Disclaimer, I work for Catalyst-EU part of the Catalyst group. However one of the reasons I wanted to work for them was their commitment to Free Libre and Open Source software. This blog post explains their approach. I really don't like the graphic that has been used.

The #Moodle #STACK question type is the most powerful and flexible #Maths related #quiz question type available free or paid for.

However installing it can be a challenge. The latest version has added improved error messages which I have seen as part of evaluating the latest release

Post at Moodle.org about gamifiction

"Duolingo’s goal isn’t to turn anyone bilingual, but to get the user to open the app tomorrow, and the day after, and the next... In the end, did it teach a language-or did it teach you not to lose the game? "

I quickly came to despise the gamification aspect and passive aggressive nagging and stopped using it.

#statstab #459 Getting Comfortable with Expressing Beliefs as Distributions

Thoughts: Bayesian stats requires a good understanding of priors, but these are often unintuitive. Plots help.

#Moodle ER Diagrams for 5.1

My 21 year /rest of life mission...

I have updated https://examulator.com/er to cover Moodle database structure for 5.1.

It includes information that is not contained in the source code, including table and field comments. It also includes links to useful queries at moodle.org. See this table https://www.examulator.com/er/output/tables/quiz.html

If you scroll to the bottom of each page you will see an er diagram showing the relationships with other tables.

I was ego surfing Youtube recently and came across my presentation to #MoodleMootIEUK2016 about upgrading plugins for a new version of Moodle. The advice I give is generally still relevant.
