Why this?

There is no single, quality source to gather research about Moodle (and LMS/VLE in general, with mentions of Moodle). A page one can point to when asked: 'What does the research say about Moodle?'

What to include?

Links to pieces of quality academic research about design and use of Moodle and LMS/VLE in general. This includes papers, articles, reports, theses, case studies, videos and similar material. See How to include? section on the format.

What NOT to include?

Blog posts (unless highly relevant and contain quality references [>3 as a base] to this topic), tutorials, 'how to' videos, newspaper articles (if a study quoted, go to the original source instead)

How do I cite the work?

You will not lose any credit if you don't cite works with absolute precision to Harvard or APA style. ;-)

Simply mention the author(s), date, title, source of publication and a link to publication for others to access. Something like this will do just fine:

Smith, J (2011) Research review of Moodle in educational institutions. Moodle Magazine No.1/Spring 2011

Can I annotate and explain more about the work(s) I list?

Please do, but NOT on this page or it will become huge. Create a new wiki page for it, like this:

  • Type in the title of the work as the last part of the URL:

Talk Moodle research - MoodleDocs.jpg

and hit Enter/Return - your page will be instantly created, edit as much as you like!

Here is an example.
