Instant Rewards of Teaching in Moodle

From "Teaching with Moodle for total beginners"

• saving time and money on photocopying course materials
• less paperwork (or paper marking) to carry with you
• less correcting (marking) overall
• richer and more interactive homework and/or assignments
• formal evaluation of discussion skills and contributions (some students excel here whilst performing poorly elsewhere)
• a wider range of deep-learning activities to stretch more able students
• having all your detailed feedback about the targets you have set stored in the Gradebook automatically, not lost on the one paper copy of the essay, which you handed back to the student.

Moodle Student "Incomplete" Status

Do you have a student who received an "Incomplete" in your Moodle course? Here is our process for accommodating a student with an Incomplete status in a Moodle course:

1) CRITICAL! Make a backup of your Moodle course and include the words "STUDENT_INCOMPLETE" in the filename. This step is important in the event that the student does wish to reattempt the course, so we can restore the backup as a new course shell, with all of their grades intact.

2) RESET your Moodle course.

3) NEXT - If the student contacts you and wishes to finish the course, please contact either Paul or Eric to restore the backed up file (located in the course shell "Files" area).

4) END - Once the student has completed the course, repeat the End of Term processes in the PMC and let the Moodle admins know that this shell can be archived.

This Will Revolutionize Education!

"The foundation of education is still based on the social interaction of teachers and students."

I think this guy is onto something.
