Moodle takes over from Vista & Blackboard

Friday, May 24th, 2013

From 2014 Stellenbosch University’s electronic learning management system will switch from Vista and Blackboard to Moodle, an  open source eLearning system. The switch to another system was necessitated from a change in the University’s strategy and shortcomings in the existing system that could not be corrected. The decision was based on a thorough investigation. Henceforth Moodle will be the standard eLearning system of the University.

A task team (Johann Kistner, drs Antoinette van der Merwe & JP Bosman and ms Marinda van Rooyen) facilitated the evaluation, including consulations with academic, administrative and support services staff. The success of systems, as well as the scale on which they were used by other universities, were also looked at. In the end a decision was made based on a set of predefined, weighed criteria. The following was taken into account:

  1. Off-campus access to the system must be reliable, because of the significant growth in the use of e-Learning Technology from outside campus:  service courses,      postgraduate modules, and students working from their homes.
  2. A reliable assessment component, because e-assessment is increasingly  used.
  3. A mobile interface that works on all equipment, due to the huge increase in the use of mobile devices (phones, tablets, laptops) to access the learning        management system.
  4. An accurate tracking system, because the tracking of students’ progress are critical for student success.
  5. Off-line functionality, which is very important in the (South) African context. The system must provide for students learning materials and other information to easily sync to their devices while on campus or via the network, and then to work at home without having to be online all the time.
  6. A more flexible licensing model, because community involvement and working with schools and other universities, especially on the African continent (e.g. in the CHEC courses and schools support) means that restrictive license agreements is not sustainable.

On a practical level this means that Moodle will be used for all modules from January and Vista and Blackboard will only be available for 2013 modules until March 2014. (until after the  last exam opportunity)

The short time span before implementation is planned presents substantial challenges for lecturers to migrate information in time and also for IT to ensure that servers are ready for the change. The project is currently being defined and the team is sticking to a tight time line to ensure that this goal will be achieved.

More information will also be communicated in future editions of Bits & Bytes.

Turnitin clips plagiarism’s wings

Friday, May 24th, 2013

Academic work at a university entails that the student be exposed to the ideas, written material and other intellectual and creative material of others. The intention with academic studies is precisely that the ideas of both the lecturers and the students will be shaped and polished by others. At the same time, students ought to go further than what was devised, written and created by others; he or she should critically evaluate it, provide new and original input or syntheses, and apply these to contemporary and local studies of problems. This is where academic activity becomes satisfying at university level.

Naturally, lecturers can only evaluate the contribution of their students if the contributions of others are clearly distinguished. This takes place through acknowledged systems or the process of acknowledgement and referencing. If these conventions are not adhered to and the required recognition is not given, the basis of the academic work at a university is undermined. Plagiarism is committed when someone else’s work (words, ideas, creations) are taken over and passed off as the writer’s own.

The university uses Turnitin to test plagiarism. Turnitin integrates with the Learning Management System (Webstudies or Ematies). (See more information below) Assignment links are created within the LMS which students use to upload their assignments to. The assignments submitted by students are stored in a database used to check for plagiarism. This prevents one student from using another student’s paper, by identifying matching text between papers. Assignments are also be checked against web pages, books, newspapers and available journals on the net.

The University aims to ensure that mechanisms are in place that will enable lecturers to promote academic integrity and to eliminate plagiarism. The most successful approaches to dealing with student instances of plagiarism allow for a ‘developmental approach’, which implies that cases of plagiarism – with the exception of serious cases – be used as opportunities to instruct the guilty persons as to what is expected and how to handle information. In addition, such a student could be directed to redo the assignment.

For more information on the university’s the Interim Guidelines for dealing with Plagiarism, please visit the CTL website: http://stbweb02.stb.sun.ac.za/ctl/policies.html

Free training opportunities for aspiring IT-experts

Wednesday, December 12th, 2012

Microsoft recently announced a training sponsorship for SU staff and their children. CTU Training Solutions, the company currently responsible for training staff, approached Stellenbosch University as one of their three biggest clients, with this offer.

Applicants will have to be able to attend classes every morning for the first year or after hours. Someone from a non-IT environment will still be able to do the course, but have to occupy an IT position in the second year where the information learnt in the first year will be applied on a practical level. During the second year, Microsoft will review the student’s performance.

Children of SU staff are also eligible to complete these courses. Please take note that certain conditions apply. The offer is particularly applicable to staff whose children completed their matric, but do not have the financial means to study further. Disadvantaged and disabled applicants, as well as applicants from households with a single income or single parent will be given preference. Applicants may also be required to submit a written motivation as to why they would qualify for the funding.

The only two requirements are that either the parents or company pay R2000-00 per month for the child’s travel and living expenses and he/she completes and internship during the second year. CTU will assist the student with the placement of interns at an appropriate company.

These courses generally run at a cost of R40 000, which makes this sponsorship a wonderful opportunity for any aspiring IT experts.

Please direct your applications for funded learning to:

Petro Uys by sending an email to:            puys@sun.ac.za

We shall inform applicants of the outcome of their respective application on Friday 11 January 2012.
