Every tutor group had a written, asynchronous forum where tutors or students could
raise questions and create new discussion strands. Students worked on their individual
blogs and commented on other people’s blogs; from week four on, they also worked on
a collaborative group wiki about learning German online. Every week concluded with a
short quiz on the Moodle website to allow students to review their learning.
Feedback
Feedback was collected from tutors and students throughout the study and is being used
to analyse the learning needs of students and the training needs of future “Moodle
tutors”. Data was collected by the following means: FlashMeeting recordings and data
analysis, text production (blog, forum, etc.), Moodle log (records of website uses and
access); wiki history; pre- and post-course questionnaires; Moodle feedback forms;
interviews and focus groups after the course ended in February 2007.
