4. 4/17 eLearning in Novi Sad – State of the art Chair of Computer Science of the DMI in Novi Sad, uses LMS Moodle since 2003. Currently, our system has (Jun, 2009) : –8 categories, –92 courses, –663 users http://perun.dmi.uns.ac.rs/moodle (http://perun.im.ns.ac.yu/moodle)http://perun.dmi.uns.ac.rs/moodlehttp://perun.im.ns.ac.yu/moodle

5. 5/17 Since the beginning, actually the first course on Moodle, was JCSE. –Every year, we start with the fresh list of users last year, we had 62 users (before that 85, than 65, 60 …) currently we have 0 users –Every year we further developed learning material eLearning in Novi Sad – State of the art

6. 6/17 eLearning in Novi Sad – Historical view At the beginning, Moodle was simply a repository of teaching material: –pdf versions of English slides, –pdf versions of Serbian slides 3 versions for each type: –1 slide per page –2 slides per page –6 slides per page

7. 7/17 eLearning in Novi Sad – Historical view Since there is NO book for the course, this was the only material students used for studies – which they found insufficient! From school-year 2005/06, we started the development of different types of learning material – with the great help of our students!

8. 8/17 eLearning in Novi Sad – Historical view II As one of the possibilities for the course “Elective Seminar”, we offered course “E-learning”. Students of the 4 th year, those who already passed the JCSE exam, we employed to develop eLessons for the course.

9. 9/17 eLearning in Novi Sad – Historical view II After the first year – we had 6 eLessons, that were offered to the next generation of students, as additional material. They were NOT satisfied, in general! Most of the eLessons were static, more of a “copies of the original slides”, “divided into too many sub-lessons”, and “nothing BUT that!”.

10. 10/17 eLearning in Novi Sad – Improvement view We learned from our/their mistakes, and the following year, set more precise rules for eLessons: –the whole material should be created as a single eLesson, –there must be a glossary with “less known notions and all of the definitions”, –there must be a database with N questions, that are randomly selected to form a self-testing quiz

11. 11/17 eLearning in Novi Sad – Improvement view So … year by year … our set of eLessons, eGlossaries, and eQuizzes grew! At the end of school-year 2007/2008, we tough we HAD 23 Topics (out of 23 existing) covered!

12. 12/17 eLearning in Novi Sad – Improvement view OK, ok … some problems too! Students didn’t like our topics! –they were full of typos! –they did not have “our”, “local” letters! Those 2 guys on the right look like the ones that would be satisfied?

13. 13/17 eLearning in Novi Sad – Current view So – we analyzed the whole ePart of the course: –Out of 23 – 4 topics were NOT covered  –6 topics MUST be improved, 3 additional SHOULD! –7 topics MUST have a quiz, 3 additional could use a better one! –Once in a future, topics should be enhanced with assignments and forums! –Some of the topics are already extended with Links, Chats, and/or Surveys. Why not all?

14. 14/17 eLearning in Novi Sad – Current view Those were the little things! What was huge, were errors made, a (little bit) by students, and (much more) by transition between versions of LMS Moodle. Naturally, we fixed them! It took us 2 weeks of on-line time … but it’s “perfect” now!

15. 15/17 eLearning in Novi Sad – Current view What else? –All of the mentioned was done by us. Then we employed students, once more. –In the meantime – 7 more students got their jobs/exams creating JCSE eLessons! –3 of those are finished and added, 4 of them are somewhere in the development process.

16. 16/17 eLearning in Novi Sad – Future view What next? –There are 5 more lessons never presented in Novi Sad, and not covered by eFacilities. –There are “additional topics”. Never presented nor covered. –There is a need, for improvement of several (more) of the existing topics.

17. 17/17 eLearning in Novi Sad – Future view What next? –In other words – we DO have what to do in the future … –What’s important, what we DO have is NOW usable!
