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)
Having them share ideas in a Glossary and present designs in a Database
Giving them a chance to peer assess, and offering them the opportunity to evaluate their progress privately (using Choice)
Providing online space for them to perform a written task (using an assignment)
Encouraging them to pool ideas and collaborate on a class story (using a wiki)
Perhaps, now that we've got them engaged to Moodle, it is time to get some grades in our grade book. 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 all for us. Interested? Read on!
