Intermediate Moodle workshop
Who is this for?
We’ll be covering groups and discussion forums and talking about working with submitting & grading assignments online. We can also cover how senior seminars can profitably use Moodle.
When & Where?
Friday January 7th, 9:00 am to 4:00 pm with an hour for lunch.
PC Lab in the Bolling Centre. Refreshments and lunch in the Richmond room
Topics
Here I’ll set up some temporary courses so that faculty can enroll both as students in a course and be the instructor for a course. This way you can see what happens from both teacher and student perspectives.
