Moodle

Have you looked, we mean, truly looked at your Moodle space recently? Is your content still relevant, up to date, and interesting to students?

Have you been avoiding having a sort out?

Ahead of Moodle rolloverLink opens in a new window, which normally takes place mid-July, why not access your course page and tile and have a look to see what content is in there. Are there any new resources that could replace a boring PDF or PPP? Is there a snappy video that you could use from the RLO bank?

Or better yet, create your own? Don't know how? Book on one of our sessionsLink opens in a new window to learn more.

Here is a short video on how to edit a page/section in Moodle.

Think outside the box

Vevox

Want to increase engagement during your next synchronous online lecture? Try Vevox!

Vevox is a personal response system (PRS) for enabling responsive teaching, peer learning and active learning in large-group teaching. PRS allows individual students to respond to questions and make contributions, anonymously or not (the teacher decides), even when they are in large classes.

It is fun to use and supports active learning

Anonymous participation removes fear of judgement and increases participation

Helps tutors to gauge comprehension and identify gaps in students' knowledge

To learn more about Vevox complete the mini course here https://moodle.warwick.ac.uk/mod/book/view.php?id=1031887Link opens in a new window or sign up to one of our Summer training sessions.

Padlet

Want to make your sessions more engaging? Then give Padlet a go!

Padlet enables you to create online boards where students, tutors and colleagues can share and collaborate. Select from a variety of board types: wall, shelf, canvas, stream, timeline, map and grid.

Padlet is fun, interactive and versatile. Post text, multimedia, files, audio recordings, locations and more. Use Padlet to facilitate discussions, group work, Q&A, idea gathering, resource sharing, and thought mapping.

H5P interactive content

H5P is integrated with our Moodle system, so you can add content types (activities) directly into your Moodle course space via the Activity Chooser. H5P activities can be tracked to monitor student progress and for activities that require scoring, the results are recorded in the Moodle Gradebook.

Below are just some of the fun actvities you can create with H5P.

Find the Hotspot https://warwick.ac.uk/fac/soc/cte/students-partners/academictechnology/academictechnologies/otherat/h5p/modules/imagevideo/hotspotLink opens in a new window

Why and when would you use H5P?

Develop interactivity and engagement within Moodle as a way of combining resources, including images, video, text, audio, links, and files into a structured sequence that may be navigated by the student - adding commentary and text notes to enhance their value.

Share small bitesize activities with your learners to self-evaluate their learning and receive formative feedback.
Use the tool to create flipped learning content.
Create revision activities for your learners.
