Description

A Moodle Association of Japan R&D funding report.

As a recipient of 2025 MAJ R&D funding, I had English- and Japanese-language documentation prepared for the Video Assessment Module (VAM) plugin. It is an open-source plugin available for free download from the Moodle plugin database and GitHub. The purpose of VAM is to support rubric-based formative assessment of video recordings of learners' speaking performances, with a focus on rapid, iterative improvement.

To leverage the new documentation to promote Moodle and VAM usage throughout Japan, I ran a direct promotion campaign targeting Moodle users at Japanese universities. I will outline the campaign's effectiveness and users' reception of the new bilingual documentation.
