Using a learning management system for teaching means that students can access material and participate in activities at all hours of the day. The Online Users block is a standard block in Moodle, and shows users who are online (or have been online very recently). It is often amazing to log on to a course website late at night and find that there are still a number of users working away in a course.
The Online Users Google Map block shows participants who are online, not by name, but by location. Now students can see that they are not alone in their studies, and that the students in the course come from all over the map.
