How we improve LRC assistants’ and tutors’ visibility using name tags
2012/01/05
Leave a comment
- We posted name tag holders on lanyards at the bulletin board behind the reception desk.
- When you come in, take one, insert your student id card, and wear it during your shift.
- At the end of your shift, do not forget to return the name tag holders to the bulletin board for the next LRC assistant/tutor.

Sharing and reusing Moodle learning content using backup and restore, part III: Shared intermediate courses
2012/01/03

- You can facilitate the sharing process if you link source and destination Moodle courses via a Moodle course that is itself shared between the teachers (= all teachers can backup from or restore/import into this shared course), but not to students.
- By backing up to and restoring from such a shared Moodle course, you can more easily inspect the shared course content than
- if you’d import into the destination course to inspect,
- or either inspect the unzipped XML of the Moodle course backed-up content format, like here:
- which can be a daunting perspective on your content:
- A little more instructive are the Moodle course export file columns in a handy list, with sample content (where available in our case – sample content does not represent an actual “row”, but merges multiple “rows”, using Excel’s “Paste Special’/ “Skip blanks”):
- As you can see, there are fewer than 254 column (meaning you can even load this into Excel <2007), and apparently you get to actual teaching content already on nesting level 3.

Language tutoring support in the LRC
2011/12/20
Leave a comment
- New and improved as of Spring 2012: We now have 2 computerized small group work spaces for tutoring groups.
- An effective computerized help desk
- A live CAE tutor calendar display. This will help the time zone-challenged students until all students are put into the right time zone in NINERMAIL (or self-help). At that point all students will be able to load the tutor calendar of their choice in NINERMAIL. The tutor calendar has also “LRC” in the title – this way students always are reminded WHERE the tutoring is. We are also working on getting small group workspaces set up in the entrance library area to the left.
- Improved tutor signage
- A variety of non-computerized tutoring workspaces
- A variety of computerized tutoring workspaces that allow the tutoring to share with other uses of the LRC.
- As listed in this view when you enter the LRC:
