The Moodle Assignment module has undergone major changes in the newest Joule release that includes core Moodle 2.3. Now instead of having four separate types of Assignment activities (Single File Upload Advanced Uploading of Files Online text and Offline) they are condensed into a single Assignment activity with the ability for instructors to define settings indicating the allowed submission types.
Joule’s 2012 Winter release included both updates to Joule and core Moodle™ 2.3.3. In today’s blog I’d like to share some of the most vital additions and deletions.
Moodle™ 2 has introduced numerous enhancements in the past couple of years and one of the most relevant changes has happened in the file system. Files are now saved in repositories instead of being placed inside course or site files folders.
As the new year begins it’s a great time to set new goals for improving our elearning courses. Are your courses lacking luster engagement interactivity or collaboration? How can you take your online courses to the next level? In today’s post I’m going to suggest some ideas for improving your courses in Moodle™ and Joule.
According to research students don’t classify a course as either “good” or “bad” based on instructor preparedness instructor organization or even the level of interaction within the course.
Promoting student voice in the online environment increases engagement builds community and encourages ownership of the learning experience. Data-driven decisions based on feedback received allows for continuous improvement of course content and facilitation techniques.
For many online classes there is not a scheduled time for students and instructors to meet for synchronous interaction. Therefore communication with students is very important in an online classroom.
Moodle™ is the most widely-used Learning Management System in the world. With more than 63 million users and 70 thousand registered sites in over 200 countries Moodle™ gains hundreds of users every day and many of them are completely new to online learning.
