Case Study – Boris
by Heather Wik ~ July 4th, 2011. Filed under: Tech Reflections.Boris wants to create a stand alone self-directed review tool for his students for learning the Periodic Table, preferably with formative instant feedback. One option for Boris is to create a “lesson” in Moodle. The lesson activity allows teachers to set up and scaffold learning, providing instant feedback for students. Information is presented/reviewed, and then a question is asked. Depending on how the student answers the question, s/he is moved forward if correct, or if incorrect s/he is sent down another path for more review or is forced to stay at the same question until it is answered correctly. If developed well, the lesson activity would provide Boris’s students with great review, instant feedback, and as much detailed assessment as he wants to provide.
Here is a 3 part tutorial for using the lesson activity in Moodle:
