Explain the process for migrating data, including the suggestion about whether a “shut down” period is needed where no users can register or use the current SALMAT system. ?

Data migration and testing of resources is performed in the background, no shutdown period is generally required for the current system. The two sites can operate concurrently until the new TVC site is ready for production launch

07/04/2023 16

Can you merge duplicate accounts – and how is this done

Various methods are available for creating User accounts and enrolling users in TrainingVC courses. A basic CSV bulk user upload will identify duplicate accounts . Duplicate accounts can be merged via the CSV sort function via the CSV bulk upload.

07/04/2023 17

What is the largest number of users one of your clients has on the LMS? Where in the “size spectrum” of your clients would ASADA be with 17,000 user profiles

Over 100 RTO’s host their eLearning services with eWorks TrainingVC platform. These include most of Victoria’s TAFE Institutes including Chisholm Institute with over 25,000 students.

07/04/2023 18

What customization of the LMS is possible

TrainingVC is underpinned by Moodle. Moodle is an open Source and highly customisable environment. Design is customisable to your Corporate branding and for multiple brands within the one Instance. Moodle is highly extensible with over 600 plugins available to extend the functionality

07/04/2023 19

Can we edit the text on the LMS/course descriptions etc

Any user with the correct permissions has editing rights. Course descriptions, landing page information and any course text can be easily editing using the WSYWG editor. Similar to editing a word document, no HTML experience is required.

07/04/2023 20

Can we decide and change the registration options

Multiple options are available for User account and course registration. These can be changed and added at any time.

07/04/2023 21

Canwe customize what the landing page (and courses) look like for different sports

Moodle can have different themes for each separate category and/ or each separate Course. The landing page for each sport can be set up as their own separately themed Category page.

07/04/2023 22

Can we customize what the landing page (and courses) look like for different sports

Moodle can have different themes for each separate category and/ or each separate Course. The landing page for each sport can be set up as their own separately themed Category page.

07/04/2023 23

WCAG compliance – explain how LMS meets this (and the course)

Moodle has developed a WGAG compliant theme called Andro theme. This would be used as the base theme for developing the ASADA theme.

Courses resources can also be developed as WCAG compliant using SCORM packaging

07/04/2023 24

What hosting requirements would ASADA require if hosting the LMS ourselves, and how would that impact the pricing?

eWorks do not provide a self hosted service.

07/04/2023 25

Can you provide access to a sandpit environment for the ASADA team to access prior to your presentation?

Access to SANDPIT provided Wednesday.

07/04/2023 26

If we wanted to customize the course for a particular sport (mainly only the video’s), is this possible, what are your suggestions, would we be able to do this ourselves or would it involve a cost

Courses are highly customisable and a wide range of resources and activities can be added or embedded including videos. We train you staff how to do this in the start-up process.

07/04/2023 27

Explain how you would optimise the course for accessibility on all learning devices (phone, tablet, PC)

The latest version of Moodle 2.6 has a responsive theme architecture (bootstrap). This means that the page will respond to the device the user is accessing it from and render accordingly.

07/04/2023 28

ASADA has/will collect a large amount of video footage from elite athletes … Explain how best you think this could be used and are there any limitations or issues we should be aware of.

Videos can be stored and streamed from the Alfresco content repository.

Alternatively they can be uploaded to a ASADA Vimeo account and embedded back into the Courses. This is common practice amongst some of our larger Institutional clients.

07/04/2023 29

How do we best position the course knowing that some users will have old computers and slow connections and the video may be an issue to load – while others may have the NBN. Where is the “sweet spot” in terms of usability v modern whizz bang graphics and video

Moodle is designed for low bandwidth. The overuse of rich media resources may be problematic for users with restricted access. This is a reason we recommend considering a ASADA Vimeo account for video resources and embedded back into the Courses.

07/04/2023 30

Tell us how you suggest to best include some form of gamification into the course – or if you recommend against it.

There are Organisations that use interactive games and scenarios to increase engagement with a cohort of learners. These can be developed as a SCORM and easily uploaded into a Moodle Course.

Practical demonstrations

• Register as a new user, log in, and open the level 1 course

• Upload a new training resource and allocate it to a group of users

• Manually mark a course as complete

• If customisation of the landing page is possible (eg quiz/survey) – provide a quick example of how this is done

07/04/2023 32

Practical demonstrations

• Show us the reporting features of the LMS, ideally including reporting wizard.

• Bulk upload a group of users (they should provide us a template in advance and we can have the users ready)

• We receive a team list from Swimming How can we recognise this within the LMS (including un-registered users, or current users)

• Bulk upload of participants in a face to face workshop into the LMS

07/04/2023 33

Practical demonstrations - Course

Show us examples of previous work (including a short practical example by navigating through the course) which is similar to the level/cost of what is proposed to ASADA
