WEEK 2
|
In week 2 we explored the functions of the Resouces available on Moodle. We were asked to create a presentation in order to learn how to use them. I chose Movenote and this is what my terrible cold allowed me to produce:
File: you can add a single file, from a presentation to a pdf file, which students can download.
Folder: it is possible to add a folder, containing all the materials for a course. Or you can provide an empty folder where your students can upload their assignments.
IMS Content Package: this resource allows you to put together different types of files which can be displayed in the various moodle pages. The file type to be uploaded is a zip file.
Label: it's a resource which is ideal to make your Moodle pages more appealing. It enables the insertion of headings, images, embedded sound files or videos on the course page.
Page: this resource helps you create a course page through a text editor. It is ideal for giving instructions.
URL: with this resource you can provide a link to an external webpage. It can be embedded or opened in a new window.
Among the tools suggested this week there is eXeLearning, an Open Source authoring application to assist teachers and academics in the publishing of web content. Resources authored in eXeLearning can be exported in IMS Content Package, SCORM 1.2, SCORM 2004, IMS Common Cartridge formats, ePub3 or as simple HTML5 self-contained web pages.
The second required activity was to create a video tutorial for one of the suggested tools: MoveNote, PresentMe, Screencast-o-matic, SlideSpeech, Jing.
After some struggle (only with myself because the tool is really user-friendly), I finally managed to produce a video tutorial on MoveNote.
These are some of the most interesting and well-done tutorials made by other course participants:
- Jenny's great tutorial on SlideSpeech
- Patrizia's fantastic presentation about Socrative and Nearpod.
