To be? (A Moodle course) or not to be? (A Moodle course) That is…
Choices...a design question.
…a design question discussed at the March 5th FLN meeting which continually comes up from teachers in Moodle training.
“What format should my Moodle course be?”
The answer is it depends, what teaching need do you want to use your Moodle course for?
For flexibility Moodle courses should not be locked into any particular format so the SWSI ITEL sat down and examined the pros and cons of the formats we advocate to teachers namely:
- One Moodle Course = Individual UOC
- Moodle Course = Whole TAFE Course i.e.. contains all UOC’s in one place (Cert 1, 2, 3, 4 AQF etc)
- One Moodle Course = Focused Content (i.e Class)
- Moodle Course = Network Hub, an Emergent (Dominant?) trend.
At the moment we sit in two camps working within the limitations of Moodle 1.9.7 and the promises of new Moodle 2.0 functionality to fix all those bug-bears, the pro and cons .ppt covers these variables and some design solutions.
View: Moodle Course Format Pro and Cons .ppt (This is a Collaborative Powerpoint, contributions welcome).
Long story short SWSI has different approaches to strike a balance between flexibility and maintenance of learning design and quality control in Moodle 1.9.7 administration, I’ve added these to the FLN wiki for feedback, input is welcome.
