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!

Ubuntu Kylin 19.04 Review : A Gorgeous Windows 10 Clone

It's been quite a while since the last post I wrote in this blog. My daily life prevents me to write another stuff about Linux Desktop, and now I'm curious to take a look to the Ubuntu Kylin 19.04. Ubuntu is always be my favorite distro. It supports huge number of hardwares, it has probably the largest Linux software repository. It is also --the most important thing-- very easy to install, even for beginners.  But for some couple of years, because of technical reason, I stopped to play around with the Ubuntu releases. I stood for KDE Neon and became my primary OS because of its simplicity and the look. Few days ago Ubuntu has released its newer version, Ubuntu 19.04 codenamed Disco Dingo. I'm yes impressed by the progress Ubuntu developer has made, especially the way they arrange the GNOME desktop to match the Ubuntu theme. But the most interesting flavor of this release is Ubuntu Kylin. It's an official Ubuntu flavor, designed for Chinese People with its own...

How To Speed Up Your KDE Plasma Desktop (KDE4)

KDE is one of the oldest desktop environment in Linux. While GNOME (the other desktop that as old as KDE) is trying to built its own style of user interface, KDE from the beginning seems to mimics the Microsoft Windows' "classic" user interface. Thus, KDE has its own user base, especially for them who still in love with the Windows' philosophy : a simple desktop, with a single taskbar in the bottom, and a start menu in the left. Personally, I love KDE. It's gorgeous and eyecandy. But sometimes, I feel KDE is little bit slow in my older hardwares. So, after some experiences, I've found some tweak how to make KDE Plasma Desktop Runs Faster . 1. Change The Compositing Engine  Go to System Settings>Desktop Effect>Advanced , and change the Compositing type from OpenGL 2.0 to XRender. 2. Remove All Bloatware Apps There are some uneeded apps installed in Kubuntu (my favorite KDE distro) and you could safely remove them. Here are my list : ...

BAM Huawei Mobile Partner For Linux. Download and Install.

Click to enlarge Profile management Broadband connection is one of the most used internet connections, alongside wired and wi-fi internet connection. And the most used device to use broadband connection is USB Modem (GSM/CDMA), and one of the most used brands is Huawei, a world-recognized Chinese manufacture that focuses to produce great networking devices (modems, router etc). It is probably the most popular brand from China and I have to say that Huawei is a great product. Because of this I decided to buy a CDMA USB modem from Huawei. And greatly, this has already been recognized by Linux from so long time ago and so I can use the modem easily with GNOME's Network Manager. But later I found a problem : how to top up my prepaid internet account? To top up my prepaid internet account, I have to send a SMS to the provider and I can't do this on Linux.
