Create an AssignmentEwa Rzepko – ESOL Lecturer
Assignments are an excellent
way of keeping track of
students’ homework and
progress.
It’s great way of providing
feedback and comments on the
learners’ activities.”

Create QuizzesDorota Beata Matuszyk – Initial assessment Coordinator
Online testing is tremendous for
practicing computer testing, for
immediate feedback and
paperless testing.
I like Quizzes because they
make it so easy to keep a record
of students’ results.”
“
Dorota Beata Matuszyk –
Initial assessment Coordinator
You have different types of questions: Multiple-choice,
Cloze embedded answers, Matching, Description,
Short answer, Essay, True/False, Calculated...
Create a ForumJane Conway - ESOL Tutor
Forum is a fun way of
communicating…
I always take pictures of what
we’ve been up to in class and
then students comment on them
and communicate with each
other in writing.
It’s very visual and immediate
for them and it’s good for their
language skills.”
“
Jane Conway - ESOL Tutor
Recently we were organising
a trip, so I uploaded various
tourist attractions, and the
students went and read about
them.
Then we made a Choice activity
where students vote on the
attraction they’d like to visit.”

Create or use videosElfi Diekmann – Business Lecturer
Videos keep your students
engaged.
It’s ideal for remote teaching,
reviewing in-class materials and
it’s specially handy for absent
students.”

Delicious, Facebook, Flickr...”

Create a pleasant
look and feel Caroline Allan – Graphic Design Lecturer
It’s very important that your
Moodle course looks more
user-friendly.
You can use images.
I normally distinguish each
course unit by using different
colours and detail.”
