Flipping the classroom means shifting the training emphasis from delivering content to fostering discussion and collaborative learning. For an effective flipped classroom strategy, you need to provide solid resources for your students to be able to work through in their own time.
In this workshop we will explore a range of resources created for industry by the National VET eLearning Strategy. You will go hands-on with Moodle downloading and installing free resources from the national learning object repository.
We will also look at integrating content from a variety of sources into Moodle such as embedding YouTube videos and linking to content held in cloud repositories.
For a cohesive instructional approach within Moodle, we will discuss learning design principles to help you design an intuitive and inclusive online learning experience for your students.
Before you attend this workshop, note that you will need to bring a laptop-style computer as some standard Moodle file management functions do not work on Apple mobile devices. There are alternative solutions such as using Dropbox repository or the MoodlEZ iOS app, however users with laptop devices will more easily benefit from this workshop.

10. • Every time you download or make a resource,
make a new folder for it
• Good folder management is really important for
elearning!
The “new folder” rule
11. Common ZIP mistakes
Find resource
and hit
DOWNLOAD
SAVE
Do not OPEN
the file from
here!
OPEN FOLDER
and then extract
the files
13. 1. Download a Learning Object resource
2. In Moodle choose ADD AN ACTIVITY OR RESOURCE
> ADD AN IMS CONTENT PACKAGE > ADD
3. Give it a NAME and DESCRIPTION
4. CHOOSE the resource from your computer
5. UPLOAD your IMS ZIP FILE
6. SAVE AND RETURN TO COURSE
7. Click your new link
8. (DEPLOY the IMS Package –
Older Moodle versions only)
Steps: IMS Manifest to Moodle
14. Learning objects to Moodle
• Short YouTube tutorial on how to
load Toolbox Learning Objects into
your Moodle course
http://youtu.be/J5zXS-wamTA
16. Working with HTML
To edit a web page in a learning object, follow these
steps:
• Unzip the package using a program such as
WinZip.
• Open the web page you wish to edit using an
HTML editor
• Make the changes you wish to the web page and
then save it in exactly the same place it was
originally located in the learning object folders.
• Use a program such as WinZip to re-zip the
learning object.

17. • Most HTML resources
you download will have a
similar structure
• To make a link, you need
to know the start file
(also known as
the “main” or even
“root” file)
• Usually called
“index.htm”
• Or “start_here.htm”
Root files
18. Getting to know HTML
• W3Schools has a simple step-by-step tutorial
that shows you the basics of HTML structure
• With a little knowledge you can read code
enough to make changes to text, links etc.

19. eXe Project
• Free Open Source authoring application to
assist teachers and academics in publishing
web content without the need to become
proficient in HTML or XML markup.
• Export as IMS Content Package, SCORM 1.2, or
IMS Common Cartridge formats or simple self-
contained web pages.

21. IMS VS SCORM?
SCORM
• Allows integration of quiz
results with LMS
• Quiz output from
Captivate, Presenter etc.
IMS
• Packages HTML content
with built-in navigation
• Look for imsmanifest.xml
file in the folder
22. IMS VS SCORM VS TIN CAN API?
The Tin Can API (aka Experience API) is a new learning technology specification
which allows for several new capabilities that SCORM didn't, such as:
• Taking e-learning outside of the web browser
• E-learning in native mobile applications
• More control over learning content
• Platform transition (start e-learning on a mobile device, finish it on a
computer)
• The ability to track games and simulations
• The ability to track real-world performance
• Team-based e-learning
• Tracking learning plans and goals

23. VET Reload Tool
• Quick reference: VET Tools for Developing,
Packaging and Describing Content
• The VET Reload Tool can be used to create
IMS and SCORM 1.2 content packages and
corresponding VET metadata

29. Some e-learning case studies
• The National VET E-learning Strategy
funded 84 projects nationwide
• Many Elearning for
Participation and Skills
projects use Moodle in
their e-design
• Read about their projects
on our wiki space:
http://participationandskills.wikispaces.com/Current+Projects
30. Coming soon…
• Revamp to current Strategy repository
• Integration of Toolboxes and Learning Objects
in one national site
