The AUE team at the OU are using the wonderful @w3c_wai curricula to train our developers. Today we had lots of great discussion about the hows, whats, and whys of image use and alt text (using an image of our very own VC @TimJBlackman as the basis for an activity!)

It looks like you’re trying to find a creative marketing angle for your disappointing NSS results. Would you like me to start?

Myself and some co-conspirators are planning big changes to the #Moodle Question Bank.
However, we are not very good at the whole conspiracy thing. We are posting about our plans in this forum thread moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss…
Lots more to come.
Feedback please. @moodledev

Today marks 50 years since the first OU courses were launched 🚀 - kicking-off at 11am in 1971 with the very first 'Open Forum' programme on @BBCTwo.
⁉️ Question - what were those first 4 courses?

We monitor the overall activity of our students in our VLE. Students that are not interacting with it as expected may be a cause of concern. We also investigate usage of specific tools and contents in order to confirm students are engaging (frequency/timing) as planned. #A4A

You're not going to get your learners to engage in your activities unless you've fostered a relationship with them! Great advice from @moodlefairy #MootGlobal20

Senior lecturer in sustainable design Derek Jones from @designopenuni has put together some notes teaching during the #PivotToOnline. Got comments? Feedback is welcome! xitter.cf/OU_FASS/status/1244722…
Are you a lecturer trying to shift to online teaching? We've done this for a while. Derek Jones has some in depth help with Distance and online design education – a (not so) quick introduction.

Hello all! We'll be having the first (of many I hope!) daily 30 minute online sessions for all Moodlers, new and old, to get together and talk about teaching with Moodle!
