is so last century
• Immediately saw the potential
of the Moodle LMS
• Plus other functionalities that
could be added.
• Building knowledge about how
to best use Moodle in the
classroom.
• LMS becomes lesson planner
framework

10. Functionality of C7 T&L
… So Far
• My Content: File server
• Moodle: Fully functional LMS
• Wikipedia: Searchable for
Schools
• Student Response: Teach by
questioning
• Back Channel: Engage
learners and mine knowledge
build
Do you want your learning with or without the Internet?

11. My Content - File Server
Web: http://teachingbox.net/mycontent
LAN: mycontent/
• Even just a wifi hotspot file
sharing server is “game
changing” in some countries
• Load them as packages from
computer via USB stick
• Sync with C3 Cloud
• Digital assets like video files.
PDFs etc.
• Also ILM’s (Articulate Storyline)
etc - interactive content

12. Moodle LMS
Web: http://teachingbox.net/lms
LAN: moodle/
• Teachers can add plugins to the moodle.
• Keep in mind that resources should be in
Moodle to work without Internet
• 60, 120 & 240 Gb at moment but
1 Tb+ models are coming
• Looks and feels like a WordPress site
• Can port forward on modem/router and C3
talks to Internet
• Multiple languages are possible
• Will develop tutorials to teach teachers how to
use Moodle this way
• Responsive theme for mobile devices

13. Developed Moodle Plugin
A
B
Smart script recognises if user
is from internet or the C3 LAN.
A. Local LAN users get video
served from the C3
B. Internet users get video

15. Wikipedia for Schools
Web: only available from the C3 via LAN

• Searchable wikipedia
• Wikipedia for Schools (5gb)
proofed by a team of
teachers
• If you have the HD space
you can load a full copy of
Wikipedia - about 45 gb

and synced from the C3
Cloud.

16. Learner Back Channel
Web: http://teachingbox.net/blab
LAN: 192.168.100.254/blab
• Internal “twitter-like” text chat
software

4. ASUS RT-N66U N900 Gb Router

19. Just One More Thing
Coming Soon … I hope
LAMS - Learning Activity
Management System
Web: http://lessonlams.com
• An excellent tool for helping
teachers build interactive,
pedagogically strong, learning
sequences
• Can be integrated with the
Moodle, so moodle activities
and resources can be part of
LAMS lessons
• Teachers can monitor and
coach students in real time as
they do lessons

20. First World Possibilities
“I see the C7 teaching system relieve the classroom teacher
of two major stress factors. The first is by providing a reliable
delivery system for digital content. The second is by enabling
the teacher to orchestrate when and how the students will
access the internet. This will help build a community of
learners that are engaged on the task at hand with few
distractions."

21. Strengths and Weaknesses
Please suggest ways this “third world” educational strategy
might help your educational world … often with
stakeholders with “first world problems”
