„Every Year Again“… comes the RWTHmoodle user survey
„Year After Year” is the beginning of one of the most famous German Christmas carols of today. The RWTHmoodle team also calls it “Every Year Again”. But we don’t have the Baby-Christ coming down on earth like in the carol, we furthermore give the users of RWTHmoodle the opportunity to evaluate the system and the services associated with it.
Winter is Coming… and With it Completely New Possibilities: The New Plugins in RWTHmoodle
Yesterday we enjoyed 30 degrees in the sun, but now the first gingerbread is smiling at us in the supermarket. An unmistakable sign that we have arrived in the semester with the word “winter”. It is high time to replenish our own stock of thick socks (keyword: brace yourself). But besides cold and darkness, the winter semester has a lot of great new possibilities to offer, like our three new plugins in RWTHmoodle!
More possibilities for tutors – the new role “tutor” in RWTHmoodle!
They compile page after page of literature lists, sore their fingers on correcting assignments and tirelessly answer all (!) questions from students. It is high time to pay tribute to our many tutors at RWTH! They make a huge contribution to ensuring that teaching works during the digital semester. In order for them to be able to make this great effort, however, they first have to get the necessary permissions. We from the RWTHmoodle teaching and learning platform have improved the role “tutor” in the RWTHmoodle course rooms and added more individual settings here.
RWTHmoodle in Motion – New Plugins in the Pilot Phase in the Winter Semester 2020/21
While the philosopher Heraclitus already knew that everything flows, RWTHmoodle proves us once again that this insight is true. Like a river, our learning platform is always in motion and constantly evolving. Our plug-ins in pilot operation make an important contribution to this. Each semester we test several plugins directly in selected course rooms and – after a successful pilot phase – we include them in our RWTHmoodle system.
Like a Breath of Fresh Air… in September
At least for RWTHmoodle this is the case, because the first big update this year is coming. RWTHmoodle will be updated to Moodle version 3.9, including some minor and major changes. Improvements in accessibility, the widely used e-tests and the selection dialog when adding activities are just as much a part of this as minor adjustments to the forum, the grading of assignments and the question collection.
The exact date for the update to version 3.9 is 09.23.2020.
