START

Moodle

Moodle sits at the heart of the learning and teaching delivery model. Moodle is where most of the hard work is done by lecturers to produce intuitive courses and immersive learning materials. The learning wheel is designed around digital a pedagogy and helps lecturers identify ways of integrating tools and techniques to augment their online course delivery within Moodle. With the help of the Learning Wheel you can contextualised ‘subject’ specific activities with each aligned to the five modes of engagement: Aqusition, Collaboration, Discussion, Investigation, Practice and Production.

Acquisition

Knowledge acquisition:

is the act of processing, absorbing and storing new information and being able to retrieve that information at a later date to identify how successful acquasition process has been.To process, store and retrieve information mostly depends on how well the organisation and design of the information is delivered. It also depends on how much a piece of information is relevant to the context it refers to and whether it is influenced by how the information is structured.

Ideas for using forums

Ask yourself if:

• you wish to have involvement in the forum or if you want the students to lead and own the space.
• you want the forum to add value to the face to face environment or have a life of its own in its own right outside the lecture theatre / classroom or seminar room.
• you are prepared to make appropriate contributions to the discussion to:

• encourage discussion if students are quiet help shape ideas if students begin to wander off-task.
• your role will be defined as discussions/a course progresses you will explicitly but gradually relinquish control of the discussions.
• you will encourage and support learners to share control of discussions (for example you might ask a learner/group of learners to summarise contributions to a discussion thread/topic, or you might ask learners to initiate discussion topics)

His audiam deserunt in, eum ubique voluptatibus te. In reque dicta usu. Ne rebum dissentiet eam, vim omnis deseruisse id.
