New Moodle Courses Available
by Randy Orwin - Wednesday, 20 April 2011, 11:40 PM
 
Hello to everybody,

I am proud to announce that we at Orwin Consulting are now teaching online Moodle courses. We are currently offering the following courses:
You can view the full calendar of events at: http://orwinconsulting.com/calendar-training/2011-05 or just go to the training and PD page at http://orwinconsulting.com/training-and-professional-development.

All of the courses are approximately four weeks in length and have both synchronous and asynchronous components. Along with the mechanics of using Moodle there will be a great deal of discussion around teaching practice and pedagogy and, of course, lots of hands on experience.

For those that aren't really comfortable with technology, we have developed our Computer Cowards series. These courses go at a slower pace and include lots of hand holding smile Please check them out!

We will be offering up an a la cart menu of webinars on specific Moodle modules in the near future so check the site for the latest information. We look forward to seeing you in one of our courses.

Choice ==> Select Authors

Middle school literature / English teachers in Kent loved the Moodle Choice module. Presented to them as a way to increase student buy-in at the start of a project or unit, Choice also seemed to them a way to solve a challenge they'd faced:

How to get kids to choose authors, no more than 2 kids per author (always in the past 15 kids would want the first author, or the one whose name they knew; and other authors would not be picked at all).

Solution: Create a Choice -- Choose "Enable" under "Limit the number of responses allowed" -- give a bit of stem-text, such as "Please choose your author below" -- and type in author-names as answers, plus the number of responses you'll allow for each. Decide on vertical (long list) or horizontal results display; whether / when to show results; and if answers may be updated (can kids vote, then change their minds?).
