In this recipe, we are going to perform a very simple activity. We are going to use Open Office Spreadsheet, which we have already used before. Another option happens to be Microsoft Excel. You can download a free trial version from the following website: http://tinyurl.com/27xe849.
We design a Database activity in our Moodle course to survey students according to the way they spend their free time. We just carry out a simple statistic; we are not focusing on other factors, though a Math teacher can help us. We design this activity in two parts so that the first part is the survey to our students and the second part consists of gathering the data and designing a chart using Open Office Spreadsheet, creating the hyperlinks through a website, and uploading it to our Moodle course.
