Moodle AI Plugins

 26. september 2024 | Presented by Gordon D. Bateson (Kochi University of Technology) & Marcus Green (Catalyst IT)

Language: English
Level: Intermediate
Learning pathway: General

 View on YouTube       View in course

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 utilize 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.

 


How computer-marked quizzes can best help students learn

In this webinar we 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.

This webinar covers the process that a plugin goes through when a developer submits their plugin to the Plugins directory, the checks that the plugin goes through, common mistakes made by plugin developers and what you can do to prepare your plugin for review. We will also cover how you can contribute to the review process by testing and reviewing other contributions to the Plugins directory.
