Demonstration video: How to create CHiLO Book

 


1. Add badges

You can assess the status of the learning outcomes of CHiLO Books from the Moodle digital badges.

The badge issued for each CHiLO Book is called a "small badge", and the badge issued after earning all the badges of the series or badges of specified CHiLO Books is called a "big badge".

 

1) Decide the way of assessment.

Moodle badges will be issued when the activity module is completed, which means; achieving passing scores in the Quiz activity module, handing in reports in the Assignment activity module, or posting messages in the Forum activity module. To activate the activity module, there is a need to set the Completion tracking to "ON" on each activity module. But first of all, decide the activity module that best fits the CHiLO Book you are creating.

 

2) Add activity module

After deciding the activity module, create a course in Moodle, then add the activity module. You can specify the conditions for issuing the badge by adding multiple activity modules but it is only valid for one CHiLO Book for one Moodle course is equivalent to one CHiLO Book.


3) Setting of badge issuing

The small badge is equivalent to the course badge issued in Moodle. As for the big badge, equivalent to the site badge of Moodle.

To learn more about Moodle course badge, and site badge, click the following URL:

 

4) Save the URL of the created activity module

There is a need to enter the URL of the created activity module on to the CHiLO Producer Spreadsheet which is to be explained later on, so save the URL of the view page of the activity module.

 

View page URL is the URL which includes "view.php" as in [http://xxx.xxx.xx/mod/xxx/view.php?id=xxxxx].

 


2. Create CHiLO Books

CHiLO Book can be created using CHiLO producer. CHiLO Producer is open source software and a java command line application for producing CHiLO Books.

  • Environment for Java 8 to operate
  • Environment to edit xlsx files(Recommended:Microsoft Office operation check:LibreOffice)
