2010-11 Moodle Statistics
From RSCWMWiki
Introduction
Many learning providers in the region use Moodle as their virtual learning environment (VLE). How does one measure the impact of Moodle on the learner’s experience? A good place to start would be to evaluate how much Moodle is actually being used.
Moodle maintains logs of all its activity, and if statistics are enabled, reports on activity can be produced. While useful, the Moodle statistics utility is somewhat limited, and not very user-friendly.
Project Scope and Overview
Phase 1
To assist learning providers in measuring the impact of Moodle, the RSC West Midlands has launched a project where we will work with learning providers to develop a bespoke Moodle statistics reporting application customised to their environment.
The duration of the project is three months. The project activities include:
- An on-site requirements analysis meeting at the start of the project.
- An (optional) on-site or remote meeting to review progress.
- An on-site project hand over exercise, which will include up to 3-hours support and user training
The project deliverables will be a working Moodle statistics reporting application including source code, together with end-user, technical and design documents. After the project ends, support and modification of the reporting application will be the responsibilty of the learning provider.
Moodle Stats design and development - Phase 1 - is over.
Phase 2
Learning providers will be given the following in either physical or electronic format:
- Moodle Stats application
- Sample data
- Deployment instructions
- User documentation
- Design documentation
Participation Requirements
All RSC supported learning providers in the West Midlands are eligible to participate. Please contact Colleen Romero by e-mail (colleen.romero@rsc-wm.ac.uk) for more information or to request a copy of Moodle Stats.
