Info

Adding Social Activities to Your Course Social course activities encourage student-to-student interaction. Peer interaction is one of the most powerful learning tools that <strong>Moodle</strong> offers. It not only encourages learning, but also exploration. It also makes courses more interesting because students can share their knowledge, which increases student participation and satisfaction. This chapter teaches you how to add social resources to a course, and how to make the best use of them. Chat The Chat module creates a chat room where students can have real-time, online chats. Online chat has some unique advantages over an in-person classroom discussion. Students do not need to deal with a fear of public speaking, transcripts can be edited and used as course material, and conversation can proceed at a leisurely pace that gives participants time to think. The key to using these advantages is preparation. Prepare your students by ensuring that they understand chat room etiquette and know how to use the software. Prepare yourself by having material ready to copy and paste into the chat. And everyone should be prepared to focus on the goals and subject of that chat. More than any other online activity, chat requires that the teacher take a leadership role and guide the students to a successful learning experience. When you add a chat room to a course, any student taking the course can enter that chat room at any time. The chat room can become a meeting place for the students taking the course, where they can come to collaborate on work and exchange information. If you give group assignments, or have students rate other students' assignments, consider adding a chat room to the course and encouraging students to use it. Also, consider saving transcripts of the chat sessions so that they can act as another reference tool for the students.
Adding Social Activities to Your Course When you schedule a Chat, it appears on the course Calendar and is also displayed in the Upcoming events block, as shown in the following screenshot: When the student selects the Chat, they see the Description that you entered when you created the Chat. You can use this Description to advise the student of the purpose of the Chat: When you enter a Chat, it launches in a pop-up window, as shown below. Make sure that your students don't have pop ups blocked. [ 242 ]
