Hi all, anybody could help me with some PHP programming to get graphs and statistics in real time in Moodle? I am conducting a pilot study on evaluation tools. Sending you the call if you would like to participate, it is not ready yet, almost ready, I have problems I cant solve on my own. good in ideas, very poor in programming with ideas on how to implement them with programming... these are the problems and you can either reply me in person or in the forum on teh front page> ------------------------ you need to login first to see them.. http://e-mmersion.net/ then>> http://e-mmersion.net/adeus/index.php TASK 1: #1,3,4 are reports. the user clicks the radios and when he clicks results he gets (a) graphs and (b) reports on html than can be open in excel. (this hasnt finsihed yet) TASK 2: #2 before the submit button there should be links for 3 graphs> http://e-mmersion.net/graph/drawgraph.php?id=13 http://e-mmersion.net/graph/vit-centrality.php?id=13 these come from here> http://e-mmersion.net/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=13 the results page shows the results from the questionnaire and a script gets the results from the graphs to be on html that can open in excel. the first 2 have buttons, I can make buttons for the other 2 and next to them put in text [html]. this is task 3. TASK3: if possible to get these results on a html file that can be opened in excel> http://e-mmersion.net/graph/drawgraph.php?id=13 http://e-mmersion.net/graph/vit-centrality.php?id=13 thank you very much in advance! niki INFORMATION SHEET FOR PARTICIPATION IN ONLINE LEARNING RESEARCH STUDY (The registration in the environment is this week. You will get the enrolment key after your registration, depending on your status –Greek teacher or researcher/developer-. The study will last about 10 days. During this time you can enter in the environment whenever you have time.) Dear colleague, My name is Niki Lampropoulou and I am a teacher. I belong to the Greek Education Office of Patras, Greece. I am conducting my PhD research at the Centre of Interactive Systems Engineering, London South Bank University on the subject of ¡Tools and Evaluation Methods for Online Learning Communities¢. This study is about the development of tools and evaluation techniques for Analysis, Design, Evaluation, Use and Sustainability (ADEUS) of the environment in online learning communities. It is an evaluation study of new tools in Moodle for the Greek Schools Network (GSN), under the supervision of Dr Xristine Faulkner, Professor Fintan Culwin and Mr Mike Parker. I invite you to participate in my investigation because of your special interest in online learning. In order to help you to understand what the investigation is about, I am providing you with the following information. Please make sure you understand it before you formally agree to participate. Ask any questions you have about the information which follows. I will do my best to explain and to provide any further information you require. It is the first time that tools and evaluation techniques, targeted at participation in online communities, are implemented in a large scale using the Moodle Open Source online learning management system. If the investigation is successful the tools will have the potential to be used in Moodle, as Moodle is used world wide (9,358 sites from 148 countries). The tools aim to increase participation in online learning activities anchored in collaborative discussions for problem solving. They were developed based on participants¢ suggestions on 3 previous studies as well as on socio-cultural learning and socio-technical design, both part of Human-Computer Interaction in Education. The questionnaire and the interviews (if needed to clarify vague issues in your answers) are to gather information on teachers¢ participation when they work collaboratively in problem solving activities. The questionnaire seeks information on the management of online learning communities as well as about the participation processes. Your contribution in this research is valuable. The benefits for you as a participant in the study: • Experience on adaptation in online international collaboration and networking via on-line dialogue. • Experience on building a virtual professional profile and professional relationships. • Participation in an Online Community of Practice. • Soft Skills Development: Soft skills are social/personal skills and are transferable to other environments. Soft skills using advanced technology in an online community are related to: o Online Written Communication Skills o Information Technology / Technical skills (use of communication and collaboration technologies e.g. collaborative writing and annotation tools) o Working with others o Transversal skills (e.g. organisational skills such as problem solving, communication skills, meta-competences, learning how to learn, motivating other users, knowledge management etc)  Problem Solving (coming up with good ideas, planning and organising things, finding solutions to problems). • Suggested changes can be integrated in Moodle Open Source. • Suggested changes can be integrated in the Greek National School Network. • Best practices can be disseminated in the wider communities of teachers, developers, project leaders and the academic community. The practical implementation of the above skills is connected to the following activities: • Creation, development, distribution, discovery and use of resources of knowledge, activities and processes of learning from the individual, the team or the organisation. • Development, use, control and maintenance of situated conditions. • Evaluation of faculties at a micro and macro level. • Knowledge for registration, use and distribution of personal details for individuals as well as the community. • Creation of suitable resources of learning adapted in the needs of learners/users. • Support of learners/users in order to it build the particular competencies. • Support for the learners/users in the learning process for innovative achievements. This study will enable you to see new research tools and techniques on an online learning environment. Your contribution and help will help to improve the system and in time benefit the wider community. The results will be useful for the Greek teachers¢ community and the developers of such learning systems, not only Moodle developers¢ community. If you have questions or you need more information about the study please do not hesitate to contact me prior to the investigation. The tasks for the study are: (a) Web Design Pool: If you are a Greek teacher, you are encouraged to discuss problems on web design while using the new ADEUS tools. You or one of your co-participants will have to add the final definitions in the Glossary provided, reaching consensus decision making. When in Registration, please type ¡Greek Ministry of Education¢ as the Affiliation is required. You are free to work on either Greek or English, however, we would appreciate it if you could use the English language to have a common language reference. (b) Focus Group Discussion Pool: If you are an Open Source Developer, you are encouraged to use and evaluate the new applications in Moodle. Your evaluation and assessment will determine further application changes. Data and information from your discussions and the tools might be used for reports and publications, only for research purposes. However, this data will be used anonymously. Your email will NOT be given or used for any other purpose than the research study to keep everyone¢s privacy safe. The information that will be given is confidential and will be used only for the aims of the particular research. I will be responsible for the data. Only myself and my supervisors will have access to data. The results and conclusions of the study will be available to you personally and the community on completion. The final report will be distributed to the involving communities with the conclusions of the study. Your help can be acknowledged if you wish. This investigation has been approved by the London South Bank University Research Ethics Committee for the period of the investigation (until 07 April 2006). You can access the research pool in your own convenience any time you want for the duration of the study. You do not have to participate in this study and may withdraw from the study at any time without giving a reason for withdrawing.
