Powered by an open-source application called Moodle, UvLe is maintained and operated by the Diliman Interactive Learning Center (DILC). The name "UVLe" is a homophonic play of "Oblê" that's a contraction of "Oblation"--a university symbol. UVLê is a platform for students to freely interact or collaborate with their instructors and fellow students. It is constructed with a pedagogy that imbibes self-discovery, self-instruction, "learning by doing" and experimentation. Learn more about Moodle's pedagogy.

As of December 7, 2010, the new UVLe has 16,291 users.

History

the orginal Uvle



Initially developed by 3 UPD students in 2000 with the guidance of the UPCC, UVLê pursues UP's tradition of excellence in academic computing. It won the "Best of Student Projects (Institute of Higher Learning)" in the Asia Pacific Information and Communications Technology Awards in Kuala Lumpur, in 2001.

From the initial hosting of 33 "virtual classes" during the first semester of 2001, the old UVLe had since hosted close to 880 classes for 16,953 users as of September 2008.

While UVLe is now on Moodle code base, it has a long history of technical innovation. (See Old UVle's changelog.) The pre-Moodle UVLe is now known as "old UVLe" and is no longer supported by the UPCC. The current UVLe was launched on October 6, 2008, on the occasion of DILC's 5th anniversary. DILC now operates and supports the new UVLe.

Backup Practice

UVLe's database, files, configs, scripts are backed up every end of the month. At any given time, there are two (2) alternating monthly backups: one off-site, another one at DILC; one is dated at the most recent end of the month, the second is dated at two months before.

The UVLe server itself contains daily backup of databases.

  • move the UVLe codebase to Moodle 2.0 (April 2011)
  • integration of useful Moodle plugins like (note: some of these plug-ins are still not available on moodle 2.0)
