Moodle Discussion Forum: During this course, E-Learning for Educators, I was able to use Moodle to facilitate a discussion on the use of technology in the classroom. I asked several questions of my fellow students as part of a discussion prompt, exploring the pros and cons of technology in the classroom and to explore the possibility of too much technology as a hindrance to the learning process. A PDF of that discussion is found at the bottom of the page.
Moodle Assignment and Assessment: I was also asked to put on the hat of the instructor and create an assessment in the form of either a quiz or a survey using Moodle to do so. After having the members of my group read an article on plagiarism, I created a true/false quiz to test their knowledge. I also included an essay question which I would have to evaluate on my own. The quiz can be viewed as a PDF below.
