so that
• You can join in and join up no matter where you are at (personally, school-wise)

Objective of the MLE activity
• To design and promote an– educationally relevant– open– modular– standards-based– sustainable
approach to the development and use of MLE for (NZ) schools
Key work strands – what do you want me to major on?
• Attendance management • ENROL Integration• Online systems / LMS / Parent Portals• E-portfolios• Reusable and portable content• Identity and access management (or single sign-on)• Assessment (including National Standards) *
* Will not cover today
Attendance management
• How many of you are using electronic attendance registers?
• How many of you have signed up for the 12 months fee-free early notification?
• Of the 22 Nelson schools:
– 10 are eAR approved– 6 are eligible for the EN subsidy– 2 have subsidised EN
Integration and interoperability
• The challenge is getting all the parts joined up
• Of the 22 Nelson schools how many use their SMS to:
– Do eReturns?– Get/Check NSN?– Update ENROL?
• What can we do to make this work better or for more of you?
Online systems / LMS / parent portals
• Uptake subsidies now available many schools
• Working with eTAP (eTAP), Edtech (Ultranet) and Dataview (KnowledgeNET and Moodle)
• Rapid over-subscription of primary quota but secondary okay
• Intention is to assist 200-300 schools per year
• Check out the SMS – LMS Group to learn more
• But how do you choose?
Online systems / LMS / parent portals cont.
• Does your strategic direction include technology?
• Does your technology needs include a LMS?
• Document your needs and your wants
• Review options and what others around you are doing
• The value in sharing an LMS with another/other schools
• Remember the people aspect of change management, including leadership buy-in and shared ownership
• And yes, you can obtain many/all the benefits without an LMS (by using other tools) – the decision is your
E-portfolios
• And we have been busy and have much on the go– Guidelines for and by schools (Ian has started)– Case studies together with JISC (Starting 9/9/10)– Mahara or MyPortfolio
• Investment in usability (Started)• Scoping integration with LMS (Starting 9/9/10)• Taster sessions (Taking requests now)• Finding other partners/backers within the Ministry (Ongoing)
• My conviction is that this is probably the most important part of our current work (therefore have started my own school and portfolio)
Reusable and portable content
• The LMS usually has some type of editor that enables the user to layout text without any knowledge of HTML, add graphics and make links
• But it is difficult to share content between school, take it with you or use it in an application other than in which it was created
• Our focus is to break the dependency between the content and the LMS
Reusable and portable content or Open education resources
• Example of:– Content authored locally can be
automatically converted to wiki format on upload in odt or (soon) from MS Word to a wiki-friendly format
•Content authored in WikiEducator is now available in different run-time environments, as a book and as an editable document
• And still working to improve the– Describing content using education metadata and/or tagging– Discovery of content by searching DigitalNZ from an LMS– Location and performance of rich media for embedding
Identity and Access Management
• How many credential sets do you have for your professional/work activity?
• What value would you place on having fewer, that grant access to most key services/sites/applications, and worked from school and from home?
• Hope is on the way– Local story/demo of SSO (Is anyone willing?)– List of SAML services
• And more good stuff is coming with the User Directory Interface and Identity Data Extract
Musings
• Pre-conditions for successful implementation of (e, b or d) -learning tools and benefits of school-wide use
• Importance of community• E-portfolios: Contribute to what tools should be integrated and how we
together build capacity• LMS: Do you really need one?• I am reading blogs and groups on learning analytics• So what are you going to do next?• And while I am here what questions (or messages) do you have for
me?
