  1. Using Moodle as a Learning Management System in the ELA Classroom By: Debby Caven Digital Touch Education

  2. What is Moodle? • Modular Object-Oriented Dynamic Learning Environment • Moodle is an Open Source Course Management System (CMS), also known as a Learning Management System (LMS) or a Virtual Learning Environment (VLE). It has become very popular among educators around the world as a tool for creating online dynamic web sites for their students. • Moodle is free to download, change, share, improve and customize to whatever YOU want it be.

  3. What is Moodle? (cont.) • Moodle has features that allow it to scale to very large deployments and hundreds of thousands of students, yet it can also be used for a primary school or an education hobbyist. • Many institutions use it as their platform to conduct fully online courses, while some use it simply to augment face-to-face courses (known as blended learning).

  4. What is Moodle? (cont.) • Many of our users love to use the activity modules (such as forums, databases and wikis) to build richly collaborative communities of learning around their subject matter (in the social constructionist tradition), while others prefer to use Moodle as a way to deliver content to students and assess learning using assignments or quizzes.

  33. Moodle & Lit Circles • Moodle.org: • Basic literature circles have a number of jobs. Mine have 4 core jobs and an accessory job: Discussion Director, Illustrious Illustrator, Literary Luminary, and Creative Connector. (Students also complete Word Wizard.) • When students complete their weekly job, they go to the Moodle site to post their job in a forum. Once that is complete, students must post comments.
