New Resource for Dawson Faculty: Teaching with Moodle!
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.
