One thing that came up this morning (well overnight as the exchange is with an Australian) is the difference between drivers and modulators, or rather the different implications of the two terms. A different way of looking at this is the replace the word driver with modulator. I may not even be aware of some modulators until they suddenly come into play and their impact is seen. The magnets in this case modulate the system. Photograph courtesy of Daynoir.

Modules A module is some additional programming that gives your site some additional functionality. A number of optional modules come installed with the original Drupal download. In addition, you can get many more modules from the Drupal web site. The first step, then, is to look at the list of modules that comes with the Drupal download. So I select 'Site Building' -> 'Modules'. So I activate the module. This will happen for every module.

In working this through over the last year, mostly in lockdown so on zoom not in person, I’ve shifted a bit and yesterday made the provisional decision to stop talking about modulators (although keeping the idea of modulation as an alternative to causality when describing a complex system).

I did a bit of searching around and determined that the overall structure is pretty common: - course - modules - an array of individual units of instruction - sections - an array of individual offerings of the course Like this: Figure 1. I already have a 'course' table in gRSShopper from previous experiments, so I'll make a 'module' table and a 'section' table. I'm making a module table so I typed 'module' in the form. Let's define what I want in a module.

From this I created a set of nine topics that constituted the structure of the course - the course modules. Then, for each module, I considered the topic from four distinct perspectives: philosophy, technology, media and learning. This synopsis will be used for a variety of purposes: it creates the content for each module, it defines the sort of tasks and activities we can engage in, it creates the outline for my introductory E-Learning 3.0 So that's my module page.

Also, I wanted to be able to put videos on the Event page and even on the Modules page. I need to associate each video with an event, and with a module. I could do this in either the Media Editor or the Event Editor and Module Editor. Figure 70 - Media form in Form Editor I've added course, module and event as keylists.

However, I’ll spend time revisiting Derrida and others (notably Latour, but he is a sociologist, so I have more tolerance), especially after a student in the MDDE622 course that Rory McGreal and I taught at Athabasca University, posted an interesting learning module on Deconstruction and Connectivism. Stella Bastone agreed to share the module. From the module: According to Derrida, all Western thought is based on the idea of a center…Deconstruction challenges this.

In the previous segment I decided to create a course with modules and sections, and set up the modules. I'll fill out the actual content of those modules over time. What I want to do is list the course modules and events (there's only one course so I don't need to list courses). Figure 15 - where are my modules? The problem is that gRSShopper doesn't know how to display modules. What I need to do is to define a View that will display modules.

We have created a list of modules or discrete units for all the various methods and tools. For each of those modules we have created a brief audio-recording and slide set. Over time the older structure will disappear and we will just have the modules, with one simple-to-use navigation page showing everything. The modules will be graded on a scale of 1-3 based on level of difficulty. Attending a training course will thus gain each participant points for each module.

In one case, it was for a series of elearning modules. In a more recent instance, it was on a specific focus, but there were several modules that used a similar structure. I was thinking about today’s post , wherein I was talking about a couple of packages that might help organizations move forward. I was reflecting back on some previous posts about engagement models, and was reminded of a more recent one. And I realized this has played out in a couple of ways.

Typically, adding learning involves integrating structured away-from-work learning (courses, classes, and eLearning modules) with learning activities within the workflow. Alternatively adding might involve making an eLearning module available on mobile devices, or making an online community space available for follow-up after a face-to-face course.

The issue arrises when the nature of the system is such that the levels of uncertainty, the degree of interacting modulators is such, that unintended consequences are the only certainty. Of course, if the degree of modulation is limited and if causality is linear (repeating and predictable) then there is no issue with measures becoming targets. I had a really interesting exchange on twitter over the last few days.

This context specific module is acquired just as we need it, ‘just in time’.
