Two models

Single shared site – Learning on the Loop hosting 3+ schools (http://learningon.theloop.school.nz)

Moodle Networking (Mnet) – NMIT Online networked with multiple Moodle/Mahara sites (http://ecampus.nmit.ac.nz)

Page 3: Sharing your Moodle - Moodle (mini) Moot

Learning on the Loop

• Established 2007 to support The Loop• Taster/collaboration site, relationships,

potential bridging to NMIT• Cheap LMS solution (share hosting costs)• 3 schools using as LMS, 2 more

considering• Approx 400 courses, 600+ active users

Page 4: Sharing your Moodle - Moodle (mini) Moot

How it works

• Established usage policies• Implementation, admin & support• Create categories for each school• Single contact & category manager role• Account creation (manual, Loop SQL export),

MoE MLE project sponsoring SSO pilot• Theming, home page & myMoodle• Course enrolments – enrolments keys

Issues

• Navigation expectations• User management• Enrolment process• Lack of collaborative initiatives• Differing expectations for site wide settings• Costs of adding 3rd party modules and

major version upgrades

Page 6: Sharing your Moodle - Moodle (mini) Moot

Future

• More schools & increase collaboration, exchange and inter-school PD/support

• Add other features (SMS linking, bulk enrolments)

• Link with other services (ePortfolio, repositories, Individual learning plans)

• Become a regional hub for independent Moodle sites

Page 7: Sharing your Moodle - Moodle (mini) Moot

NMIT Online

• Small polytechnic, using since 2005• Approx 350 active courses;

– 210 web supported– 48 web enhanced– 38 fully online

• 1700 active users in 2010• Restructuring for 2011, including shedding

qualifications

Creating a Flexible eLearning Network

Page 10: Sharing your Moodle - Moodle (mini) Moot

Mnet overview• Allows sites to share authenticated users• Controls who can roam between sites and

what theme they see, share logs• Publish selected courses for enrolment• Local site enrols users on remote courses

as students, one by one*• Local site cannot assign users to other

roles on remote courses*
