Moodle, the world's most popular, free open-source Learning Management System (LMS) has released several new features and enhancements in its latest 3.0 release. More and more colleges, universities, and training providers are using Moodle, which has helped revolutionize e-learning with its flexible, reusable platform and components. This book brings together step-by-step, easy-to-follow instructions to leverage the full power of Moodle 3 to build highly interactive and engaging courses that run on a wide range of platforms including mobile and cloud.

You will gradually move on to setting up different types of forums for discussions and incorporating multi-media from cloud-base sources. You will then focus on developing effective timed tests, self-scoring quizzes while organizing the content, building different lessons, and incorporating assessments.

Chapter 1. Developing an Effective Online Course

Welcome to Moodle 3.x Teaching Techniques! Moodle offers teachers and course designers a toolbox full of online teaching tools. This book shows you how to use those tools to create effective learning solutions. These learning solutions are based on proven, accepted instructional principles and best practices for online courses and traditional classroom activities.

Moodle is a Course Management System (CMS) that is used to produce web-based courses. It is a Free and Open Source Software (FOSS), which means that you are free to use, modify, and redistribute it as long as you:

  • Provide the source to others
  • Do not modify or remove the original license and copyrights
  • Apply this same license to any derivative work

Under these conditions, thousands of developers have contributed features and functionality to Moodle. The result is the world's most popular, free, and feature-packed course management system, which is also an online learning system. Its flexibility makes it ideal for learning that is delivered by many different organizations, including schools, colleges, universities, corporate and association training, and professional development.
