ムードルを用いたラーニングアナリティクスの研究と実践

GIGAスクール構想やコロナ禍の影響により、教育のICT化が急激に進展し、ラーニングアナリティクス（教育データ活用）の土台が整いつつあります。本発表では、ムードルを用いた、ラーニングアナリティクスの情報基盤システムであるLEAFシステムの概要をのべ、それを用いた初等中等教育、及び高等教育での研究事例について発表します。さらに、ウイズ・ポストコロナ時代の教育においては、どのような研究課題に取り組む必要があるかを議論します。

Moodle and MAJ: an Expanding Road from the Past to the Future

It's been 22 years since Moodle was born and 18 years since I first used it. The Moodle Association of Japan (MAJ) has been in existence for 11 years. As the founding president of the MAJ, I would like to look back with the audience on how the MAJ came to be and to remind ourselves of its original purpose. I also reexamine the research and development that I and the other members of the MAJ have done, and think about how that might contribute to the future of Moodle. I will finally present my personal predictions for the future of Moodle and the expansion of MAJ.

Crafting Hackerspaces with Moodle and Mahara: The Potential of Creation-based Learning

Moodle is a familiar platform to many educators but making Moodle-supported online learning a student-centered active learning journey is not so familiar as a teaching practice. Japan’s adoption of educational technology (edtech) in the classroom has been slower than other developed countries, and as a result many Japanese teachers are underprepared to use edtech in their teaching. Hence there is a necessity to introduce simple and easy-to-follow educational approaches for teachers to experiment with offering active learning experiences in Moodle online classrooms. Creation-based learning (CBL) is an educational approach that aims to scaffold online active learning. Together with its associated instructional design model "CLEAR" the approach offers a promising pedagogical foundation for crafting online hackerspaces, where teachers use "creation" as a teaching tool in Moodle, and students deliver their "creations" as learning output in Mahara. Combining such pedagogical considerations and technical capabilities is a powerful way for educators to improve their online classrooms with hackerspaces in Moodle and Mahara.
