Moodle, WordPress and Blackboard
June 10, 2008
The following results from a Moodle case study by Educause make interesting reading:
-
Students recommend use of Moodle in future classes (74% agree or strongly agree)
- Students recommend use of blogs in future classes (51% agree or strongly agree)
- Ease of interface navigation: Moodle easier to navigate than WordPress.com
- Students responses to Moodle (majority recommend its use in future and feel they benefited from it)
- Students slightly prefer Moodle over Blackboard
- Students find many Moodle features helpful
Maybe I’m not on such a bad track after all.
Moodle Poodle?
June 9, 2008
Much as I’d love to have complete freedom to choose which social software to use with my students, I’ve decided to go with Moodle for the moment, largely because it’s already being used by several colleagues and seems to be the way the wind is blowing in my institution i.e. management fully supports its use, unlike many of the other more exciting looking web tools I’ve come across on my MA course so far.
Actually, having had a closer look at it over the weekend, it doesn’t seem that bad. I found a useful guide for beginners and some course design tips to get me started and now have an account on the school’s server which is accessible from home. So let’s Moodle!
