Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Social Protection

Delivering Third Level Education Online: Discussion with Hibernia College and Schoolbag

2:45 pm

Mr. Philip O'Callaghan:

I suppose they are all operating within the IT space. That is a learning platform. We would see our offering as being distinctly different in that we are offering an opportunity for students to present their own work and form a new portfolio which is not something that can be done in Moodle. Ours is also student centred while the Moodle model is a teacher centred model and is used primarily as an online learning facility and in many ways would be closer to model in Hibernia College. I presume it has different technology but it would be in that type of space rather than our space. Moodle is in the online learning space.
