Moodle is meant to be a place where the students are creating the information and working together. Martin Dougiamas Moodle founder Spain MoodleMoot 2013 http://mootes.mediacore.tv/media/martin-kids
Typical Teacher Progression • Resources and SCORM • Passive forums • Quizzes and Assignments • Wiki, Glossary, and Database • Facilitate forums • Activity sequences • External activities • Survey and reflection • Peer review • Sharing in the community
The Problem
