Importing IMS packages into Moodle

Posted on January 19, 2011 by corney

After having the site go live three days ago I have been trying to import all my Studywiz resources into the Moodle site. When the Studywiz trainer was at our school, the line was “Of course you can export to other VLE’s – our stuff is SCORM compliant”.

Well so far,

  • Tried ‘Add IMS Package Contents’, upload the zipped file export from Studywiz as an IMS package, save the resource and……
  • Tried Add an activity-> SCORM package, upload file and….

“This XML file does not appear to have any style information associated with it. The document tree is shown below.”

I have downloaded SCORM packages from other sites (OpenLearn, JSH Education) that work fine – if only I could get me own stuff to work…..

IB job-a-like

Posted on January 15, 2011 by corney

What a way to start the weekend – on a bus with a load of teachers.  Off to SCIS across the city to get together with other IB teachers in Shanghai.  The first session was with ITGS teachers.  I haven’t taught this course but it seems to be similar to the IGCSE course with a real focus on the social implications of ICT. It was great to chat to 3 other teachers and share resources.  I came away with the following links and a heap of ICT based movies.

Next session was based on TOK.  Not really that useful – as there were 40 + teachers it was set up as a Q & A session. But again, a few useful links:

The organisers created a wikispace to share resources – a great idea!

Objective or Outcome – is there a difference?

Posted on January 14, 2011 by corney

Today I went to a session hosted by a trainer from the Institute of Education.  The Dulwich group of schools uses this organisation for PD and this week there were sessions for a range of people in a range of places.  The short session this morning was tied to one of our principles of Learning and Teacher – Purpose for learning.

We spent the first part going of the difference between a learning outcome and a learning objective. For me, an outcome is just a more specific objective.
