Moodle LMS has been one of the most popular Open Source Learning Management System since last 20 years. There are many new tools developed around Moodle to integrate and expand Moodle’s functionality. Many of them are available as free Moodle plugins while others are available as paid integrations. During the recently concluded MoodleMoot Global 2022, Buen Data team – Moodle Partner from Columbia presented a new tool – Data Curso.

Data Curso is a new tool which is intended to help teachers create Moodle course based on sound instructional design principles. The tool is still under development but it offers a really useful for Moodle teachers to choose best activities/resources depending on their classroom needs.

Based on the inputs provided by the teacher which includes details about the course environment, students age, students internet access etc. Once the teachers provides all the details about course environment, the tool will provide ready-made document to create the Moodle course. There is even possibility to create all the activities/resources in Moodle course based on inputs.

The Data Curso tool is developed by Buen Data – Moodle Partner in Columbia. It is expected to be released by Q2 of 2023. At the present moment, the tool is based on the Gagne’s model of instructional design. However, in the upcoming versions, it will include other Instruction design methods like ADDIE model etc.

Here is the video from the MoodleMoot Global 2022 presented by Hernan Alonso:

I am pretty much excited by the endless possibilities offered by this tool and the way how it can be helpful for teachers to choose the best activities to start with their course.
