Description

What is troubling us with Moodle and why it is crucial for NRENs to collaborate on developing customized solution/s

The need for quickly scalable LMS infrastructure was on many NRENs agenda last year, and continues to be. In addition, NRENs face specific needs for Moodle deployment ranging from central to local administration, migration of existing courses into a new solution or availability of specific plugins, to name just a few.

The possibility of developing common solution that would meet specific needs of different NRENs’, and in the same time use benefits of collaborative development, administration and future maintenance between NRENs is a challenge that we would like to address in the next TF-EDU session. The session will be hosted by CARNET Moodle team, with the support of partnering NRENs (TBA).

Working from the Up2U Application Toolbox (a set of interoperable and integrated services for education and research that include LMS, video conferencing, Jupyter Notebookfile sync&share, etc) in which basic customisations, and out-of-the-box & one-size-fits-all package is available, we are proposing additional steps.

In this session we will discuss how to work together in addressing specific needs of different NRENs’, including:

  • customizations already developed by NRENs 
  • existing user data.
  • automatic course creation (so the administrators don't need to do this)
  • creating categories for each institution in which local administrator can open courses
  • migration of existing courses into a new solution
  • availability of specific plugins and users (e.g. Dyslexic mod).
