This Moodle Course will assist participants in creating online learning experiences for students that engage them with the material. Moodle Lessons and the poll and breakout room features of Zoom will be discussed and demonstrated as tools to build activities that give students increased contact with the material in ways that require critical thinking and construction of knowledge. It is increasingly important for instructors to be able to assess student knowledge and preparedness throughout a course, and this module will present ideas on facilitating online courses with active learning experiences and activities that provide benefits similar to those that can be accomplished in a face-to-face setting. Participants will have an opportunity to build a Moodle Lesson relevant to a course they teach as well as discuss ideas for active learning in their discipline. Through a combination of synchronous and asynchronous activities, this module will demonstrate effective online learning tools and create a collaborative environment to generate ideas to improve the online learning experience for students.
