1. Introduction

The Kyushu University Faculty of Arts and

Science aims for the “development and

introduction of teaching portfolios,” with the

purpose of improving education by sharing

practical knowledge at the Faculty of Arts and

Science, through Enhanced Education Program

(EEP) initiatives. The Faculty will share digital

teaching materials used at the Faculty of Arts

and Science, integrate browsing histories and

e-learning systems information from those pages,

create educational big data, and plan to create

detailed educational and learning support. This

was selected by the National Institute of

Information and Communications Technology

(NICT)’s 2014 “Research and Development of

Social Big Data Use, Application, and Basic

Technology.”

This document will explain the e-learning

system Moodle, the e-portfolio system Mahara,

and the digital material distribution system

BookLooper, which are used in these projects.

The learning environment encompassing all

three of these systems is called M2B (Mitsuba).

1.1 Moodle e-Learning System

The Moodle system is used as a computer-based

learning support system (e-learning system). A

Moodle course is created for each lecture course,

and attendance, quizzes, distribution of

materials, submission of reports, surveys, and

other materials are handled digitally on Moodle.

1.2 Mahara e-Learning Portfolio

System

The Mahara system is used for digitally storing

evidence of the process of daily learning and

education. For example, instructors can use it as

a teaching portfolio for revising teaching

materials, recording things they noticed about

the lecture in the class log, and improving their

classes. Students can use it as a learning

portfolio by writing in the class log and

reflecting on lecture contents, leading to

improved interest in learning and improved

teaching for instructors.

1.3 BookRoll Digital Material

Distribution System

BookRoll is a system used by the university to

distribute digital versions of course materials

(pdf files) for use during lectures. With lecture

notes available ahead of time on BookRoll, they

can be used during lectures as well as to prepare

and to revise. They can also be utilized as a tool

to improve course materials. Furthermore, a

record of the use of these notes by students can

be made and, via a link with Moodle, the

accumulated data can be used to visually

represent in graph form the overall average

trends in viewing the notes and the sections

that tend to be highlighted.

1.4 Agreement for Participation in

Planning of “Research on the Measurement and Analysis of Student

Learning Activities”

When using the M2B (Mitsuba) system, notify

students to submit the agreement for

participation in the planning of “M2B システムを

用いた学習活動の分析に関する研究」への参画に関す

る同意書”

This agreement only needs to be turned in one

time per person. Students who have already

submitted the agreement in another course do

not need to submit it again.

Instructors should also submit one agreement

per person (not one for every course).

Agreement forms can be submitted from a link

on the top page of the Moodle system

(https://moodle.kyushu-u.ac.jp/).

https://moodle.kyushu-u.ac.jp/
