Gamification is important
Keep buttons simple and clean
Apply the KISS model
Pitch your design to the learner demographics and target points

Use video as depart as part of the design
Navigation buttons - keep it simple - next - prev -

Simple assessments
 Drag and drops
 Include typed answers
 Think about a online vs f2f

eReaders abandoned


Using Templates to create consistency

Christine Nicholas
GOTAFE

The Past
Teachers needed to know Dw
Then migrated to Moodle
 Teacher opinion was - easy to use
 Moodle needed to make it look like a webpage
 Using 'orphaned' design

When you backup, links need to be reinstated





New template
Use 'one topic format'
Use the natural navigation in moodle
 Activity Block
 Progress bar
 Html block
 Course content block
 Use Banners to represent the learning
 Use icons for the sections

Supporting mandates, managing fears and selling the ship

Rebecca Ritchie and Alex Thackray Macquarie University

iLearn is their Moodle
Mandated grade book use because of lack of consistency, lack of transparency with giving out grades to students
Business fac 350 casual staff
Reduce administrative errors from multiple spreadsheet use
Academics not happy to make the change, excel seen as being more powerful
Reduce grade appeals
Ongoing information about student performance
Faculty recognised there would be resistance and project manager assigned and training rolled out
Started with small pilot overs 3 years complete rollout across all of business

Lot of fear countered by one to one appointments
Increased time in front of screen
SMS did not talk to Moodle
Terminology a problem between Moodle and SMS

Mandated use from start of 2015
Questioning grades happening earlier

Ranking useful to this cohort
