A new resource is available to faculty.听It is an asynchronous, self-paced online course called 鈥Teaching with Moodle鈥, which has been developed by Madeleine Bazerghi (Pedagogical Counsellor, OAD).听
Moodle听allows teachers to:
鈥 upload files such as narrated PowerPoints, videos, jpegs, word, excel, pdfs;
鈥 use the Chat and Forum features in order to communicate with students, possibly limiting the听quantity of emails you receive;
鈥 engage students with wikis, workshops, glossaries, H5P integration, databases etc.;
鈥 build a lesson using the 鈥渂ook鈥 feature, where students can navigate a lesson, page by page;
鈥 obtain feedback from your students;
鈥 poll your students;
鈥 record short video or audio clips to supplement text-based content;
鈥 check student learning with formative quizzes or assignments;
鈥 create a bank of exam questions that can be shuffled and chosen at random so that every student听has a different exam;
鈥 correct your exams;
鈥 track student progress;
鈥 provide feedback.
Once you build a course in Moodle, the same course can be edited or re-used.听This asynchronous, self-paced, online course is designed to help you learn about Moodle, or refine your Moodle skills. Follow the entire course, or select modules according to your interests.
