EJSApp : Using Virtual and Remote Laboratories in Moodle

This presentation explores the integration of virtual and remote laboratories (VRLs) in Moodle, leveraging the EJSApp platform to enrich physics teaching and learning. It highlights the motivation behind using online courses in a collaborative environment, the functionalities of Moodle as a leading LMS, and the innovative features of EJSApp, including data management, booking systems, and collaborative sessions. The goal is to demonstrate how these tools can facilitate easy construction, deployment, and management of VRLs, ultimately enhancing the educational experience for students.

  3. 1. Motivation • Online courses (Moodle) • Experimental practices (VRLs) • Easy construction of VRLs (EJS) • Easy deployment of VRLs (EJSApp) • Easy management of VRLs (EJSApp) • Enhanced functionalities of VRLs (EJSApp) • Enhanced functionalities of online courses (EJSApp) MPTL’18 Multimedia in Physics Teaching and Learning

  4. 2. What is Moodle? • Moodle is a free open source LMS. • Supports teachers with their teaching and learners with their learning. • Integrates anything needed for a course (blocks, activities…). • It can be customized to support the needed features. • It can be used from any device (tablets, smartphones…). • More than 60 million users (Most used LMS in the world).

  6. 4. What is EJSApp? Free & open source! 4 plugins > 2700 downloads in ninemonths MoodleHatAward MPTL’18 Multimedia in Physics Teaching and Learning

  7. 5. EJSApp plugins • Coreplugin (EJSApp) • Storing data and other files (EJSApp File Browser) • ManagingtheaccesstotheRLs (EJSAppBookingSystem) • AllowingcollaborativeworkwiththeVRLs (EJSAppCollabSession) • Visitourchannel in Youtube: UNEDLabs (http://www.youtube.com/user/UNEDLabs) MPTL’18 Multimedia in Physics Teaching and Learning

  8. 5. EJSApp plugins - EJSApp • Add EJS applications to a Moodle course • Simulations or virtual laboratories • Remote laboratories • Set standard Moodle conditions for accessing these new activities • Automatic backup and restore features • Multi-language support • Personalize EJS simulations for each student • Different initial states for each EJS simulation MPTL’18 Multimedia in Physics Teaching and Learning

  9. 5. EJSApp plugins – EJSApp File Browser • Extends Moodle’s Private Files native repository • Store files saved from an EJS application integrated into Moodle by means of EJSApp • Image files • Text (data) files • State files • Load previously saved states for a particular EJS simulation MPTL’18 Multimedia in Physics Teaching and Learning

  10. 5. EJSApp plugins – EJSApp Booking System • Provides a way to manage the access to the RL resources • Students need to make a booking before they can work with the RL • Teachers have free access to the RLs • Sends e-mails to both students and teachers about the bookings and the state of the RLs • Allows teachers to control the booking rights of students over the different RLs MPTL’18 Multimedia in Physics Teaching and Learning

  11. 5. EJSApp plugins – EJSAppCollab Sessions • Real time collaboration with VRLs between two or more Moodle users • Student-student(s) • Teacher-student(s) • The session director creates the collaborative session • Selects the VRL to work with • Selects the invited users • Sends Moodle’s Ims and e-mails to the users invited to a collaborative session MPTL’18 Multimedia in Physics Teaching and Learning
