“A Moodle Repository for Quick Sharing
of Paper/Online Packages”

Teaching ProgramA General English program at a Japanese
University (Sapporo Gakuin University)
• 2000 students – 4 required semesters of oral communication– 8 majors, grouped by English placement test level
• 70 general English classes/week– Each class has a Moodle course for attendance– Over half of classes taught in blended learning
rooms or computer laboratories– 20-25 classes use Moodle LMS for various learning
activities
![Page 3: Project Format Repositories for Teacher Collaboration Don Hinkelman & Andrew Johnson Sapporo Gakuin University JALTCALL 2008 Conference, June 1 “A Moodle.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022033104/56649ece5503460f94bdb735/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Typical Teaching Scenario
• A teacher of general English classes at SGU– 5 freshman classes / week– 5 sophomore classes / week – All in blended learning rooms (as of 2008)– Generally same content in classes (some variations
for level)– So a teacher might have 5 Moodle courses with the
same content (need to duplicate/transfer online and paper materials among 5 courses)
– No textbooks, teacher creates content• Paper booklets on themes• Online Moodle activities

Moodle Picture
• Get better picture

Questions• How do I move and copy materials
across my own courses?
• How do I share my materials with colleagues?
• How do I get materials from colleagues?
• How do I “package” pieces of lessons to put together in my own way?
• How do I “unpackage” whole courses that I can adapt, cut, paste, rearrange?
![Page 7: Project Format Repositories for Teacher Collaboration Don Hinkelman & Andrew Johnson Sapporo Gakuin University JALTCALL 2008 Conference, June 1 “A Moodle.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022033104/56649ece5503460f94bdb735/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Answer?
![Page 8: Project Format Repositories for Teacher Collaboration Don Hinkelman & Andrew Johnson Sapporo Gakuin University JALTCALL 2008 Conference, June 1 “A Moodle.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022033104/56649ece5503460f94bdb735/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
What is a Repository?
• A Broad Definition“A place where materials are stored in
sufficient quantity; a store of information”
• Metaphor:
![Page 9: Project Format Repositories for Teacher Collaboration Don Hinkelman & Andrew Johnson Sapporo Gakuin University JALTCALL 2008 Conference, June 1 “A Moodle.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022033104/56649ece5503460f94bdb735/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Problem with the iTunes Metaphor of a Repository
• Single file sharing;
pieces of a lesson – Sound file: iTunes – Text file: EFL Handout sites– Image file: Flickr– Video file: YouTube
![Page 10: Project Format Repositories for Teacher Collaboration Don Hinkelman & Andrew Johnson Sapporo Gakuin University JALTCALL 2008 Conference, June 1 “A Moodle.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022033104/56649ece5503460f94bdb735/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
New Metaphor:
“Project” Repository
Our needs: 1. Single theme package:
• “Cooking”, “Introductions”, “Japanese Culture”
2. Multi-media packages:• Video, sound, text, image together
3. Blended packages• Combine online and offline activities• Online: quizzes, surveys, assignments• Offline: booklets, handouts, games

Repository Stages
1.Making do with Moodle (2006-2007)
2.Project Format (2008)
3.Public (2009 - )
![Page 12: Project Format Repositories for Teacher Collaboration Don Hinkelman & Andrew Johnson Sapporo Gakuin University JALTCALL 2008 Conference, June 1 “A Moodle.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022033104/56649ece5503460f94bdb735/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Stage 1 Repository:
Making Do With Moodle
![Page 13: Project Format Repositories for Teacher Collaboration Don Hinkelman & Andrew Johnson Sapporo Gakuin University JALTCALL 2008 Conference, June 1 “A Moodle.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022033104/56649ece5503460f94bdb735/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
We uploaded Word files of project booklets in our teacher sharing area – one course.Students could not access this area.
![Page 14: Project Format Repositories for Teacher Collaboration Don Hinkelman & Andrew Johnson Sapporo Gakuin University JALTCALL 2008 Conference, June 1 “A Moodle.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022033104/56649ece5503460f94bdb735/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
In addition, we had another course to store online activities. For example, I did a unit on Japanese culture. I made these activities (many contain media files).
Problem: I want to duplicate them into my 5 courses. With Moodle 1.8, how can we do this? We tried to use standard Moodle to duplicate in four ways.
![Page 15: Project Format Repositories for Teacher Collaboration Don Hinkelman & Andrew Johnson Sapporo Gakuin University JALTCALL 2008 Conference, June 1 “A Moodle.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022033104/56649ece5503460f94bdb735/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Duplicating Approaches
1. Import Function
2. Backup / Restore Function
3. Site Files
4. Media Files Course
![Page 16: Project Format Repositories for Teacher Collaboration Don Hinkelman & Andrew Johnson Sapporo Gakuin University JALTCALL 2008 Conference, June 1 “A Moodle.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022033104/56649ece5503460f94bdb735/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Course Files are all-or-nothing. No way to bring along just the files needed for the activities selected.
1. Import 2. Back-up & Restore
![Page 17: Project Format Repositories for Teacher Collaboration Don Hinkelman & Andrew Johnson Sapporo Gakuin University JALTCALL 2008 Conference, June 1 “A Moodle.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022033104/56649ece5503460f94bdb735/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
More Problems with Import
• All Course files duplicated—huge size
• Activities and resources are ordered by type—not the teaching topic
• Browsing teachers will not know which activities go together for the topic
![Page 18: Project Format Repositories for Teacher Collaboration Don Hinkelman & Andrew Johnson Sapporo Gakuin University JALTCALL 2008 Conference, June 1 “A Moodle.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022033104/56649ece5503460f94bdb735/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
More Problems with Import
• After import/restore, the activities and resources are scattered around the course page.
• Permissions – if a media file a quiz uses is in another course, only people with permissions can see it
![Page 19: Project Format Repositories for Teacher Collaboration Don Hinkelman & Andrew Johnson Sapporo Gakuin University JALTCALL 2008 Conference, June 1 “A Moodle.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022033104/56649ece5503460f94bdb735/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
3. Site Files
Moodle
A major limitation to using “Site Files” is that only administrators have access. Teachers do not.
![Page 20: Project Format Repositories for Teacher Collaboration Don Hinkelman & Andrew Johnson Sapporo Gakuin University JALTCALL 2008 Conference, June 1 “A Moodle.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022033104/56649ece5503460f94bdb735/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
4. Media Files Course

The Project Format
![Page 23: Project Format Repositories for Teacher Collaboration Don Hinkelman & Andrew Johnson Sapporo Gakuin University JALTCALL 2008 Conference, June 1 “A Moodle.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022033104/56649ece5503460f94bdb735/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
What is the “Project Format”?
• The sections in a Moodle course (topic format or weekly format) are separated.
• Think in terms of ‘topic boxes’ (we refer to them as ‘project boxes’)
• Collect activities revolving around a theme in a single project box
• You can duplicate all the activities in a project box to any other project box on your Moodle site
![Page 24: Project Format Repositories for Teacher Collaboration Don Hinkelman & Andrew Johnson Sapporo Gakuin University JALTCALL 2008 Conference, June 1 “A Moodle.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022033104/56649ece5503460f94bdb735/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Features of the Project Format
• Resource Upload – Saves time, auto-naming
• Course File Upload– Saves time, bulk selection
• Backup of a single section– Move/share to another site
• Import of a single section– Anywhere in the site
![Page 25: Project Format Repositories for Teacher Collaboration Don Hinkelman & Andrew Johnson Sapporo Gakuin University JALTCALL 2008 Conference, June 1 “A Moodle.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022033104/56649ece5503460f94bdb735/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Each project box has an associated directory. All media files used in activities are stored in this directory.
![Page 26: Project Format Repositories for Teacher Collaboration Don Hinkelman & Andrew Johnson Sapporo Gakuin University JALTCALL 2008 Conference, June 1 “A Moodle.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022033104/56649ece5503460f94bdb735/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
•Resource Upload: Quick way to upload a file and it automatically becomes a “resource”•Course File Upload: Quick way to upload files you want to use in your quizzes, etc.
