Aim: Stimulate online discussion about recordings that students have listened to
Moodle modules: Forum
Extra programs: Mediacenter
Ease of setup: *
The Forum is an excellent module for discussions about recordings that students have listened to. You might find the list of texts in the introduction to this chapter useful as a starting point for choosing texts. You could also consider including texts in the Mediacenter. One helpful feature of that module is that you can create direct links to the copyright recordings on other websites from the Mediacenter directory. Ideas you might like to consider:
Students listen to the same text and compare ideas.
Students listen to different texts on the same subjects and compare ideas on the content. This works well with news websites.
Students listen to an online talk/lecture and discuss what the key ideas are.
