Learning Management System - Moodle
Moodle has very few limitations to the type of content it could help to teach. Any variety of subjects such as Math, English, Science, History, Business, Psychology, Professional Development, and so much more can be taught using this Learning Management System. The types of pedagogical strategies that one might use are also quite varied. Courses can be offered completely online or in a hybrid format. Lectures can be put into a Moodle course site in the form of audio, video, presentation, or simply written. Discussions can take place in the forums and chats. Activities can be spelled out and explained on Moodle to be carried out online or in a real world situation.
Technologies that would be harder to use with my students/peers:
In my position of Distance Learning and Online Coordinator my students and peers are somewhat synonymous. I oversee the instructors in the online learning program, so for the most part all of the technologies that qualify as an online experience would be put to good use by at least one, if not all of my students/peers.
I can see where you would have a difficult time finding a resource that wouldn’t be usable in an online teaching/learning environment.Over the past 8 years, I have used LearnPort, Moodle, Angel, Blackboard and Edmodo. I’m not sure I can pick a favorite - each one comes with it’s own set of strengths and challenges. However, some are easier to use than others. I personally prefer Blackboard. I have come to appreciate the customized themes and the way the content displays - more like a web page. The down side is that it is fee-based, whereas Moodle is free.
