#69 - Use Padlet in Moodle to gather anonymous student feedback
Challenges
-
Students may feel constrained to contribute via a forum if their posts are not anonymised
- Moodle forums do not allow for anonymous posting
Solution overview
Padlet is an online noticeboard that has the option to have non-attributable 'posts' added.
This empowers students who might not otherwise engage due to concerns about privacy, to add their own feedback, suggestions, and ideas.
Padlets can be embedded into Moodle.
Warwick has its own Padlet at https://warwick.padlet.com
