Designing and accompanying courses with Moodle (Moodle basic workshop)

Today, a successful course also includes the integration of digital tools and platforms that enrich university and media didactics. With Moodle, the University of Erfurt has a powerful learning platform with which lecturers can accompany and organise their courses in the digital space - far beyond the provision of PDFs or videos. Among other things, tools for communication, organising group work, collaborative work and obtaining feedback are available here.

In the first part of the workshop, participants will familiarise themselves with the basic functions of the platform, the design options for course rooms and the working materials and tools available in our Moodle. Against this background and on the basis of media and university didactic considerations, we will work out possible scenarios for the role of moodle in courses. At the end of the first part of the workshop, participants will have acquired the tools to create their own course rooms and design them successfully for their own course(s).

The second part of the workshop serves to deepen the knowledge, to reflect on the practical implementation in Moodle to date and to continue working on the course rooms and their content.
