| 10 Dec | I had a hard time figuring out where things were at first...and the links take SO long to load... |
| 09 Dec | It's helpful to always have a place you can find an assignment even when you lose the hard copy. |
| 09 Dec | I found it very easy to use without a lot of instructor guidance, and I'm not very good with computers. |
| 09 Dec | I wish that I was told how to use moodle more clearly at the outset of the course. |
| 09 Dec | noooooo. too many options, and not clear where to put what. so unclear what was due, when and where to put it. |
| 09 Dec | Yep, it works great. very self explanitory |
| 09 Dec | Yes, it was well organized and easy to use. |
| 09 Dec | Easy to use, no problems navigating. |
| 09 Dec | Again, some interface design flaws based on Fitt's Law and a few other little things, but all-around presentable. |
| 09 Dec | i even put the language to icelandic for kicks and had no problem navigating it. |
| 09 Dec | the 'resources' button could have been bigger and in the center of the menu |
| 09 Dec | it was hard to find course material |
| 08 Dec | It was helpful if I missed certain aspects of lectures and wanted to print out hard copies of articles needed to be read for class. Also since it ivolves the class calendar and other helpful resources I used the program often. |
| 08 Dec | It was really nice to use moodle when the prof. posted class lectures and articles that we needed to read. However, when I used blackboard I knew that there was a way to post notes to the prof. and other students and a way for them to respond. If moodle can do this, I guess I'm just not educated enough with the program to use it properly. |
| 08 Dec | Moodle is so easy my grandmother could use it! |
| 08 Dec | As long as the teacher keeps it updated and site listings organized. It is very natural and simple to use. |
| 08 Dec | It was great to look on Moodle for class assignments and articles we need to read instead of going to the library. |
| 08 Dec | It did not seem intuitive what its powers were, and how much the professor was actually using. I would have liked to be able to help my professor use it more effectively, but couldn't figure out how it worked. |

| 10 Dec | it was nice to know what reading I had so that I could schedule it in at a convenient time. |
| 09 Dec | If you miss a class you know what you missed without having to ask. |
| 09 Dec | That made it really easy to see when assignments were due, and what was coming up in the course. |
| 09 Dec | i agree, but it wasn't reliably there. and it wasn't all in one place. so frustrating |
| 09 Dec | Yes, that was very helpful. It made it easy to find things. |
| 09 Dec | yes that was nice to see it by its self |
| 09 Dec | It was hard when these changed around |
| 09 Dec | of course. syllaabi can be lost and this was a very approachable organized forum. |
| 09 Dec | I don't think we used that |
| 09 Dec | Most teachers didn't utilize this option. |
| 08 Dec | I abosolutely needed to be able to see these contents at all times. |
| 08 Dec | The topic outline organization greatly helped organize the powerpoints for studying for tests. Although, within the topics, sometimes I got confused about which powerpoints where which. |
| 08 Dec | Because we generally got behind the outline, which was not updated, it wasn't very easy to follow. |
| 08 Dec | Made it easier to search for assignments when clicking on the weeks. |
| 08 Dec | This comment is in regards to #7 above. I marked my answer as a #3, but I should also point out that I rarely actually checked moodle in response to an emailed annoucement about and update. I was much more apt to delete the email as a cluttering nuisance |
| 08 Dec | except that my professor didn't use it. |

| 18 Dec | Yes, we did submit assignments online. The teacher recieved ours, but it did not show up on the page the way the other groups' assignments did. |
| 11 Dec | Maybe for some types of assignments, but my math homework is usually hand-written, which wouldn't work well online. |
| 10 Dec | argh! |
| 09 Dec | I did submit assignments this way, and I really liked it. |
| 09 Dec | what does this question mean? badly written |
| 09 Dec | I did submit them online. it worked great. |
| 09 Dec | yes that would be nice |
| 09 Dec | I did submit my assignments online, and it was fun. |
| 09 Dec | did submit them online |
| 09 Dec | did submit them online |
| 09 Dec | i think that if i needed to do this email is just as effective. further, i prefer hard copy assignments, and the prof would have to print the assignment off for 35 students anyway, wasting their own time and resources. besides, i want a hardcopy back, with comments for all my work. |
| 09 Dec | If it actually worked. |
| 09 Dec | submitted some assignments online |
| 08 Dec | Makes life a little easier since my generation is becoming more machine inclined. |
| 08 Dec | I feel like turning in a hard copy is a way to make sure that there is no fault except the student's for not getting in an assignment on time. I think turning in electronic assignments can sometimes cause problems if the address is typed in incorrectly or otherwise. |
| 08 Dec | I do not use Micro$oft word. |
| 08 Dec | No, I dont like the idea of handing in assigment online. I like moddle to view things like powerpoints and resources--but I stil like to hand in assigments by hand. |
| 08 Dec | It is absolutely imperative that we reduce the paper usage on campuses across the world and Moodle is an integral asset in accomplishing these goals. |
| 08 Dec | I would like to submit my papers online, but I'm not sure about tests. |
| 08 Dec | It would save lots of paper |
| 08 Dec | yes, but I'm not sure it would have been all that practical for this course. Most of our assignments were worksheets. |
| 08 Dec | A built-in PDF creator or HTML viewer would be great. I had some trouble with formatting issues with the sending of essays. There are free ghostscript/PDF creators that you can run on the Linux/Unix/whatever server. |

| 18 Dec | One thing I didn't like was that because the instructors posted their powerpoint presentations on Moodle, they included all that information on the exams, even though it was more information than we could have written down in our notes, without using Moodle. |
| 13 Dec | i liked the weekly outline, it loaded info slowly most of the time |
| 12 Dec | I liked being able to go back and get class notes or things that I had missed in class, but I wish that the grades would have truly been kept up (for the entire semester there was only one grade posted). |
| 10 Dec | Best: Resources Least: n/a |
| 10 Dec | Best: the fact that I could ask questions and ppl would send me answers back faster than if I had tried to call and/or visit them. Least: the fact that I had to find a computer and wait forever for it to load before I could find out what my assignment was for that particular day. |
| 10 Dec | test review material |
| 10 Dec | um what was there was good. would have liked all class notes to be there before during and after the pertinent class but that was up to the teacher's disgression. |
| 09 Dec | i liked the resources, but grades were not posted and that would have been helpful. |
| 09 Dec | The access to our professor's lecture images was the best part. |
| 09 Dec | good way to cut overhead on course costs |
| 09 Dec | it was easy to use when it worked |
| 09 Dec | I liked the daily display format, how it showed latest updates, pretty much everything |
| 09 Dec | having access to images online was the best |
| 09 Dec | Best: Didn't have to buy books Worst: Wasted a lot of paper from the computer lab |
| 09 Dec | The fact that my late assingments wouldn't be graded. |
| 09 Dec | best...the uploading was usually easy and direct. least....journals because sometimes they were all viewable in one place and sometimes they weren't, sometimes they were closed and sometimes they weren't. frustrating |
| 09 Dec | Best- i like how everything was centrally located. things are easy to find. I like posting things online and how you can edit them if you need to before they are due. I like having the grades section. least-when we view the journal page it shows the entire journal and feedback instead of just a link to the journal. It takes a long time to load. If it was a link it would be better. Also it would be nice if moodle had drop boxes like chef. |
| 09 Dec | i liked all the different tabs. they were al useful. sometimes it was very slow....no good |
| 09 Dec | The ability to upload assignments. The inability to know whether or not an assignment has been graded, or the teacher simply hasnt gotten to it. |
| 09 Dec | I liked the easiness of finding out what we needed to do for a particular day. |
| 09 Dec | Best: localized course management system Least: design flaws, bugs, slow connectivity |
| 09 Dec | I liked the easiness of finding out what we needed to do for a particular day. |
| 09 Dec | having access to everything anytime i wanted |
| 09 Dec | the grade feature was annoyingly not working. there needs to be like an excel-looking matrix with just the dates. quicker loading would be good. simplify. and why that heinous pink. it makes me anxious. it looks like errant pepto-bismaly epidermis. |
| 09 Dec | turning work on-line... could work out of class |
| 09 Dec | class outline for the whole week |
| 09 Dec | liked the ability to check grades and look at assignments. hated not being able to post things or communicate with group members easily. |
| 09 Dec | I liked how you could look at the assignemts and grades. |
| 09 Dec | Being able to see my grades and feedback and assignments |
| 09 Dec | able to see real-time feedback on assignments, access grades 24-7, and always able to check on the assignment due |
| 09 Dec | assignments - submitting with this system was easy and useful, grades - nice to be able to check and keep up with status |
| 09 Dec | l iked how you could put links onto the toolbar and such, there wasnt much that i didnt like about moodle |
| 09 Dec | lecture notes |
| 09 Dec | I enjoyed how the assignments were visable immediately. I did not like how things took so long to load |
| 09 Dec | the weekly calendar system and the easy journal/file uploads |
| 09 Dec | It was nice to access information for tests, it was all in one place so that was helpful |
| 09 Dec | i felt pretty neutral about "moodle". I like my prof putting the lectures images and syllabus online. This could have been accomplished with a website too. The approachable quality of class content online was what i liked. if it makes sense to store this information in a single, earlham wide forum, like moodle, then props. keep it. |
| 09 Dec | it was difficult to read resources from the computer, most people printed them out and it was a waste of paper. if we had a handout packet it could have been printed on both sides and saved paper and the hassle of printing out all the documents |
| 09 Dec | i did not like using a system like moodle. not necessaryily moodle spacificaly but more as a general dislike for such a system |
| 09 Dec | I could access the readings whenever I wanted to. |
| 09 Dec | I liked the availability and the expectation of students to take care of themselves and use it as needed for their own personal needs. |
| 09 Dec | I liked getting study materials for tests. I did not like the fact that the websites/files/powerpoint presentations never worked. |
| 09 Dec | the ability in moodle to submit assignments was good for some of our assignments. the little security check my computer has to do through before loading each page was a little annoining. |
| 09 Dec | powerpoint slides |
| 08 Dec | course data |
| 08 Dec | Posted files |
| 08 Dec | best- easy to access/usful place for information least- not alll classes used it |
| 08 Dec | again, the ability to get information from class I missed and articels. |
| 08 Dec | I liked how it was broken down by the week and how there were links to access the powerpoints that had class lectures on them. It was also a very helpful way to post articles the students needed to read without having to waste paper by handing out a bunch of copies. |
| 08 Dec | best: links to research resources, updated syllabi least: no link to moodle from earlham website |
| 08 Dec | Being a Linux user, I do not like having to download Micro$oft word files that could easily be exported as RTF files or even plain text. Openoffice works, but I use it as a last resort. Rewrite question number 5, since you didn't have a text box for a response, it seems presumptuous to think that just because I didn't need any help with Moodle, that makes it incredibly easy to use. Being a Computer Science major with a high proficiency in computers, I understand things that others don't and things like Moodle make more sense to me. Our professor told us that some students were having difficulty with Moodle, and this didn't suprise me at all. --Daniel Arvesen --arvesda@cs.earlham.edu |
| 08 Dec | The only thing I really used Moodle for was to check weekly assignments. I think the webboard would be nice too, except no one else used it. |
| 08 Dec | I liked viweing powerpoint. |
| 08 Dec | I liked the fact that our reading were there and we could print them out if we felt necessary, or we could just read them and conserve paper. |
| 08 Dec | My favorite part of moodle was definitely the profile option. I found it so liberating to post a photograph to represent my online persona! I also enjoyed viewing the "avatars" of others, not to mention being able to see when the last time everyone logged on was. My least favorite part of moodle was that I had to log in every single time. After the first few times, typing in my password got so tiring that if it weren't for the awesome services moodle provided, I wouldn't have had the heart to do it. |
| 08 Dec | I liked getting the powerpoints off of Moodle. |
| 08 Dec | being able to look up the information I needed at the drop of a hat. |
| 08 Dec | easy to get papers to read. not really any negative aspect. |
| 08 Dec | liked being able to have powerpoint presentations on it |
| 08 Dec | The fact that the student visually saw what the professor was referring to in class. This was a good outline of the material covered and we could write notes on it during class. It also was a teaching aid in studying for exams. What I didn't like was when there were technical difficulties accessing the material (technical issues which didn't happen too often). |
| 08 Dec | I liked having the feature of having all the homework assignments in one place. I did not like the grading assessment as it was never accurate. |
| 08 Dec | i like that i can look at notes from class lectures and get articles to read for assignments |
| 08 Dec | best: always available, easy to access, straightforward |
| 08 Dec | the fact that I could read things online instead of printing them out, however, most of the resources/articles were so long that I began to get eye-strain when I read them on a computer screen for too long. I really do read better by having printed copies of things, and unfortunately we can't rig the printers to print double sided to conserve paper. |
| 08 Dec | Word documents should not display when I click them. They should download, and not be displayed in-line. |
| 08 Dec | the teacher would tell us one thing and moodle said another. it was confusing. |

| 12 Dec | I think it would have been helpful to have postings from those in the class (questions or concerns) and then responses from other classmates and/or TAs and the prof when they had time |
| 10 Dec | no |
| 10 Dec | no. |
| 10 Dec | practice test/quiz questions |
| 10 Dec | not right now. |
| 09 Dec | maybe for discussions, or posting reaction papers/journals |
| 09 Dec | no |
| 09 Dec | Nothing that could be done by the operators of Moodle, but there are some things that teachers could have done differently. |
| 09 Dec | No. |
| 09 Dec | If it had drop boxes it would have been more useful for the group project. But otherwise there I can't think of anything else. |
| 09 Dec | no...i think it was good. |
| 09 Dec | allowing students to transfer files to each other using moddle. |
| 09 Dec | no. |
| 09 Dec | No. |
| 09 Dec | no. |
| 09 Dec | it was messy at the begining, but at the end of the semester it was more organized |
| 09 Dec | to discuss with other students out of your view. like a student only message board. but really, viewable to nonstudents. interactive discussions with T.As!!!! |
| 09 Dec | n/a |
| 09 Dec | no |
| 09 Dec | offer a chat options for classmates logged in to be able to communicate through moodle -- for help/ questions on assignments. |
| 09 Dec | ? |
| 09 Dec | no sure |
| 09 Dec | handing in assignments |
| 09 Dec | no |
| 09 Dec | in order to submit papers/assignments |
| 09 Dec | Maybe for posting grades? |
| 09 Dec | No |
| 09 Dec | No |
| 08 Dec | No |
| 08 Dec | No |
| 08 Dec | no |
| 08 Dec | The professor didn't put our grades in which would have been helpful to see how I was doing throughout the course. |
| 08 Dec | I think that Kathy made use of Moodle in a very effective way. It was the only time I've used moodle so I'm not sure how other profs are making use of it. |
| 08 Dec | we never used it for discussion groups; this could have helped us share information about good secondary sources for papers or ideas on our readings, possibly |
| 08 Dec | No, and I would have preferred my teacher just telling me what the assignment was in class instead of telling me to check it on Moodle. |
| 08 Dec | no |
| 08 Dec | My instructors used Moodle to the fullest! I am so happy that they posted readings to Moodle because it gave me the option to read them online, or print them myself for a hard copy. It was also nice to have everything in the same place so that I could access everything from anywhere on (or off!) campus |
| 08 Dec | maybe some more notes/resources on what we covered? |
| 08 Dec | would have liked the grades on Moodle to be updated, that would have been nice to be able to check our grades and the like |
| 08 Dec | I can't think of any. |
| 08 Dec | Maybe posting our test grades, both letter and percent and having an available reference to be able to refer back to of what the range of points was for say an A or B or C etc. |
| 08 Dec | posting grades for every assignment so we can check our grade in the class. |
| 08 Dec | no |
| 08 Dec | If it handled my login for the databases automatically--I went to Moodle to access Proquest/Historical New York Times database, because a link was provided there. It didn't identify me as being from Earlham's IP, which was a problem when trying to access the resources from home. If Sandrine (sanossa) could have used multiple sections more, that would have made it easier to find things. |
| Date | Response |
|---|---|
| 18 Dec | Moodle was responsive, but I was unable to access pdf files because I do not have Adobe or another reading software. |
| 12 Dec | I live off campus and did not have the internet at home |
| 11 Dec | ..because of my wonderful 28.8 modem connection at home. |
| 09 Dec | I agree that it was as responsive, but not as accessable. I have it saved to my toolbar on my computer, but in the labs for some reason I had trouble with the URL, so I would have to go to Earlham's website and do a search for it. |
| 09 Dec | NO- with wireless it sucked |
| 09 Dec | Lab was faster. But not much faster. |
| 09 Dec | it was a little quicker here in the lab. |
| 09 Dec | There were times when the damn thing wouldnt let me log in from my dorm, and couldnt access it from the emails sent when the teacher posted feedback. |
| 09 Dec | Even worse in the dorms. Traffic can be seen from infected Windows machines all the time, and NetSquid seems to not catch them. Lines are permanently saturated with activity on all student lines, while the faculty lines maintain a relatively small load. Dell-made switches in all buildings have well-documented issues with persistantly high traffic, and lock up regularly every weekend (9:00 pm Friday). When they are up, download speeds are roughly 1.5kBps. -- Methinks it is time for ECS to drastically reduce the number of infected machines. |
| 09 Dec | internet in to dorrm did not work at all |
| 09 Dec | faster in classroom, but then the ethernet's supposed to be slower in the dorms. |
| 09 Dec | i have wireless in a campus house, which never is as responsive as the landlines the computer labs have. The campus houses need more reliable internet. I want to use ethernet again. |
| 09 Dec | I like in Norwich, and sometimes have difficulty getting online, and therefore, difficulty in checking moodle. |
| 09 Dec | Don't have a comp in my dorm room. |
| 08 Dec | I don't think I ever accessed moodle from the computer labs. |
| 08 Dec | I never used it in the lab |
| 08 Dec | Not a lab class. |
| 08 Dec | Moodle always loaded very quickly, even in my lab sessions when there were over twenty people logging on at once. It really blew my mind. |
| 08 Dec | Even though I do live in a dorm room, I do not like the format of this question because it assumes that everyone lives in the dorms. It should be restructured. |
| 08 Dec | My computer has been dead all semester, so I might have read things in my room more often than printing them if I'd been able to view them in my room with my music, etc. Then again, maybe not. |
| 08 Dec | It was too slow from both locations. Always prioritize the traffic, or use a client that starts an SSH connection to connect to Moodle. (if you can only prioritize based on protocol) |
