5 UNSW Mdle 2 staff step by step instructins 1 Getting started The fllwing pages will help yu get used t the Mdle 2 envirnment: What is Mdle 2? Re rientatin fr Mdle 1.9 users what s changed and what s new in Mdle since versin 1.9 Lg in, access a curse, time ut, lg ut hw t access and exit Mdle What s n the My hme page? What s n a curse hme page? What tls are available in Mdle?

6 UNSW Mdle 2 staff step by step instructins 2 What is Mdle 2? Mdle (Mdular Object Oriented Learning Envirnment) is pen surce learning management sftware. Tw versins f Mdle are currently being used at UNSW, Mdle 1.9 and Mdle 2. These instructins relate t Mdle 2 nly.

7 UNSW Mdle 2 staff step by step instructins 3 Re rientatin fr Mdle 1.9 users file repsitries (new) Wrkshp activity (changed) Wiki activity (changed) curse and activity cmpletin (new) cnditinal activities (selective release) (new) rles and permissins (changed) private files (new) navigatin (changed) cmments (new) new blcks (new) File repsitries With Mdle 2 s file repsitry system: Duplicate files are nly stred nce, saving disk space. When yu uplad a file, Mdle gives it the same permissins as the resurce r activity t which it is upladed. (Fr example, a file may belng t a file resurce, a frum pst r a wiki page). Yu access repsitries using the new File picker interface. The new system manages resurces files and keeps track f their usage in activities, e.g. when an image is used n a cntent page. Metadata abut each file (authr, date, license infrmatin) is stred in the database. Yu can nw cpy dcuments and media int Mdle frm external cntent repsitries (Ggle Dcs, Flickr, YuTube, Wikimedia, Mahara) using an interface similar t a standard Open dialg bx. Yu can als imprt files frm yur desktp r by specifying a URL. Wrkshp activity Mdle 1.9: The Wrkshp tl is fairly cumbersme and cmplex; it takes a great deal f time and cncentratin t becme familiar with it. It has nly been maintained sufficiently t keep it peratinal. Mdle 2: The new Wrkshp tl (cmpletely rewritten) has a mre user friendly interface and the prcess is mre streamlined and better signpsted. Wrkshp activities prceed as fllws: 2. Teacher creates assessment tasks and sets up the grading strategy. 3. Students submit respnses. 4. Peers and/r teacher assess the submissins. 5. Mdle calculates the grades fr bth students submissins and their assessment f thers submissins.

8 UNSW Mdle 2 staff step by step instructins 4 Wiki activity Mdle 1.9: HTML and Crele editing frmats are available. Teacher has t chse which HTML mde t allw, whether t allw file uplad, aut linking ptins and student admin ptins. Mdle 2: The Wiki activity has been cmpletely rewritten. HTML, Crele and Nwiki (a Mediawikilike markup language) editing frmats are nw available. File uplad is autmatically available. The Adding a new Wiki page has been simplified and, as with all activities, yu can Restrict access t wikis, and set Activity cmpletin cnditins. Curse cmpletin and activity cmpletin Mdle 1.9: The Gradebk is the nly place where it is clear which activities/curses have been cmpleted by students. It is nt pssible t tell whether a student has viewed a resurce r an activity. Mdle 2: Cmprehensive cmpletin indicatrs have nw been integrated int Mdle at bth activity and curse level. Using the Restrict access and Activity cmpletin sectins n the Adding a new [Activity] page, yu can nw define when the system cnsiders that a student has cmpleted the activity. Yu may, fr example, require that a certain number f psts are put up, that a grade is assigned r a particular grade is achieved, that a chice is made r that a student manually marks a resurce as having been viewed. Yu can nw specify a curse cmpletin cnditin fr all students. This can be based n activity cmpletin, r n achieving a certain grade, meeting deadlines r ther criteria. This standard can be used as a prerequisite t ther curses, allwing rdered prgressin and scafflding. Yu and yur students can access reprts n students prgress thrugh a curse r series f curses. Cnditinal activities (selective release) Mdle 1.9: N alternative learning paths can be cnstructed thrugh a Mdle 1.9 curse. Yu can either shw r hide an activity, but yu cannt make its visibility cnditinal n viewing anther resurce r cmpleting anther activity. Mdle 2: With the new Cnditinal Activities feature, yu can restrict access t activities based n dates, grade btained, the cmpletin f anther activity r ther criteria. Using these criteria, yu can set up curse cntent s that it is prgressively disclsed.

9 UNSW Mdle 2 staff step by step instructins 5 Rles and permissins Mdle 1.9: An instructr can assign Teaching Assistant, Student and Guest rles within a curse. Mdle 2: All rles are assigned by the system administratr. Individuals rles can be viewed within a curse (in the Settings blck: Under Curse administratin, click Users > Permissins > Check permissins), but nly the system administratr can change them. Instructrs can determine access t resurces and activities using the Restrict access sectin f the Adding page. Private files (new feature) In Mdle 2, each user has access t a private files area where they can uplad and manage a set f files. Access the private files area using the Navigatin blck (My hme > My prfile > My private files), r add the My private files blck. In the File picker, Private files displays as a repsitry frm which yu can select files t use in a curse. Navigatin Mdle 1.9: Mving arund a Mdle 1.9 curse can be quite labrius, requiring a lt f clicking thrugh pages. Mdle 2: The new standard Navigatin and Settings blcks n every page shws different links depending n whether yu are at curse level r resurce/activity level, allwing yu t jump elsewhere quickly. Cmments Mdle 1.9: Instructrs rely n such tls as frums and glssaries t allw student input and cmmenting. Mdle 2: User cmments (n glssaries, databases, blgs etc) are nw managed centrally and handled and displayed cnsistently thrughut Mdle. Cmments can be added and deleted withut lading a new page. The new Cmments blck can be added t any curse page.

This applies bth t files yu're adding and t images yu're embedding in the curse. If yu dn't use legacy curse files, and instead uplad files and images directly t a curse, yu can create issues relating t: linking t files within a curse editing files file management and curse rllver. If yu tend t perfrm lts f edits n resurce files and images, and t d s n the fly, at the last mment, it is mst unwise t uplad them directly t a curse. Get them right n yur wn cmputer, r in the private files area, then mve them int legacy curse files when they're ready fr use in a curse. Issues? What issues? Links and instances When yu 'link' t a resurce that is nt in legacy curse files, yu in fact create a separate instance f the resurce behind the scenes in Mdle. Every time yu 'link' t the resurce, yu create a new instance. When yu want t update the resurce, yu must update all f these instances f it. If yu use legacy curse files, nly ne instance f the resurce exists within the curse, s yu nly have t update that. If yu want t link t the resurce frm several places, yu cannt reuse the first link yu created, because the link in the HTML editr cntains a reference t a temprary database lcatin). That is, yu can't Cpy Image Lcatin and Paste it int a new place in the curse. Yu have t create a new link (and a new instance f the resurce). This practice can easily lead t strage prblems. T ensure that yu avid this prliferatin f instances f files r images, when yu are inserting a file frm legacy curse files int a curse, make sure yu check the Link external check bx.
