Moodleposium/2009/Williams
From MoodleDocs
Back to Moodleposium/2009, Moodleposium/2009/Day 1
(I was trying to help someone get wireless, so missed notes on the first part)
Jordan Williams teaches creative writing @ UC and talked about use of Moodle in her teaching? Somethings that work and some things that don't.
Jordan Williams
Issues:
- Takes time
- Trying to make use of the Lesson tool
- Creative writing - is it about going off into your own space to write a novel - or building social interconnection?? (Fascinating tension)
- 28/100 students posted Hemingway 6 word self-narratives which created a buzz from Week 1.
- Fora used in a lecturer guided wya.
- Short-story drafts are to be posted - and other students comment on these drafts (as part of assessment)
- Fora were opened and closed weekly - in order to keep up to date on commenting on drafts (rather than leaving it all to the end).
