Course planning

Course Planning

When planning for a course the instructor must first decide how the course will be laid out. For instructors new to Moodle it is often best to begin with the syllabus for the course they are desiring to put into Moodle. The course can be easily designed to accommodate what the instructor has done in the past in their course. More advanced instructors will likely wish to begin with an idea of how they would like things to work within Moodle. But for a new instructor it is often best for them to get their feet wet with the basics of Moodle before jumping into the full design that advanced Moodle instructors will have the ability to do. --Lee Skinkle 21:32, 27 October 2009 (UTC) It is a good idea to break down the course into small chunks maybe a topic at a time. The Syllabus and other realted documents relating to a course/subject, can all be included in Moodle. Various activities that normally form the topic delivery in face-to-face class, can be converted online. Lesson notes in bullet point format, links to further reading (text-book or otherwise), online resources including learning objects, simulations, etc., short quizzes, can all be inluded in Moodle.
