Moodle workshop 20 May 2025

The workshop evaluation asked faculty to respond to prompts by agreeing or disagreeing with the prompt. The responses were converted to numeric values:

  1. Strongly disagree
  2. Disagree
  3. Neutral
  4. Agree
  5. Strongly agree
Three sessions were conducted with pre-workshop titled focuses on basic training, turnitin awareness, and advanced training.

The afternoon advanced training received the highest overall average rating.

Combining the responses for all three sessions, the instructors found the sessions to be informative and responded that they will be able to apply what they have learned. 



The basic Moodle training in the morning received the highest means for being informative and applicability. The afternoon advanced session also saw high ratings on these same two metrics. Instructors found the session to be information and useful.

Comments

List two things you liked most about the sessions

  • Clear and structured 
  • Generating Quizzes and Assignments
  • I find all the information is useful.
  • How to properly used the resources folder to populate courses.
  • The first one was using the resources,  how to create file, folder, book, url etc...to be able to deliver lessons effectively.  The second, part is using the activities and the proper of utilizing quizzes, grades, questions and uploading images and activities like writing or presentations or essays on moodle using the turnitin. We looked at more activities but I am identifying two for now.

List two recommendations for improvement of the sessions

  • More advanced features
  • Let Instructors choose what training they need and split them into groups. 
  • Open up the training to the ones in need. Or build smaller groups with specific topic/training in need. Offer the training online instead of in person. 
  • How to modify fonts and add tables, etc
  • Everything prepared today was fine with me.
  • I would recommend that everyone attends and share how they use moodle effectively, and to wait until the presenters stop or end their explanations before we speak, because while I'm focusing on them, some of us are either talking or cut them off which I believe to be disrespectful as instructors or adults.

From what you know of Moodle at present, what areas should future Moodle training focus upon?

  • Outcomes, Rubrics, Competencies
  • Converting Microsoft word file saved test and submitting it on Moodle instead of creating one item once. 
  • I am able to utilize the functions on Moodle. No specific training in need. 
  • How to use Moodle's other actions on tools menu
  • Other AI tools available to use in Moodle.
  • New things.

Any other comments on the faculty workshop?

  • None
  • Please order vegetarian lunch/snack next time.  
  • None but saying thank you for the training.
  • None
  • I love it because I learned a lot!

Plotting polar coordinates in Desmos and a vector addition demonstrator

Image
In an earlier post I noted that Desmos did not directly plot polar coordinates. Not only was I incorrect, but Desmos responded to my blog to correct me! Although I had at some point seen that one could define a function f(x)=3x+5 and then have Desmos calculate f(6), I had not absorbed how this might be used to plot polar coordinates. The above works beautifully . Realizing that I could effectively program Desmos, I applied this thinking to demonstrating how to add two vectors when given the magnitudes m and the direction angles theta. The graph calculates the i and j components for the two vectors and then adds the vectors, graphically displaying the result while also providing information on the magnitude and direction of the vector sum. m1 and theta1 are the magnitude and direction angle for one of the two vectors, m2 and theta2 are the magnitude and direction for the other vector. All four are dynamically interactive and can be changed. The diagram purports to illustra...

Setting up a boxplot chart in Google Sheets with multiple boxplots on a single chart

Image
The  Google Statistics  add-on for Google Sheets can display multiple boxplots in a single chart. The key is the layout of the data. One column should be the variable by which the data is to be grouped, the other column should be the data to be box plotted. Set up the Statistics add-on with the data to be plotted as the variable, and the grouping column as the "by" variable. In this image I had deselected all but the boxplot option, the result was the appearance of the Moment, Standard errors, and Confidence intervals options. The default is apparently a 95% confidence interval for the mean. The result is multiple boxplots on a single chart with a common scale. The new tab that is created also quotes 95% confidence intervals for the mean. Note that as of 2018 the Google Statistics add-on cannot be found by search in the add-ons. In addition, as of May 2018 the add-on no longer verifies, possibly due to the add-on not having been updated since August 2017. One may ha...

Traditional food dishes of Micronesia

Image
Clara, Jennette, and Joanie presented ground hard taro cooked in an umw, effectively a hot rock oven. Pohnpeian: rotama. Pingelapese: sero. Mwoakillese: rodma. Mortlockese: Amahd. Kosrae: rodoma. After cooking in an umw the rotama is pounded with the petiole of a palm frond. Rotama is made from hard or swamp taro, known as mwahng on Pohnpei, mweian on Pingalap, pula in Mortlockese, and pahsruhk on Kosrae. In traditional times on the outer islands the women had primary responsibility for tending the taro while the men handled fishing and climbing tasks. Joesen and Noeleen presented fermented breadfruit from the outer islands of Yap such as Woleai and Eauripik. The raw ingredients were actually brought in from Yap, Noeleen prepared the maare.  The leaf wrap is ti leaf - Cordyline fruticosa. Pauleen, Barnson, Trisha, Verginia, Con-ray, and Maylanda from Kitti, Pohnpei brought in mahi umw, koahpnoair koakihr, and uht sukusuk. Above is breadfruit umw, mahi umw, o...
