Deploying in Glue!PS from Web Collage (1/4)

There are two designs configured in Web Collage to be deployed in Moodle

– User: educator– Design names: <...> - Version to

deploy with GluePS– Participants and tools already

selected from the VLE in Web Collage

Deploying in Glue!PS from Web Collage (2/4)

Click on “Deploy in Glue!PS” and a new Tab should be opened

– That’s Glue!PS (you can switch to English if you want)

Glue!PS is a different tool than Web Collage…– But when invoked from Web Collage, part of the data that Glue!PS

needs is automatically transferred from one tool to the other That’s why Glue!PS takes us straight to step 3 (Tools Types)

Deploying in Glue!PS from Web Collage (3/4) Glue!PS step 3 allows us to modify which tool

to use in each activity– In this case, you can skip this step and proceed to step 4

Click “Next” (bottom of the page)

Glue!PS step 4 allows us to indicate whether we want participants in an activity to “reuse” a tool (and its contents) that was used in a previous activity (see next slides)

Deploying in Glue!PS from Web Collage (4/4)

Reusing presentations by the whole class– According to the design, supergroups’ presentations should be

presented to the whole class– Locate “Presenting final results to the whole class” in the activity

tree and configure which “tools instances” to reuse (see how the configuration should look like)

You don’t need to modify anything else in this step Please, click the “Next” button

Glue!PS: Generating a course in Moodle(1/2)

Click “Generate Course” button and wait some minutes while

– Glue!PS contacts Glue! to request the creation and configuration of all the tools instances needed (8 Dabbleboard whiteboards, 6 Google Documents, 2 Google Presentations)

– Glue!PS generates a Moodle backup file with all the information required to be provided to Moodle to create the course

2. Select course “OEB 2011- Course for testing” – This should be an empty course– Students have been previously enrolled to facilitate your work

There are already configured two courses with the designs of the hands on:OEB 2011 - LD A - Programming network software
