Title: 1. Introducing Educational Technology and Moodle
Course: Stage 1 - Getting Started with EdTech

We start Session 1 by confirming our courses for re/design, and then familiarising ourselves with the concept of constructive alignment starting here and continuing throughout the design process.

Please join us for Live Session 1 by clicking on the link below to enter the live conferencing session.

Topic 1 Learning Resources and Activities

Identify your course: Start by undertaking the first part of Activity 1.1: Which course will you redesign and develop? during the live session and later by engaging in the forum. (sync and async) Guidance will be provided from within the forum on what is expected from you. The purpose is to identify the course that you will redesign and develop for blended learning as we go through the training stages.

Then undertake Activity 1.2: Discuss alignment in your own courses by first engaging with your buddy groups and then online within the forum provided. (async)

3. Active learning of the Moodle system functionality is encouraged throughout these course stages - i.e. first try to solve an issue yourself by exploring the system, then see if a question has already been asked and answered in the Moodle FAQs & Tips Forum. If not, contribute your question in the Moodle FAQ & Tips Forum and your facilitator/s or fellow participants will respond as soon as possible.
