Moodle Man session reflection

The Moodle Man, Julian Ridden is with us for a week and I was fortunate to attend one of his sessions. Here are some key points from his session:
  • Pedagogy of offline  and online courses remain the same - only the delivery method has changed
  • Moodle has been used as a "repository" in most academic institutions -  content is created with assessment around i - Dump and Run courses
  • Breaching standards vs reducing retention
Some learning design approaches for Moodle
  • Linear Flow vs Adaptive Flow
  • Game based learning = offer Carrots
  • Narrative based learning = storytelling
  • Trick is finding the "balance"
  • Build two courses; one for low bandwidth and the other for high bandwidth
  • Engagement is not bells and whistles
  • Is there a way of building flexibility into our course design?
