Attention lecturers and course room managers: Plugins for RWTHmoodle will once again be available for testing this semester. This time, the Sharing Cart and Learning Map plugins will be available.

Sharing Cart

Sharing Cart offers a simple and intuitive alternative to course import in RWTHmoodle While the traditional course import requires several clicks, Sharing Cart appears as a block on the right-hand side of the course room for managers. Individual activities, materials, or entire sections can be added to a clipboard with a single click on the shopping cart icon and then inserted into another learning space. Please note, however, that Opencast videos cannot be copied even with Sharing Cart. As with course import, these must be re-uploaded and embedded in the destination course. This step is essential, as the videos will otherwise not play in the destination course.

Learning Map

As the plugin’s name suggests, the learning map is an activity designed to gamify learning content. The individual stations along a learning path can be visually represented and linked together. Each station corresponds to a different Moodle activity that must be completed in order to achieve the learning path’s objective.

Plugin Presentation Sessions and Testing Opportunities

In April, the Center for Academic Teaching and Learning ExAcT (Excellent Academic Teaching) will host two informational sessions to present new plugins (german only) in RWTHmoodle. These one-hour sessions will showcase specific ways to use these new plugins.

Want to try out these plugins in one or more of the learning spaces you supervise? Then feel free to contact the IT-ServiceDesk, regardless of whether you attended one of the info presentations.
