A dangerous myth! Do not assume that just by using technology and having courses online will instantly make your subject somehow more desirable, that students will love your teaching or the content, get better grades etc. Good use of Moodle is all about asking good questions and good, insightful, reflective teaching with the selected tools at hand. And no matter how digitally advanced your students, they will look to you for the human ‘touch’, knowledge and guidance.
Regardless of how technically (un)sophisticated you are in using Moodle, good teaching and built human relationships remain the key to success in using it. There are loads of interactive activities on Moodle. H5P is a suite of tools in Moodle ready to be used where you can create content such as flip cards, interactive videos, flashcards, crosswords, there's even an interactive advent calendar!
Over the coming months Ally and Jan, our Learning Technologists, will be running a series of workshops to show you how to use these tools, together we can make the most of the resources already available to us!
