HomeManaging Students' On-line Learning with MOODLE
Saturday, December 10th, 2005, 6:30 PM - 8:30 PM
Speaker: Nigel Stott and Malcolm Swanson
If you would like to set up an e-learning course for your students, then you might like to consider using the course management system MOODLE.
This open source software package allows you to create on-line courses that include self-checking quizzes, assignments, discussion forums, writing journals, surveys, lessons, resources, and so on. The teacher has complete control over the content and presentation, but the interface is relatively easy to use. The MOODLE system is being used by educators in a wide variety of institutions around the world, not just in language teaching but in all subjects, with all ages of students, in both distance-learning situations and as a supplement to face-to-face classes.
In this presentation, Nigel and Malcolm will demonstrate some of the features of MOODLE using their own on-line courses. They will describe their own experiences of running MOODLE courses and show the kinds of things it is possible to achieve with the system.
