• Introduction

      Certainly, most of us have once attended a long and boring training session, where the students are merely passive observers and are given little or no opportunities to participate. According to M.G. Moore, three types of interactions are important: Between Learner-learner, between Learner-instructor and between Learner-content. Moodle provides many tools to apply them in practice, and with some additional plugins, you can achieve even more.
    • Social interactions

      Moodle provides many tools to enable social interactions both between students and teachers, as well as students among each other. Our picks: Choice (for its simplicity) and groups (to facilitate learning groups and group messaging and a sense of identity)

      Evaluative interactions

      Each course should evaluate in some way or the other how students experience the course and simply collect feedback. The usual suspects are the feedback activity and the quiz activity. There are many more, but that's a topic for another session.

      Live interactions

      In order to provide a feedback channel and to prevent a passive, "consuming" learning culture, it is important to let learners easily react in a simple, effortless way. Our picks: deft response.
