Activity Modules

Moodle contains a wide range of activity modules that can be used to build up any type of course.

Database Activity

The Database module allows the teacher and/or students to build, display and search a bank of record entries about any conceivable topic. The format and structure of these entries can be almost unlimited, including images, files, URLs, numbers and text amongst other things. You may be familiar with similar technology from building Microsoft Access or Filemaker databases.

Choices

A choice activity is very simple - the teacher asks a question and specifies a choice of multiple responses. It can be useful as a quick poll to stimulate thinking about a topic; to allow the class to vote on a direction for the course; or to gather research consent.

Surveys

The Survey module provides a number of verified survey instruments that have been found useful in assessing and stimulating learning in online environments. Teachers can use these to gather data from their students that will help them learn about their class and reflect on their own teaching.

Questionnaire

The questionnaire module allows you to construct questionnaires (surveys) using a variety of question types, for the purpose of gathering data from users. It is based on phpESP, and Open Source questionnaire tool. See http://phpesp.sourceforge.net

Labels

This is a not a true activity - it is a "dummy" activity that allows you to insert text and graphics among the other activities on the course page.

Forums

This activity can be the most important - it is here that most discussion takes place. Forums can be structured in different ways, and can include peer rating of each posting. The postings can be viewed in a variety for formats, and can include attachments. By subscribing to a forum, participants will receive copies of each new posting in their email. A teacher can impose subscription on everyone if they want to.

GeoGebra

GeoGebra is a free and multi-platform dynamic mathematics software for all levels of education that joins geometry, algebra, tables, graphing, statistics and calculus in one easy-to-use package.

Therefore, the Departament of Education of Catalonia in collaboration with the Catalan Association of GeoGebra (ACG) and the GeoGeobra development team have implemented this module that allows the incorporation of GeoGebra activities in Moodle. Its main features are:

Allows embedding easily GeoGebra activities in some Moodle course.
Facilitates students tracing because it stores the score, date, duration and construction of each of the attempts made by the users.
Students can save the state of the activities to continue them later.

Glossary

This activity allows participants to create and maintain a list of definitions, like a dictionary.

The entries can be searched or browsed in many different formats.

The glossary also allows teachers to export entries from one glossary to another (the main one) within the same course.

Finally, it is possible to automatically create links to these entries from throughout the course.

JClic

JClic is a project of the Catalan Ministry of Education. It consists of a set of open source software applications that allow for the creation of several types of multimedia educational activities: puzzles, association games, text activities, crosswords, wordsearch games and more. Besides, the ClicZone offers a repository where more than a thousand activities are displayed. It has been created by teachers and other professionals who want to share their work with others.

This module will show teachers how to add JClick activities to any course and how to track pupils' results (time spent on each of the activities, number of tries, score...)

Lesson

A lesson delivers content in an interesting and flexible way. It consists of a number of pages. Each page normally ends with a question and a number of possible answers. Depending on the student's choice of answer they either progress to the next page or are taken back to a previous page. Navigation through the lesson can be straight forward or complex, depending largely on the structure of the material being presented.

JPG Slideshow

This module is a simple activity which allows the user to view a set of images using thumbnails.

Select the directory which contains the image files (png, gif or jpg format)

Teachers will see a link to a special page that allows them to edit titles and captions for the pictures.

A warning will appear for teachers if there are filesizes which are larger than the threshold set by admin for this.

Quaderns Virtuals

Quaderns Virtuals és un projecte desenvolupat al Departament d'Educació de la Generalitat de Catalunya que neix amb la voluntat de portar a la Xarxa els Quaderns d'exercicis. És, per tant, l'adaptació d'un recurs didàctic tradicional a un mitjà d'informació i comunicació modern. El projecte neix com a resposta a la necessitat del professorat per facilitar la creació de recursos didàctics multimèdia per a qualsevol nivell i àrea educatius, així com el seguiment i l'avaluació de l'alumnat.

Aquest mòdul permet al professorat fer el seguiment i l'avaluació dels Quaderns dels estudiants, ja que pot consultar en qualsevol moment el seu estat. A més, com es van enregistrant les respostes, l'alumnat té la possibilitat de treballar en diferents sessions els Quaderns assignats. Per a cada Quadern, es pot determinar l'aparença, el nombre màxim de lliuraments o si vol mostrar la retroacció (feedback), entre d'altres.

Quizzes

This module allows the teacher to design and set quiz tests, consisting of multiple choice, true-false, and short answer questions. These questions are kept in a categorised database, and can be re-used within courses and even between courses. Quizzes can allow multiple attempts. Each attempt is automatically marked, and the teacher can choose whether to give feedback or to show correct answers. This module includes grading facilities.

Resources

Resources are content: information the teacher wants to bring into the course. These can be prepared files uploaded to the course server; pages edited directly in Moodle; or external web pages made to appear part of this course.

SCORM/AICC Packages

A package is a bundle of web content packaged in a way that follows the SCORM or the AICC standard for learning objects. These packages can include web pages, graphics, Javascript programs, Flash presentations and anything else that works in web browsers. The Package module allows you to easily upload any standard SCORM or AICC package and make it part of your course.

Assignments

Assignments allow the teacher to specify a task that requires students to prepare digital content (any format) and submit it by uploading it to the server. Typical assignments include essays, projects, reports and so on. This module includes grading facilities.

Wikis

A Wiki enables documents to be authored collectively in a simple markup language using a web browser.

"Wiki wiki" means "super fast" in the Hawaiian language, and it is the speed of creating and updating pages that is one of the defining aspects of wiki technology. Generally, there is no prior review before modifications are accepted, and most wikis are open to the general public or at least to all persons who also have access to the wiki server.

The Moodle Wiki module enables participants to work together on web pages to add, expand and change the content. Old versions are never deleted and can be restored.

This module is based on Erfurt Wiki.
