seemed to loose confidence and I found them returning to the course again the next term or later. We have now completed the rollout and trials.

Given that we certainly need to avoid the pitfalls of just dropping standard class handouts onto the vle and thinking that's fine; chances are if they are not read in class, they will not be reading these on-line, at least that's my experience.

Having selected your flipped video and material, it is then published to a unique url so that it can be shared either through your vle, e-mail, Facebook, or Twitter, brilliant. Furthermore you can even add additional questions and content to each lesson you choose. So how do you get to track your student activity?

The idea, is that now teaching staff are beginning to make more use of the vle, which after all is really little more than an e-Learning delivery platform, they should now start to think in terms using it deploy and track learning activities rather than just as a means of distributing course notes, which so often is how these systems end up.
