Learning Technology Development Unit Moodle @ UCE: Code of Practice My Module
November 2006 Update • 60%+ of academic staff actively using Moodle • 2000+ modules now Moodle enabled • 8000+ logins to Moodle per day • 20,000+ students enrolled on Moodle modules • 100,000+ transactions each day
Module guides, lecture notes and PowerPoint presentations uploaded into Moodle to provide flexible access. • Course management improved by the use of Calendars, Events, News forums etc. USE OF MOODLE In addition to previous uses there is some use of discussion forums, to improve communication and quizzes, journals to improve formative assessment and feedback. USE OF MOODLE Multimedia content uploaded into Moodle to engage learner activity – case studies, simulations, gaming technologies Considerable use of discussion forums and groups to enable problem solving, collaboration and the linking of theory and practise, perhaps linking education with work place. Use of workshops to enable students to share work and peer review Wikis to enable collaboration Regular use of learning journals/blogs. USE OF MOODLE Staff start here? Staff start here? Staff start here? Transforming university education through the use of Moodle TRANSFORMATION AUGMENTATION Transition Transition AUTOMATION • Impact on face to face teaching methods: Much more focus on engaging learner activity, group facilitation and individual mentoring. • Impact on curriculum design: More of the curriculum changed to Problem-based Learning, Experiential Learning. Independent Learning time fully designed and integrated with face to face contact. • Change in underpinning pedagogy: More focus on constructionist pedagogies. IMPACT • Impact on face to face teaching methods: Some change as a reaction to the technology e.g. less didactive teaching because students have already accessed a video lecture • Impact on curriculum design: Major focus is still on what happens in class – little planning of independent learning time. Use of Moodle and face to face teaching not fully integrated • Change in underpinning pedagogy: None IMPACT • Impact on face to face teaching methods: None • Impact on curriculum design: None • Change in underpinning pedagogy: None. Instructivism remains the dominant model. IMPACT
