Collaborative learning with Moodle

An established edtech, Moodle learning management system (LMS) can support students and educators with their collaborative learning and group communication in a hybrid, blended or online learning environment.

Earlier this year The Australian Council on Open, Distance and E-Learning (ACODE) surveyed ANZ universities on their 2020 experiences of  operating in an online learning environment and a world of virtual classrooms. How did they manage collaborative learning and group-work? One of the key take-outs from the survey was that some institutions have found that their educators are not prepared for creating new learning experiences that support operating in an e-learning environment. Let’s explore how Moodle can help.  

The Catalyst Team has provided Moodle services since 2004

Groups

Using Groups in Moodle allows you to add an additional dynamic to interactive activities: giving groups of students a private or shared space to discuss and collaborate. Depending on the goals you have for an activity, you can determine how public the actions of groups can be.
