GETTING LOST IN THE BOOK MODULE
Moodle MootSydney, July, 2011
![Page 2: Getting lost in the book module](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062418/554e6a34b4c90545698b4685/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
MOODLE STRENGTHS• mirrors actual classroom practice
(Blended Learning)• allows teachers to
– easily build course content as they go– tailor it to the specific needs of a group of learners
• simple to add and edit content
• Downside: the now legendary toilet paper scroll appearance of many Moodle courses.
• Enter the Book Module– impressive looking content with built-in navigation.

THE PROBLEM:• Often a teacher will get a graphic or instructional
designer to design the Book module for them • this runs the risk of negating one of Moodle’s
strengths – that teachers are easily able to edit content on the fly on their own
• Editing the Book module adds a layer of complexity that may result in a teacher not being able to do this alone, and (once again) being dependent on others to manage their content
• And does the endless scroll actually matter? – Is it more important that teachers maintain their independence in
maintaining their content and have slightly less impressive looking courses?
