16. Use of Activities in Moodle
Asynchronous online discussions (Forums)
• Reflection and analysis via carefully constructed
questions
• Need guidelines and facilitation to keep the
activity focused on the goals/objectives of the
lesson (instructor to model at the beginning of the
course, and then students can have opportunity
to create discussion questions and facilitate)
• Feedback in the form of a grade, or as a
summary of the discussion topic

17. Use of Activities in Moodle
Case study (Forum, Assignment, Turnitin)
• Analysis, synthesis, and application of course
content through responses and interaction
• Students could post their answers, and then it
becomes the basis for an online discussion

18. Use of Activities in Moodle
Group assignment (Wiki, Forum, Assignment,
Turnitin)
• Small groups construct a solution to a given
problem, and demonstrate their understanding
through some sort of digital presentation (can be to
whole class)
Debates (Wiki, Forum, Voice Activity, video
upload through Assignment or Forum)
• Teams discuss a controversial topic/article in a
structured forum, each taking a position
• Promotes analysis and synthesis

19. Use of Activities in Moodle
Self-check activities
• A Quiz that is marked by Moodle
• A Q & A forum where the students can only see
the Instructor’s post/correct answer (and all other
students’ answers) after they post their thoughts
first
• An Assignment where the students can get
participation marks for completing it, and then the
Instructor can post the answers as a
file/document so they can check their own work

20. Creating Groups

21. Creating Groups

22. Groups and Groupings
Use Groups in Moodle, to assign a particular activity (or
all course activities) to groups of students.
Groups can be especially useful for activities where
students interact with one another. With forums, wikis,
and databases, students in the same group can post and
reply only to each other.
Each group member always works in their own group, but
you can control whether or not they can see contributions
of members of other groups.
Groupings are a collection of groups, and you can
assign activities to specific groupings as needed.

23. Assignments
• Separate students by groups
• Use an anti-plagiarism plugin
(Turnitin)
• Audio files (Poodll plugin)
• Restrict access

39. Getting Feedback: Feedback
The feedback activity module enables a teacher to
create a custom survey for collecting feedback from
participants using a variety of question types
including multiple choice, yes/no or text input.
Feedback responses may be anonymous if desired,
and results may be shown to all participants or
restricted to teachers only.

41. Getting Feedback: Choice
The choice activity module enables a teacher to ask a single
question and offer a selection of possible responses.
Choice results may be published after students have answered,
after a certain date, or not at all. Results may be published
with student names or anonymously.
A choice activity may be used:
• As a quick poll to stimulate thinking about a topic
• To quickly test students' understanding
• To facilitate student decision-making, for example allowing
students to vote on a direction for the course

42. Getting Feedback: Choice

43. Getting Feedback: Questionnaire
The questionnaire module allows
you to construct surveys using a
variety of question types, for the
purpose of gathering data from
users.

44. Getting Feedback: Survey
The survey activity module provides a number of verified
survey instruments that have been found useful in assessing
and stimulating learning in online environments.
A teacher can use these to gather data from their students
that will help them learn about their class and reflect on their
own teaching.
Note that these survey tools are pre-populated with
questions. Teachers who wish to create their own survey
should use the feedback activity module.
