Moodle Linking to Sugar Activities

goal

make it easy for students to upload work straight to Moodle servers

with and w/o logins?

reproduce enthusiasm found on Scratch for programming with etoys. turtle art, writing etc

students I've worked with want

lots of feedback from peers

to share their work with peers

to work on projects with friends

later they'll figure out their friends may not be the best people to work with

but best to figure that out EARLY

sharing to be easy

control over who can edit

blame trees to see who messed up a part of a larger group project

grp projects should have no more than 3 people

to have fun

building games is fun

writing is not fun unless it's Alice like then it becomes a game again

variety

structure

to be as lazy as possilbe most of the time

to feel they are smart

SHOW they are smart

nothing in Sugar really makes that easy yet

activity uploads

~~python~~

etoys etc

~~start here with a basic test prompt interface~~

speak

TA

encourage students to tell stories using speak

encourage creation of FAQs

Turtle Art

pippy

labyrinth

~~etoys etc~~

nice for mind mapping but it's clumsy

where to begin

python

why python?

Nubae knows it

hello world

nubae's pyclic?

need to know how to get pyclic into a Sugar install...

it's not in Sugar activities

http://activities.sugarlabs.org/en-US/sugar/search?q=pyclic&cat=all

it's here

http://git.sugarlabs.org/projects/pyclic

can we get pyclic into Pippy as well?

nice to get that into Pippy examples

tie the Pyclic data straight into the Moodle DB and tie THAT data into the Moodle Quiz management interface

start here with a basic test prompt interface

sample UI though far from perfect

http://docs.google.com/previewtemplate?id=0Al9mmCKTPBRYdHNtWUN2aWlEZmtnVjZSWXZRZ2trNVE&mode=public

question builder

http://docs.google.com/View?id=dhq9ft55_82f46pw9dk

New activity

quiz builder and admin

goal

students write and answer questions

teacher or expert volunteers act as editors and gate keepers

put the onus of thinking on students!

flow description

http://docs.google.com/View?id=dhq9ft55_82f46pw9dk

student writes X number of questions as determined by teacher

Question types

multiple choice =MC

short answer= SA

true/false= T/F

essay

cloze

submits questions via Python or other UI to moodle db

student is now qualified to take test

while taking test student can

see if question was student created or teacher created

this will increase interest in the question and who is the student

can suggest better answer

can suggest a better question

student scores for FITB/ SA/ MC/ Cloze can be returned immediately

short answer and essay questions can go back to teacher or back to community for further evaluation

use volunteers to help teacher grade

users

XO users

Line 89:

child security etc

fields

questions

can we pull the machine specs XO or otherswise

version of Sugar?

user ID

encourage firstname, last initial and maybe weight

IP

should tell us country and city... maybe that could be the intial log in UserID? last 3 digits of IP?

voluntary

school name

teacher name

~~questions~~

notes

~~can we pull the machine specs XO or otherswise~~

nice to have something like this

~~version~~ of ~~Sugar?~~

</code>

media wiki supports freemind mindmap files

a tool that would allow lots of users to see and build upon other ideas in real time

gobby like but with a diagramming UI

connect the dots

explode certain ideas

derive new documents from base document

annotations are date stamped and contain User ID
