2. Deploying in Glue!PS from Web Collage
(1/4)
 There are two designs
configured in Web Collage to
be deployed in Moodle
– User: educator
– Design names: <...> - Version
to deploy with GluePS
– Participants and tools already
selected from the VLE in Web
Collage

3. Deploying in Glue!PS from Web Collage
(2/4)
 Click on “Deploy in Glue!PS” and a new Tab should be
opened
– That’s Glue!PS (you can switch to English if you want)
 Glue!PS is a different tool than Web Collage…
– But when invoked from Web Collage, part of the data that Glue!PS
needs is automatically transferred from one tool to the other
 That’s why Glue!PS takes us straight to step 3 (Tools Types)

4. Deploying in Glue!PS from Web Collage
(3/4)
 Glue!PS step 3 allows us to modify which tool to use
in each activity
– In this case, you can skip this step and proceed to step 4
 Click “Next” (bottom of the page)
 Glue!PS step 4 allows us to indicate whether we want
participants in an activity to “reuse” a tool (and its
contents) that was used in a previous activity (see
next slides)

5. Deploying in Glue!PS from Web Collage
(4/4)
 Reusing presentations by the whole class
– According to the design, supergroups’ presentations should be
presented to the whole class
– Locate “Presenting final results to the whole class” in the activity
tree and configure which “tools instances” to reuse (see how the
configuration should look like)
 You don’t need to modify anything else in this step
 Please, click the “Next” button

6. Glue!PS: Generating a course in Moodle
(1/2)
 Click “Generate Course” button and wait some minutes
while
– Glue!PS contacts Glue! to request the creation and configuration
of all the tools instances needed (8 Dabbleboard whiteboards, 6
Google Documents, 2 Google Presentations)
– Glue!PS generates a Moodle backup file with all the information
required to be provided to Moodle to create the course

7. Glue!PS: Generating a course in Moodle
(2/2)
 Once the Moodle “Course” has been generated, download
it to your computer

8. Access the course deployed in Moodle
1. Go to http://www.gsic.uva.es/glue/moodle/ and
enter your login/password
– Login: educator
– Ask for the password!
2. Select course “OEB 2011- Course for testing”
– This should be an empty course
– Students have been previously enrolled to facilitate your
work
 There are already configured two courses with the designs of the
hands on:
OEB 2011 - LD A - Programming network software
OEB 2011 - LD B - Estimation and adaptive processing

9. Restore the generated “course” in
Moodle (1/2)
1. In the “Administration”
block, click on “Restore”
2. Upload the file with the
“Course” generated by
Glue!PS
3. “Restore” the “Course” of
the uploaded file

10. Restore the generated “course” in
Moodle (2/2)
1. Follow the steps shown by Moodle
– … and when prompted about how to restore the course,
select
 Current course, deleting it first
– You don’t need to modify/configure anything else
2. And the new “course”
is created in Moodle!!!
– Log out as “educator” and
log in as one of the
students (student_a11,
student_a12, …) to “play”
with the result
 Ask for the passwords
