Building Community with UMMoodle Discussion Forums
22 October
4:00-4:45 PM
Speakers: Dr. Chris Fulton
In this meet-up, strategies for managing hybrid classes will be presented. A useful tool for managing and communicating with learners in small and large classes is the discussion forum. Forums provide a platform for learners to not only interact with their instructors and peers but to demonstrate their engagement with course content and ideas.
With a focus on building community, participants will explore:

questions that generate interest in a topic,
activities that create peer-to-peer engagement,
types of feedback,
settings for forums activities in Moodle.

In addition, participants will look at how more effective groups can be set up using the TeamBuilder tool in UMMoodle.

Assessment with UMMoodle Quizzes and Academic Honesty
29 October
4:00-4:45 PM
Online quizzes can be used in small and large classes to increase students’ understanding, provide feedback, and reduce the time instructors need to spend assessing. Unfortunately, there are many settings for quizzes in Moodle. Let us show you how to set up a quiz in UMMoodle. In this session, participants will learn how to set up a quiz that gives students feedback after each question. In addition, we will also share with you a multimedia quiz on UMMoodle, which will help students learn more about Academic Honesty.

Enhancing a Large Course with Moodle’s Activity Completion Function, Reminders and Reporting Functions
5 November
4:00-4:45 PM
As students click on UMMoodle to get files and read announcements, trace data, is being generated. Instructors can make use of this trace data in ways to support learners, improve quiz questions, and see which online activities are used more or less. It is also important to let students make use of this information. However, generating more useful data may require setting up a course site differently. In this session, find out how to use activity completion and other tools in Moodle to enhance a course or use trace data to inform or enhance one’s course design.
