1. Introduction
The Kyushu University Faculty of Arts and
Science aims for the “development and
introduction of teaching portfolios,” with the
purpose of improving education by sharing
practical knowledge at the Faculty of Arts and
Science, through Enhanced Education Program
(EEP) initiatives. The Faculty will share digital
teaching materials used at the Faculty of Arts
and Science, integrate browsing histories and
e-learning systems information from those pages,
create educational big data, and plan to create
detailed educational and learning support. This
was selected by the National Institute of
Information and Communications Technology
(NICT)’s 2014 “Research and Development of
Social Big Data Use, Application, and Basic
Technology.”
This document will explain the e-learning
system Moodle, the e-portfolio system Mahara,
and the digital material distribution system
BookLooper, which are used in these projects.
The learning environment encompassing all
three of these systems is called M2B (Mitsuba).
1.1 Moodle e-Learning System
The Moodle system is used as a computer-based
learning support system (e-learning system). A
Moodle course is created for each lecture course,
and attendance, quizzes, distribution of
materials, submission of reports, surveys, and
other materials are handled digitally on Moodle.
1.2 Mahara e-Learning Portfolio
System
The Mahara system is used for digitally storing
evidence of the process of daily learning and
education. For example, instructors can use it as
a teaching portfolio for revising teaching
materials, recording things they noticed about
the lecture in the class log, and improving their
classes. Students can use it as a learning
portfolio by writing in the class log and
reflecting on lecture contents, leading to
improved interest in learning and improved
teaching for instructors.
1.3 BookRoll Digital Material
Distribution System
BookRoll is a system used by the university to
distribute digital versions of course materials
(pdf files) for use during lectures. With lecture
notes available ahead of time on BookRoll, they
can be used during lectures as well as to prepare
and to revise. They can also be utilized as a tool
to improve course materials. Furthermore, a
record of the use of these notes by students can
be made and, via a link with Moodle, the
accumulated data can be used to visually
represent in graph form the overall average
trends in viewing the notes and the sections
that tend to be highlighted.
1.4 Agreement for Participation in
Planning of “Research on the Measurement and Analysis of Student
Learning Activities”
When using the M2B (Mitsuba) system, notify
students to submit the agreement for
participation in the planning of “M2B システムを
用いた学習活動の分析に関する研究」への参画に関す
る同意書”
This agreement only needs to be turned in one
time per person. Students who have already
submitted the agreement in another course do
not need to submit it again.
Instructors should also submit one agreement
per person (not one for every course).
Agreement forms can be submitted from a link
on the top page of the Moodle system
(https://moodle.kyushu-u.ac.jp/).
