We invite you to register for the Moodle Academy free webinar “Moodle AI plugins” on Thursday 26th September at 08:00-09:00 UTC.
In this webinar we will welcome Gordon D. Bateson, Professor at Kochi University of Technology in Japan, and Marcus Green, Senior E-learning Technical consultant at Catalyst IT. This presentation will explore the integration of AI into Moodle plugins.
Gordon and Marcus will start with a technical description, suitable for developers, of how it is possible for a plug-in to communicate with an AI engine, such as ChatGPT, via an API. Then they will show the mechanism of how their plugins utilise API’s to get useful results.
In the latter part of the presentation, they will demonstrate their plug-ins and show examples that may be useful to educators.
While this webinar will be most suitable for developers and educators, it may also be interesting to administrators to see what is possible with AI-powered plug-ins, and what settings they may be asked to set.
This webinar is part of the course 'Moodle Academy webinars'. You have to be enrolled in the course to register and join the webinar.
We invite you to register for the Moodle Academy free webinar “How computer-marked quizzes can best help students learn” on Wednesday 18th September at 12:00-13:00 UTC.
At this webinar, we will welcome Tim Hunt, Senior Developer at the Open University.
This talk will be divided in two sections, a theoretical part and a practical part. Tim will start by talking about what is most important in our use of Moodle: teaching and learning. Considering what is known about how education works, when can computer-marked question be a good thing to include in your course, and which ways of using them are likely to be most effective?
After establishing how quizzes can contribute to good course design in general, Tim will then talk about some of the features of the Moodle quiz and question bank which let you realise those ideas in practice. However, when implementing technology in schools and universities, it must work for the people involved, in the time they have available, and the institution must be able to administer that use at large scale. Therefore, to be effective, software like Moodle must balance the educational needs with other requirements.
