When facilitating courses in Moodle™/Joule you will need to exercise new teaching methodologies and refine some of your existent skills in order to maximize the learning experience of your participants.
Communities of Practice are formed when groups of practitioners who share a passion for something come together in an effort to improve in this area. The learning that takes place among members is not necessarily intentional. It develops naturally through the process of information sharing and it is through this experience that members have the opportunity for professional growth.
How long has it been since you updated your courses? Are they still the first version of the course? Or were they created while you were learning Moodle™? These three steps will assist you to take your courses to the next stage.
The official release of Moodle™ 2 happened more than two years ago and there are still a lot of people who have not yet had the opportunity to experience the improvements made to the new interface.
I love creating simulations to add interactivity into our Moodle™/Joule training courses and capturing videos to add engagement. Students frequently ask me what tool was used to create these media assets.
Joule’s Personalized Learning Designer (PLD) gives you the ability to automate course tasks saving the instructor time while still providing participants with the immediate and timely feedback they need.
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.
