Activities are just as they imply...learning activities you can have your students engage in. These can range from a discussion forum or taking an assessment.
Forums are the bread and butter of Moodle. It is in forums that most discussion takes place. Forums can be structured in different ways, and can include peer rating of each posting. The postings can be viewed in a variety for formats, and can include attachments.
This module allows the teacher to design and set quiz tests, consisting of multiple choice, true-false, and short answer questions and more. Each attempt is automatically marked, and the teacher can choose whether to give feedback or to show correct answers.
You can create a question bank that you can use to make multiple quizes.
This activity allows participants to create and maintain a list of definitions, like a dictionary.The entries can be searched or browsed in many different formats.
"Wiki Wiki" in Hawaiian means, "really fast". A wiki is a web page that anyone can add to or edit...really fast! It enables documents to be authored collectively and supports collaborative learning. Old versions are not deleted and may be restored if required.
This is a great tool for brainstorming, and collaboratively working on a document.
This module is a very important reflective activity. The teacher asks the student to reflect on a particular topic, and the student can edit and refine their answer over time. This answer is private and can only be seen by the teacher, who can offer feedback and a grade on each journal entry. It's usually a good idea to have about one Journal activity per week.
Here a teacher asks a question and specifies a choice of multiple responses. This can be useful as a quick poll to stimulate thinking about a topic; to allow the class to vote on a direction for the course; or to gather research consent.
The Feedback module allows you create online surveys and collect user responses. You can easily create questions with multiple choice or text responses.
The Questionnaire module is a more robust survey tool.
The Chat module allows participants to have a real-time synchronous discussion via the web. This is a useful way to get a different understanding of each other and the topic being discussed.
Moodle users can post to their own blog site. To access a user's blog, click on their name from the course participants list, then click on the "Blog" tab from the profile page. At the administrative level, view restrictions can be set for all blogs. These restrictions include, allow course members, site members, or the whole world to view the blog.
Note: Currently there is no "comment" feature with blogs in Moodle.
A lesson delivers content in an interesting and flexible way. It consists of a number of pages. Each page normally ends with a multiple choice question. Navigation through the lesson can be straight forward or complex.
This module allows teachers to create multiple-choice, short-answer, jumbled-sentence, crossword, matching/ordering and gap-fill quizzes using Hot Potatoes software.
The Hot Potatoes module needs to be made visible via Administration >> Configuration >> Modules.
A Workshop is a peer assessment activity with a huge array of options. It allows participants to assess each other's projects, as well as exemplar projects, in a number of ways. It also coordinates the collection and distribution of these assessments in a variety of ways.
Resources can be prepared files uploaded to the course server; pages edited directly in Moodle; or external web pages made to appear part of this course.
You can add additional functions to your Moodle page by inserting a "block" on the right or left column. Moodle comes pre-configured with a number of different block. Or you can us the "HTML Block" to add anything you want.
To add a block to your page, turn editing on and then select the desired block from the drop-down menu on the right column.
Think of the HTML Block as a mini webpage. You can create and display any HTML in a the block. You can even embed HTML from another source like TeacherTube
The calendar, on the upper right corner of the page, allows teachers to add events for the class to see. Students can also use this as a private calendar to keep track of their own events.
Filters allow you to show various file types on your Moodle pages (e.g Flash, videos, java applets). When Moodle sees a link to a file it also looks at the file extension and then runs the appropriate filter to display it on the page.
In Moodle, you can upload and run interactive Java applets and Flash movies. Students can interact with them alone, in a small group or as a whole class discussion.
Moodle has the ability to convert mathematical text entered in a special way into symbolic notation. You activate it by surrounding an expression or equation with "$$$"
For example if you type "$$$f(x)=3/(x^2)-12$$$" into a forum post, it will return:
f(x)=3/(x2)−12f(x)=3/(x2)−12
Here's a more sophisticated example: Entering $$$x = \frac{{ - b \pm \sqrt {b^2 - 4ac} }}{{2a}}$$$, yields:
x=−b±b2−4ac−−−−−−√2ax=−b±b2−4ac2a
YOU TRY IT! Click on the forum below and make a post with a TEX expression.
This is your Sidebar, which you can edit like any other wiki page.
This Sidebar appears everywhere on your wiki. Add to it whatever you like -- a navigation section, a link to your favorite web sites, or anything else.
