Hi David and everybody,

I often think we teachers go about things in the wrong way. We bat about on the Internet and come across an article or video and think : "Oh, that would be just right for my XXXX class."

What we should be doing is thinking : "I need an article on YYYY for my XXXX class." and then doing a search for YYYY with "Public domain", "Creative commons", "open access"  or "PLOS" tacked on the end. There are even search engines specialised in this.

Another thing is not to bother with the big guys - they usually won't even take the time to reply, but the little guys and gals will and be flattered you asked for permission to use their work.

We could even hand over the research for content to students: sure they'll come up with some dicey stuff but isn't that our job too? To help them learn to recognise the dicey stuff. They won't learn that if they're just spoon fed the good stuff.

Cheers,

Glenys

I'm not sure I'm convinced, but the ideas of Richard Stallman about copyleft certainly make interesting reading.

Bonsoir tous,

Il y a deux discussions récentes sur Using Moodle :

1. Any word on ForumNG thinking, like including in core 2+?
2. Ideas needed: moodle.org improvements ou on parle surtout des forums.
   

Je n'ai pas essayé ForumNG depuis 1.9.14.

Cheers,

Glenys

Bonsoir François,

Pourquoi voulez-vous le supprimer ? Normalement, ce n'est que l'admin qui voit la possibilité de Composer une page web - les autres utilisateurs n'ont pas de droit d'édition sur la page d'accueil. S'il ne veut pas Composer une page web, l'admin n'est pas obligé de le faire.

Cheers,

Glenys

Bonsoir Nadjia,

Je pense que je comprends tes questions mais je ne suis pas sûre de pouvoir y répondre correctement.

Tu veux que le cours s'adapte au niveau de chaque étudiant - c'est bien ça ?

Après chaque Test, tu veux que les groupes soient reconstitués suivant les résultats.

Si tu utilises Moodle 2, c'est possible en utilsant les "activités conditionnelles", c'est expliqué en anglais ici: Conditional activities settings. Je ne sais où c'est expliqué en français. Je n'utilise pas encore Moodle 2 - je ne peux pas en dire plus.

Si tu utilises Moodle 1.9, tu peux faire certaines choses avec QuizPort. Là je peux aider plus.

Cheers,

Glenys

Hi everyone,

I'm organising an on-line workshop (no fee) and thought some of you here might be interested. My motivation in organising it is to get some pedagogical feedback on my English Grammar Exercises which I'm updating. I hope it will be an exchange where all the participants will have equally selfish motivations... and we'll all learn from each other. The title Is it a Silent Way activity? - but no previous experience of the Silent Way is necessary. If you have questions, please don't ask them here but in the course itself in the: General Forum

In July there will also be a face-to-face workshop: Silent Way Get-Together - in Besançon, France. I'm afraid there will be a small fee for that to cover costs.

Cheers,

Glenys
