Diez de velasco introduccion a la historia de las religionesPatricio Jofre
Este documento presenta una introducción al estudio de las religiones. Explica que la historia de las religiones es una disciplina académica compleja que aún está en desarrollo, con diferentes enfoques y sin un nombre consensuado. También describe los desafíos iniciales de establecerla como un campo autónomo, separado de la teología o la antropología. Finalmente, analiza brevemente los problemas con denominaciones alternativas como "ciencias religiosas".

The document discusses the history of the children's organization "Atameken" in Kazakhstan. It describes how the organization was originally founded in 1988 by students and teachers in Karakol village who wanted to support local shepherds. This early initiative was noted for its cultural activities. The group was later able to participate in competitions and work at the renowned Artek camp. In the late 1980s, supporters worked to revive "Atameken" as a new organization in Almaty, establishing the first chapter at School No. 112. In 1991, the first republic conference was held, bringing representatives from across Kazakhstan together to help develop "Atameken" further.
Moodle quizzes to improve learning in large first year laboratory classes - UNSWMoodlemootAU2014
This document discusses using Moodle quizzes to improve learning in large first year physics laboratory classes at UNSW. Previously, students would copy each other's preparatory work in the lab manual. Now, students must complete a pre-lab Moodle quiz before each lab, covering the required reading and videos. This ensures students come prepared and allows demonstrators to focus on helping students in lab rather than checking preparatory work. The quizzes have reduced plagiarism and helped labs run more smoothly and efficiently with fewer delays. Moodle quizzes provide formative assessment and feedback to further improve student learning and preparation for labs.

Moodle in the Classroom: An “in the trenches” perspective - Mark BailyeMoodlemootAU2014
A teacher implemented Moodle at a high school to enhance student learning. Initially, Moodle was underutilized with no clear support structure and grades tracked separately in Excel. After redesigning courses to be more visually appealing, relevant, and easy to navigate, engagement and time spent with students increased. A Moodle working group and administrator were created to provide top-down support. The teacher found that tailoring learning activities, monitoring progress, and rewarding engagement helped improve the student experience with Moodle.
- The Waikato Centre for eLearning (WCEL) at the University of Waikato has grown from 3 staff members in 2007 to 6 staff members currently.
- As the capabilities of staff have increased with tools like Moodle, the demands on WCEL's time have also increased with more support calls and a wider range of services offered.
- To better manage support demands, WCEL has transitioned from full-day hands-on workshops to shorter 30-minute workshops focused on specific Moodle topics. Pre-semester introductory workshops and 24/7 online help through MoodleBites allow staff to learn at their own pace.
Establishing Moodle Communities for Peer Support and PD - Kim EdgarMoodlemootAU2014
This document discusses using online communities and Moodle tools to engage users in peer support and professional development. It suggests establishing communities around unrelated topics to allow self-directed, flexible discussion spaces. The nature of work is changing and connectivity through social networks and crowdsourcing can help drive reputation and human capital. Moodle tools like profiles, blogs, badges and forums can facilitate a constructivist approach to community building.
