Guidelines for Online Teaching Success

teaching online with moodle

Great program! I did all of my online facilitation training with ETLO. Well worth my time. Now teaching online courses for eLearning for Educators in Missouri using Moodle.

First, a heartfelt thanks to the Moodle community, all the people who generously share what they've learned so that we can all improve learning and teaching.  Here are some of the resources the Moodle community has created:

Connectivism and Connective Knowledge is a twelve week course that will explore the concepts of connectivism and connective knowledge and explore their application as a framework for theories of teaching and learning. It will outline a connectivist understanding of educational systems of the future.

"Welcome to Moodle Central, the central repository for anything I've written or encountered regarding the use of Moodle in K-16 teaching and learning virtual spaces.

Each new version of Moodle allows teachers to create more engaging online courses, and do so more easily as Moodle becomes more user-friendly. It also puts extra strain on the server(s) it runs on. I have been asking myself for a while: "Just how much more horsepower do each new versions of Moodle require?" October being Oktobertest for me, I thought I'd investigate further and run some tests of my own.

Neuroscience has shown that our brains are plastic and that education, gaming and the use of technology can change our brains' connectivity, function and structure. (1, 2) But learning is more than just biology - it is affected by our learning environment and the people with whom and from whom we learn. So how do you take what neuroscience reveals about the plastic, learning brain and combine it with educational research, expertise and common sense? Klevar, in association with Flinders University, are offering you the chance to explore this with Dr Paul Howard-Jones of the University of Bristol, researcher and author of "Introducing Neuroeducational Research: Neuroscience, Education and the Brain from Contexts to Practice".

"I conducted a survey at my current school (December 2010) and am sharing some of the results here. Some of the results confirmed findings through observation, some were obvious, other not so much. I used the 'Questionnaire' module to create and deliver the survey (all through Moodle) and then exported the results to Excel to do more refined analysis that the module does not allow."

Interesting student feedback from this school survey about Moodle.
