In this chapter, we used Moodle activities to help us deliver a class project. The added benefit was that we could focus on getting our students to take control of their learning by getting them to think and reflect on their work in a safe and a moderated environment (using Forum and Chat), and by having them share ideas in a Glossary and present designs in a Database. We have also given them a chance to peer assess and offered them the opportunity to evaluate their progress privately (using Choice). They have been provided with an online space to perform a written task (using an Assignment) and have been encouraged to pool ideas and collaborate on a class story (using a Wiki).
Perhaps, now that we've got them engaged with Moodle, it is time to get some grades in our gradebook. The next chapter will teach us to set up interesting exercises for our class students. These exercises will not only be enjoyable for them, but will involve no marking at all on our part. Moodle will do it...
