@ulcc www.ulcc.ac.uk
FE Market Understanding
• Early findings:
– Expertise/experience is most valued aspect of ULCC service
– Cost drives even satisfied customers away– Lack of reporting is driving customers away
– whoever provides the best evidence of VLE value will win
![Page 12: ULCC Moodle User Group // Christmas 2015](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022022411/58eba73c1a28abdc638b46bf/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
@ulcc www.ulcc.ac.uk
FE Market Understanding
• Early findings (cont.):
– Satisfaction with moodlerooms but fears over future and hidden costs
– We should explore relationship with CompassCC (ProMonitor)
– We should be a more active player in the Moodle community
![Page 13: ULCC Moodle User Group // Christmas 2015](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022022411/58eba73c1a28abdc638b46bf/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
@ulcc www.ulcc.ac.uk
FE Market Understanding
• Question
– If ULCC had class-leading reporting and we offered the service at a more affordable price, what (if anything) would a college be willing to sacrifice to achieve that?

OOH
• OOH service in place since Jan 2012
• Serving 6 Moodle customers
• 19 staff on rota, more in reserve
• Defined as a reactive service
– Delays resolution– Limits adoption
![Page 34: ULCC Moodle User Group // Christmas 2015](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022022411/58eba73c1a28abdc638b46bf/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
@ulcc www.ulcc.ac.uk
OOH
• We are keen to make our existing OOH services
pro-active as soon as possible
– Quicker resolution of incident– Allows increased adoption
• Monitoring and alerting is now sophisticated
enough to support this.

@ulcc www.ulcc.ac.uk
OOH
• Service will be defined by us guaranteeing >99.9%
availability 24/7/365
• We will do what it takes to deliver that
• Three proposed service levels
– Enhanced Availability – ULCC trigger only– Enhanced Availability+ – adds portal trigger– OOH Call Centre – phone no. provided

@ulcc www.ulcc.ac.uk
OOH
• We would like as much feedback on these
plans as possible
• Please talk to Toby or myself if you are
interested.
• Happy to share SLAs
• Happy to demonstrate monitoring/alerting

The SSO project – why did we do it?
• To establish single sign-on between Moodle and other College services:
– In response to widespread, mature embedded use of Moodle by College programmes.
– To address password fatigue.– An enhancement in light of a Higher Education Review and our
application for Taught Degree Awarding Powers.– Been trying to do it for years…!
![Page 41: ULCC Moodle User Group // Christmas 2015](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022022411/58eba73c1a28abdc638b46bf/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
How did we do it?
Facilitating the projectDevising a solution
Testing and implementing SSO using Active Directory via Shibboleth
Hans Litteck (ULCC) and Marc Wilson (RBC
Delivering SSO for users
Account updating and repairs on the day…
Matt Hull (ULCC) and David Matthews (RBC)

What went well? • Seamless transition for
student users• Solution for re-attaching
Moodle and Mahara accounts post-integration
• Use of queries to reduce manual account repairs (Matt Hull)
• Efficient, industrious and responsive service from ULCC.
![Page 43: ULCC Moodle User Group // Christmas 2015](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022022411/58eba73c1a28abdc638b46bf/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
And not so well…• Setup of staff UPNs meant
that several attempts were needed to catch all staff in a query…
• … and in one query, we turned 300 students into staff!
• Then fixed it!• Manual repairs needed to a
number of Mahara accounts to re-attach to Moodle.
![Page 44: ULCC Moodle User Group // Christmas 2015](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022022411/58eba73c1a28abdc638b46bf/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
For the future…
• The SSO project has compelled us to reconsider how account creation and maintenance is done, especially for users who are neither staff nor students, e.g.
– External Examiners– Scrutinizers and auditors– Visiting tutors
• Looking forward to some degree of MIS integration, for account creation and maintenance; and tracking/recording of marks.
