With more and more organisations adopting the
 Moodle open source course management system it is increasingly
important that tools that enhance learning can seamlessly integrate
with it. With your resources, quizzes, forums, chats, assignments
and student data all residing in your Moodle database it is important that the results
and data from these tools are also stored in the Moodle database for easy access.
Moodle is generally thought of as a tool that students engage with individually
away from the classroom whereas Optivote is an electronic voting
system that is deployed to groups of students in the classroom.
Bringing the two technologies together with
provides the opportunity to deliver your Moodle quizzes, surveys and questionnaires
to an audience of students in the classroom. All your content and participant data,
at either course or group level, resides in Moodle with Optivote acting as the device
for gathering individual responses to each question. The results are immediately
returned to your Moodle gradebook for reporting.
With all the administration residing in your familiar Moodle set up and
no need for any uploads, downloads, imports or exports the seamless
system offers you a whole new range of possibilities.
Immediate survey results and instant feedback on the progress of all students both
in the classroom and in Moodle benefit both the teacher and the students. Students
can see how they performed by logging on to their Moodle just
as soon as the lecture is over.
allows teachers to deliver standard Moodle quizzes, surveys or questionnaires to
a lecture theatre audience who respond using the Optivote handsets. The Moodle course
participants or groups of students can be quizzed simultaneously
with all their individual responses being stored in the Moodle results section.
Additionally, Optivote continues to hold the results locally allowing the teacher
to review the results even when they don't have access to your Moodle web site.
