Scalable learning: Adaptive Immersive Experiences & Efficient Moodle Course Reuse
Join this session to learn practical insights, implementation strategies, and measurable outcomes from three innovative presentation-case studies.
The first case presentation features Merlin, the national e-learning platform for Croatian higher education, maintained by the University of Zagreb University Computing Centre (SRCE). Merlin hosts over 30,000 e-courses each academic year, serving more than 11,000 teachers and 90,000 students across Croatia. To ensure a clean and organized environment, a new Moodle instance is deployed annually, while past courses are archived and remain accessible. The Merlin platform incorporates a custom course restore module, facilitating the seamless transfer of e-courses from the previous academic year to the new one. Recognizing a file upload limit of 512MB, SRCE developed a dedicated plugin that allows teachers to transfer course backups within the system, eliminating the need for manual uploads of large files. This significantly streamlines the e-course migration process and enhances the overall user experience.
Next, discover how Panasonic Solutions is transforming education through immersive environments. This presentation explores how Windesheim University of Applied Sciences and InHolland Hogeschool are utilizing cutting-edge immersive rooms to enrich teaching methods, increase student engagement, and drive learning success.
The session will conclude with a hands-on workshop by the Luxembourg Media and Digital Design Centre (LMDDC). This workshop explores how adaptive VR/AR experiences enhance engagement and flexibility in education. Participants will interact with immersive learning tools using VR headsets, mobile devices, and desktop simulations. The showcased experiences are built with authoring tools that support modularity and easy customization, enabling educators to adapt and reuse content across subjects and platforms without technical expertise. Through guided activities, attendees will experience game-based learning and discover how immersive tools support evolving pedagogies, increase accessibility,motivation and scale across institutions. LMDDC will share insights from national projects, offering practical takeaways for integrating flexible, sustainable immersive learning into everyday teaching.
