Moodle Course Design Best Practices
is for people deliberating creating a course with Moodle. This book is a step-by-step guide all the aspects related to setting up an online course. Such a course would make use of multimedia learning materials and interactive quizzes. The course can be self-paced, involving a group with a dedicated teacher or even a Massive Online Course.
"Moodle Course Design Best Practices" explains how to use Moodle features, including gamification features and certificates. The book is clearly targeted towards instructors, who are not necessarily very technical. Quite a lot of attention is given to pedagogical theory. Although "Moodle Course Design Best Practices" is not a very technical book, I enjoyed reading it. The number of pages wouldn't have been enough to cover the technical details anyway. The authors give links to the Moodle docs quite often, so topics like installing Moodle are skipped. -
Moodle Course Design Best Practices
Excellent guide for getting setup and using Moodle, the design of the template suited my needs just fine for learning and I am comfortable with tweaking it to make it my own. This book delivered on every level, my favorite part of the book was the student-teacher interaction setup. It seemed like it would sell the course much more because you are now charging for the time to interact with students so the price can go up accordingly, nothing crazy though. I enjoyed the flow of the book as well, it started out with design and kept going, not skipping a beat. I highly recommend this book if you want to setup a proper course that will attract a student base.
