the other day I was joking when I said that I am
neither a tutor or a developer.
actually I am both, working within HCI frames. I just
wanted to show you that there is another point of view
in the story... so I have 4 classes in Moodle and
among other things, I developed a chatbot in PHP based
on open source. This sets intentions to the learners
via argumentation techniques.
good ideas exist and we can take them further if we
collaborate with the people who actually sell us these
systems...
Best regards,
niki
PS excellent topic 'The best thing that I've done with
a VLE is..'
