Moodle is a free Course Management System (CMS)that many teachers are using to create online courses for their classes. With the outcome features students can complete tasks on Moodle and receive a grade that the teacher can then use in their grade book. This is good for students as well because they can easily monitor their progress as they complete various activities and desired outcomes. These outcomes can be grades or statements of completion, something students can think of as a list and check them off as they go.
My comment:
Amanda, this system described here reminds me of the Accelerated Reading (AR) tests that my children used to take when they finished certain books they read. The tests would evaluate whether the student’s comprehension of the book was sufficient enough to continue to another book. Whatever grades the student received would be the grade entered into the teacher’s grade book.
I know that I am happy tools such as this exist because it will help me to create lesson plans in the future when I become an instructor. I definitely like the idea of the Hot Potatoes tool as it seems very versatile and I’m sure there is a feature that allows one to print out the exercises, crosswords, etc. created.
