I have the symptoms of Gilles de Tourettes, which means bouts of quite severe tics. This started when I was 45 and I am now 65. It has never stopped feeling strange and simultaneously quite interesting.
I was at #MootGlobal25 in Edinborough last week for three days. I only went to two of the many sessions, partly because I am likely to start to tic which I find distracting and annoying. Instead I spent my time on the #CatalystEU stand chatting to all and sundry which was absolutely delightful.
Special Release Announcement for #Moodle LMS
https://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=464421&parent=1864416
"The #Quiz and Question Bank in Moodle Project Team and Moodle are proud to announce the release of a special new version of Moodle LMS, Moodle LMS 4.6. ....
and the technical prowess of engineers at both Catalyst AU & ** Catalyst UK ** over the last 4 years. ...."
I work for #catalysteu and the people involved are some of the smartest around. I am incredibley proud of their work.
A seasonable contribution to the world of automated #Maths quiz question evaluation as part of the #catalysteu #Moodle #STACK offering.
Influence mongers are one of my favourite types of mongers. I like fishmongers, ironmongers and cheese mongers, but a skilled well intentioned Influence monger is a joy. (By the way I despise war mongers).
To upskill my influence mongering abilities I approached people at #MootJapan24 with #CatalystEU stickers asking if they would pose for a photo with them on their laptop cases, nobody declined. Here is #Moodle wizard Thom Rawson, one of the Moot organisers being mongered.
It has been designed to be extensible to any resource that can have standard restrictions. It actually has support for Assignments but it is hidden by CSS as delivering the additional functionality would require additional time and testing.
I would be delighted if anyone is willing to extend it or create pulls, or approach my employers #CatalystEU for additional development.
Stop using SCORM
I first used #SCORM around 2005 and my initial excitement faded quickly to dissapointment.
Dan Marsden has been a global SCORM expert for over a decade. But he now suggests people should stop publishing new SCORM content. Read about it here

If you are a Moodle administrator and ever ask yourself “What are people actually doing on our Moodle”, this report might help.
https://moodle.org/plugins/report_modstats
It shows a graph that breaks down the usage of the activity modules. It could be useful for working out if there are training requirements. For example if 90% of modules are assignment you might want to put some training in place for other activities such as quiz.
