Whether in a blended, face to face or online learning environment, a Learning Management System has become an essential learning space. Now more than ever, a LMS is more than simply a space to store and organize information; a LMS has taken on the added role of providing a personalized learning environment with interactivity between student & content, student & teachers, and of course student & student.
Within the Moodle platform there are a countless resources and activities available that can engage and empower your students. Learn how to use features of Moodle to increase interactivity; learn about checklists, forums and Interactive H5P content, and see how this can take your blended or online learning design, teaching and assessment to a whole different level.
