#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.
