An open source course management system used by thousands of educational institutions around the world to provide an organised interface for e-learning, or learning over the Internet. Moodle allows educators to create online courses, which students can access as a virtual classroom.
It began with this man, Martin Dougiamus, who started out as computer science graduate student. He started work in 1986 on early internet and web applications at Curtin University in Australia. Part of his role involved supporting a popular proporietary course delivery software known as WebCT. Like a lot of developers and systems administrators, he was frustrated with the software and his inabilty to hack/extend blackbox. So he decided to pursue a PhD in education, and the title of his thesis was “The use of Open Source software to support a social constructionist epistemology of teaching and learning within Internet-based communities of reflective inquiry.” Developing Moodle was at the heart of his thesis.
Constructivism is a theory of knowledge which argues that humans generate knowledge and meaning from their experiences. Constructivism is not a specific pedagogy. Constructivism is often associated with pedagogic approaches that promote active learning, or learning by doing. Social constructivism encourages the learner to arrive at his or her version of the truth, influenced by his or her background, culture or embedded worldview. Distance learning
So how does Moodle support this model of learning by doing?
