e-Learning with Moodle!




Aplikasi berbasis web dengan memanfaatkan sotware database server MySQL dan PHP semakin banyak dikembangkan. Selain relatif lebih mudah dibangun, aplikasi berbasis web bersifat fleksibel dan multi-platform, bisa diinstalasi di segala macam platform sistem operasi maupun arsitektur komputer.

Berbagai macam aplikasi untuk berbagai macam keperluan dapat di kembangkan sebagai aplikasi berbasis web. Yang paling populer kita kenal ada Joomla! Manbo! dan sebagainya. Kali ini saya ingin bercerita mengenai aplikasi web-based untuk pendidikan bernama Moodle. Moodle adalah aplikasi web-based yang dibuat untuk kegiatan pendidikan online (e-Learning). Metode pendidikan berbasis web sudah menjadi tren dan juga kebutuhan di era yang serba sibuk ini. Dengan pendidikan online, tidak perlu lagi ada keterbatasan geografis dalam sebuah proses pendidikan. Implikasi yang paling dekat di lingkungan kita ada pada proses pendidikan universitas terbuka, dimana kita memperoleh materi secara online, dan baru saat ujian akhir dilakukan secara “offline”.


Baiklah, saya mulai saja cerita tentang Moodle.

Pertama, instal paket LAMP dari repositori distribusi kita, yang terdiri dari | apache2 php5-mysql libapache2-mod-php5 mysql-server | Setelah terinstal, lakukan restart service MySQL dan Apache.

$ sudo /etc/init.d/mysql restart

$ sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart

Kedua, kita harus mendownload dulu paket Moodle | di internet |

Ketiga, ektraks paket Moodle dan pindahkan ke direktori /var/www

$ sudo mv moodle /var/www

Keempat, ubah permission direktori Moodle menjadi r+w dengan :

$ sudo chmod 777 /var/www/moodle

Kelima, jalankan proses intalasi Moodle dari browser. Masuk ke alamat :

localhost/moodle (jika menggunakan browser Firefox, jangan lupa memastikan opsi “File>Work Offline” telah di uncheck).

Ikuti tiap langkah instalasi. Proses yang perlu diperhatikan adalah pada bagian penentuan direktori database Moodle di /var/moodledata. Kita harus membuat sendiri dulu direktori tersebut dan kemudian mengubah permission-nya menjadi r+w :

$ sudo mkdir /var/moodledata

$ sudo chmod 777 /var/moodledata

Setelah proses instalasi berhasil, kita akan langsung dibawa kepada pengisian jadwal kegiatan pendidikan/kursus/pelatihan. Setelah itu masuk juga ke bagian user management.


Secara keseluruhan, Moodle sudah sangat memenuhi kebutuhan e-Learning. Untuk sebuah software free, Moodle adalah aplikasi e-Learning yang luar biasa.


Selamat ber-Linux! Majulah Linux! Majulah pendidikan Indonesia! Majulah Indonesia!

Q4OS 4.6 "Gemini" Review: A Real Hidden Gem

Distro hopping is a fun adventure. It's a pure joy you can only find in GNU/Linux world. It's a nature you want to escape from what I call 'comfort ecosystem'. You need to play, trying something new even for a few little differences. For a long time I've been using Ubuntu family as my daily driver. The main reason is probably just same as any other Ubuntu user: it's reliable. You can't go wrong with Ubuntu. It works almost in any device, even for the newest one. It is the ultimate Linux distro you can rely on. However, sometimes, you will feel bored. The temptation to flirt with other new distro is unbearable. There are a lot of hot new Linux distros waiting to try.  A Real Hidden Gem I've known this distro for a quite long time. At first, it offered Trinity Desktop as the main desktop, which brings me the sweet memories about KDE3. It is simply fast, stable, almost without any issue, and it is based on Debian. I install it on my old machine and I love t

How To Install Mac OS X Lion Theme On Lubuntu / LXDE

Lubuntu 12.04 with Mac OS X Lion Theme, xcompmgr & cairo-dock [click to enlarge] Mac OS X is the special one in the Desktop market. So many people admire it because of its beauty, safety (yes, it is an UNIX) and its profesional image as “an OS for profesional modern art designer”. Yeah, Mac OS X has beautiful look and I do like its look-n-feel. And so, there are so many theme patcher to make our Microsoft Windows or Linux OS become Mac OS X in the appearance. In Linux Desktop, there are some project specialized in designing theme transformation pack to make our Linux desktop to be looked like Mac OS X. The most popular project probably is Mac4Lin.

Howto Connect To Windows Share Network (Connect To Server) Easily in PCManFM

In Nautilus 3.4, Nemo, or Caja, there is a very useful menu called "Connect to Server". This menu allow us to connect to a Windows Share network via Samba. If you are using another desktop environment such as LXDE, there aren't such menu, and we need to install third party tool called Gigolo . But apparently, PCManFM (the default file manager of LXDE) already has such function. We could connect to a Windows Share network in PCManFM easily. Here are the simple steps : 1. Open PCManFM and go to adress bar, and type this command : smb://username@server/folder example : smb://staff@192.168.1.69/document then press Enter 2. Once you will be asked to input the Windows Share Network password (if exists), select Remember Forever option. 3. You are connected to Windows Share Network ;)
