Interactive Moodle for MHS
Options Available for Use in the Classroom
"Partnering" with Moodle in the Classroom
As a schoolwide initiative, we would like to create interactive Moodle courses. Moodle has a variety of activities and resources that students can use to enhance their learning. Mentioned below are a few of the options offered in Moodle. If you are interested in them, and need help with them, please contact Ms. Swiger.
Discussion Forums
Forums are a fantastic way to encourage student interaction in a secure place. Teachers or students can post a discussion topic and respond in a threaded manner. This is also a quick way to assign a completion grade because it is timestamped.
Moodle Quizzes
Quizzes you create are graded by Moodle. You can customize the quiz and have the students take it online within your given parameters. Students have the option of viewing their grades upon completion of the quiz.
Uploading of Assignments
This option allows students to upload their assignments to your Moodle course. This is a great way to stay organized and minimize the amount of paper you take home at the end of the day! This can be found under "Add an Activity."
Feature Resource on Moodle
Moodle Book
A Moodle Book is a great way to organize websites on your course page. It creates a table of contents for your websites and/or PDFs. If this seems interesting to you, please ask for further assistance. To locate a Moodle Book please do the following:
- Turn editing on
- Pick a topic box you'd like to place your book in
- Choose Add a Resource & select book
- Configure the settings & add materials
