Moodle-Based Teaching as Community Management

By Alexandre Enkerli

Moodle-Based Teaching as Community Management

VTE’s presentation for the Canadian MoodleMoot on October 22, 2015. Description: As a flexible platform based on social constructivism, Moodle allows for deep collaboration between learners and teachers. Through shifts in their roles, teachers can make Moodle into an ideal space for communities of practice. More than a job title, community management is an approach to enabling action by diverse participants. Through simple and not-so-simple techniques (peer-assessment, collaborative writing...) teachers as community managers can promote learners' agency.  After an introduction of key concepts, this participatory session will use concrete scenarios to explore practical and pedagogical implications of using Moodle to build communities.
