I have just found this really useful #moodle plugin: moodle.org/plugins/loca... once set up users can bookmark pages within their courses, or add notes to pages.

Quality learning design, appears to be a dying skill

In my younger days, I made my mark in education as an innovator and trailblazer in the World of Learning technology, and often clashed with the opinions of the more senior, experienced educators, who I saw as holding education back. So I…

And of course - bad jokes are always a winner

No messing around, straight into something useful that people could take away and use, and not a sales pitch, like the others.

Best session by far today at #MootGlobal25 was by Gavin from @brickfield.bsky.social #Moodle

Attending #MootGlobal25 #moodle

On Tue 29 April I am presenting at the (free) #Moodle Munch on how the excellent FilterCodes and Generico plugins can be used together to do some really clever things. I hadn't come across Generico until recently, but now that I have, the options are amazing.

I have signed up for the #moodle #MootGlobal25 in Edinburgh, really looking forward to going - will hopefully be selected to present something.

I think the discovery of the excellent filter codes plugin: moodle.org/plugins/filt... closely followed by the Grade Me plugin; moodle.org/plugins/bloc...

This is a really good article and one that is very pertinent. a couple of my clients are currently grappling with this issue - but it is really tricky, as it doesn't seem to be clear where something stops being a digital asset, and starts being a taught course.

A sustainable way to provide multi-lingual #Moodle courses

In my last post, I presented the argument for providing properly translated content, and in a post from a few months ago I listed a few ways that this can be achieved, detailing the advantages and disadvantages of each method. From that…

I am using Bluesky to try and recreate the early days of 'the other' platform - e.g. when it was good, and it felt like I was interacting with real people (most of whom I knew) rather than corporate accounts, advertising and general rubbish, #ALTM25

Why there is still a need to properly translate #Moodle based learning content

I support various global organisations with their Moodle based online provision, and as such many have a need to offer their courses in multiple languages. For over 10 years I have battled to find a way to effectively…

MoodleMoot Global 2025 - Moodle MoodleMoot Global is our annual in-person event where Moodle enthusiasts come together and collaborate, and learn from each other. You won't want to miss out!

The #MoodleMoot Global 2025 has been confirmed as 16-18 September in Edinburgh. moodle.com/events/mootg...

Trying to use AI to create video caption files in different languages for YouTube. At first I was impressed when I did this with 1 file, but now that I am trying to do this with 16 files, it is getting very confused - it keeps returning English files instead of Spanish, or losing the timestamps

thanks for the correction - the host company did come up with a different license amount which was slightly less, but still prohibitive. they told us this was a very special offer they had negotiated with HQ....

Switching from Moodle Workplace to Moodle LMS

This post is a reflection on the process that I’ve been through where we have moved from Moodle Workplace to Moodle LMS and by sharing some of the experiences with you here, will help anybody else trying to do a similar thing. One of the organisations…

in the process of working through the scouts new online inclusivity training course, which has been created in a totally inaccessible, awful scorm package....

Yesterday I came off my road bike at high speed - luckily I managed to get away with relatively minor injuries (broken elbow) - so 1 handed typing for me for a bit, although will see how narration works as an alternative.

I'm excited to share something I've been working on... Moodle Registration Rules - a new plugin designed to help Moodle admins reduce spam registrations and improve security without relying solely on reCAPTCHA.

And if anyone is interested in Generico Filters and Filter Codes, I am presenting about this in April’s #Moodle Munch www.dcu.ie/moodlemunch

I am really starting to get into the excellent #Moodle Generico Filter - moodle.org/plugins/filt..., which when used in combination with moodle.org/plugins/filt... can do some really clever things - I can create very personalised elements within courses en masse

So what I am trying to do is work out why the one that is working is doing what it does, so I can do the same to the other one. The settings in the profile are identical (apart from different name, and options etc). It has totally confuddled me

In general the profile fields that are on the sign up page, appear in the table, the ones that aren't don't (which I guess is an expected behaviour) - but I have one field that is not on the sign up page, that is populating and an identical one that isn't.

screenshot of the settings applied to the user profile field

The fields are NOT set to appear on the sign up page (and must not be). However, one of the fields populates, and the other one doesn't - these are the settings.

#Moodle peeps: I have 2 user profile fields (with same settings), both drop down lists, with a default value set. neither appear on the user facing new account page. When a user creates an account, 1 of the fields gets populated in user_info_data but the other doesn't. Any ideas?

Really excited that MoodleMoot this year is in UK. Never been to one before

Yup really odd! The fact that the invoices were correct, the money would have balanced at both ends (otherwise I would have spotted it), it was just an error at their end updating their internal ledgers - this is a major global org, so not sure why they are sifting through stuff this far back

Just had a client from over 2 years ago email me claiming they had paid me twice for a piece of work. They didn't double pay me, I just submitted 2 invoices in quick succession. Curious as to what has triggered something their end to spot this after all this time
