1. Utilising Moodle as a space for co-creative
approaches to learning

2. Two framing propositions
While the VLE is
often in the hands of
the academic there is
much that we can do
to allow students to
take creative control
Placing students in the
role of online creators
and curators can do
much to support both
their learning and that
of subsequent cohorts

3. Informed by the 3E Framework

6. Enhance: learners collectively create content
for timely engagement with key concepts

7. Questions forums for group and peer support

8. Debates and polling

9. Extend: Student-led online seminars

10. Bringing guest experts into the classroom
Online guest expert sessions are planned by students in Moodle
then conducted real-time (with recordings then archived in Moodle)

11. Empower: Online collaborative research

12. Next steps in aligning 3E
Framework and Moodle…

13. Thank you
