Initially, I was unable to work on the Moodle activities from the e-learning toolkit as I couldn’t view the “Turn on editing” button. I later found out that I had been enrolled as a student rather than a teacher. However, with that fixed I foraged onwards and upwards starting with the first activity of adding a “simple” welcome webpage. The experience of setting one up was pretty straightforward and was almost akin to following a cookbook recipe. I have to admit though I didn’t get too creative with the name of the course (using the example of “Canadian Literature in the 20th Century” to the letter). In contrast though, the subsequent activity of adding a discussion forum wasn’t as cookie-cutter in its approach as it asked to create a bulleted list of instructions for an Icebreaker activity. After adding some brief instructions asking students to provide an introduction about themselves, I ended up changing roles from teacher\/creator to student as I had to reply to my own message. \ud83d\ude42 Anyways, all in all it wasn’t a labour intensive process and everything seemed to work well. I’ve now got to get cracking into the “official” Moodle user manual which I briefly skimmed through as it appears to be a hefty read. I’m sure there’s more Moodling in store for me as I’ll have to start (and continue to) develop my Moodle online course site (right after the LMS proposal). \ud83d\ude42 <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
