Presentation abstract 発表内容
2007年3月にMoodle1.8が公開されてから6年が経過した．その1年後のMoodle1.9の公開を経て，2年前の2010年11月末に大幅に機能が改良されたMoodle2.0が公開された．本講演では過去5年間のMoodleの機能上の変化と国内でのMoodleの利用状況の変化について振り返り，さらに今後の5年間でMoodleにどのような変化が望まれるのかを機能，利用方法，用途について予測する．以前はパーソナルコンピュータ中心であったコンピュータ環境は，スマートフォンやタブレット端末が爆発的に普及するなど大きく変化した．加えて日本国内では高性能な携帯電話が広く普及していた特殊事情もある．一方，Moodleは主に大学等の高等教育機関を中心に用いられてきたが，行政機関や民間企業での活用も広がり始めている．高校，中学校，小学校では電子教科書や電子黒板などのICT機器とデジタルコンテンツの活用が予想される．中学校でもコンピュータプログラミングの学習が必履修化するなど，大学以外にもMoodleの有効活用が期待されるフィールドは広がりつつある．私自身は未来を予測できる能力は無い．moodle.orgなどで広く意見や情報を集め，報告する．
Six years have past since Moodle 1.8 was released in March, 2007. One year later, Moodle 1.9 came out, followed by Moodle 2.0 in November, 2010, which included many new and enhanced functions. In this keynote, the speaker will review major changes in Moodle functionality and its popularity in Japan over the last five years. At the same time, he will infer what changes in Moodle functionality, usability, and purposes might take place during the next five years. Our computer environment has dramatically changed from having desktop computers to carrying smart phones and tablet PCs. Moreover, Japan has a history of developing highly functional Keitai cellphones. In the meantime, Moodle has been mainly used in higher education systems such as universities. It is, however, spreading gradually among administrative offices and corporations. In elementary and secondary schools, digital textbooks and electronic blackboards will be combined with digital learning contents and put into use more and more. Learning computer programing has become obligated in junior high schools, which will open doors to more use of Moodle in secondary schools. The speaker does not have the power to foresee our future. He will thus report what he has learned from the wide-range of opinions posted on forums such as moodle.org.
