Students Adore Moodle - Moodlerooms Recognized for Helping to Improve Education

Hello fellow Moodlers,

As a Moodleroom Certified Trainer I was extremely happy with the article "Students Adore Moodle" that Phil Shapiro wrote on PC World about Moodlerooms and I would like to share it with you.

The co-founder of Moodlerooms, Sheila Gatling, and the president of Moodlerooms, Tom Murdock, were featured in an article on PC World's Web site. In the article, the writer, Phil Shapiro, asserts that Moodle and Moodlerooms are changing the way people learn.

How much do you know about writing good test questions?

The quiz is based on research literature including Criterion-referenced Test Development by Sharon Shrock and Bill Coscarelli and Validating Multiple-Choice Tests Items by Thomas M. Haladyna. So the guidelines it offers relate to criterion-referenced rather than norm-referenced score interpretations. Different domains might require different approaches. We regard resources like this quiz as a way of contributing to the ongoing process of learning about assessment. In that spirit, we welcome your suggestions and would be happy to modify our current learning resources and/or create new ones to address the needs of other domains.

Moodle 100 for Individuals: Introduction to Moodle

As online student and recently online instructor at Moodlerooms Incorporation, I thought to make a post about Moodle 100. As a result, I would like to share with you the course description and the objectives of Moodle 100.

Moodle 100 is a 10-contact hour or 1.0 CEU instructor-led, interactive online course. It is a prerequisite for all other Moodlerooms Training courses.

Over fourteen (14) consecutive days participants should expect to spend 30 minutes to 1 hour each day completing Moodle 100 activities and preparing to build their Practice Course. Throughout this course there are tasks and assignments to introduce Moodle’s features, basic navigation, course layout and settings, add resources, enroll students, and prepare for course creation in Moodle 101.

During Moodle 100 you will explore Moodle primarily from the perspective of the learner or student while you develop basic Moodle skills, become familiar with the interface, and prepare to build your own course during the next class, Moodle 101 - Course Creation for the Enterprise. This way you will understand Moodle better from the learner's perspective which will inform your instructional design choices later during Moodle 101 when you will explore Moodle primarily from the instructional designer’s or instructor’s perspective.

Pre-requisites: Participants should have basic computer and Internet skills competency to succeed in this course. Before commencing Moodle 100, participants will complete several readiness activities to determine if they're ready to learn online.

By the end of this course, participants will be able to:

• define basic Moodle vocabulary
• navigate a Moodle course using breadcrumbs
• edit profiles and add profile pictures/avatars
• post and reply to a Forum discussion
• create a Glossary entry
• plan and coordinate basic course settings
• integrate course Calendar features
• manage student registration and enrollment
• create and add resources (e.g. text pages, web pages, and labels)
• link to websites and upload files
• aggregate and co-locate digital (and other) Practice Course materials
• begin the planning process for a Practice Course to be developed during Moodle 101
• participate in a Moodle community of practice

Completion of this course makes individuals participating in the Moodlerooms Certified Trainer Program eligible for the One-Star Moodlerooms Trainee (1MRCT) designation.

Participants should have basic computer and Internet skills competency to succeed in this course. Before you commence Moodle 100, please complete this short survey to determine if you're ready to learn online.
