Best Practices with Lesson Activity
Here are some of the best practices from our experience on using this Lesson Activity in
classroom:
1. The students need to be given with the link of Moodlecloud and asked to enroll in the
course atleast before 10 days.
2. The student has to view the LeDs and LxTs and complete the LbD with 5 days and they
need to create their own quiz and discussion forum in their moodle cloud.
3. The student can initiate Think – Pair – Share through discussion forum (assisted by e-mail)
for which participation marks can be awarded by observing their posts and questions.
4. They can make the Team presentation in the class demonstrating their quiz and forum as
well as their challenges met.
5. The student will be evaluated both on Presentation and participation in Quiz.
6. The student and the consumer feedback will be evaluated with Grade Report and Feedback
option in Moodle.

Section 6: Building a Community of
MOODLE and Flipped Classroom
Adopters
Possible Sources for Community Building
Some of the sources through which the community can be built are
• Teachers of Schools or the Faculty members of College / Higher education Institutions
who adopt Moodle for their Teaching Learning Endeavours.
• Teaching communities involved in developing Flipped Classroom Models.
Plans for Community Building
The interested people can view the website and through which they can access my moodle site and
enroll them with their e-mail.
Through the discussion forum and e-mail sharing option (in moodle site) they can be added as part
in the communities and can be strengthened through further communications relating new inclusion
in the Moodle site and the wordpress site.
