Tech News WFC - Edition 01

September '17

Welcome back to the College!

We will provide a short newsletter for all staff at WFC three times each term.

The purpose of these newsletters is to provide a specific platform for all things e-learning. This includes presenting new ideas, providing support to enhance your teaching and reflecting upon your practice. 

In this edition, we are presenting two new technologies; H5P and the new Moodle assignment marking tool.

We hope you find this initiative useful and would love to hear your feedback and suggestions for future editions.

Thanks,

NEW TECHNOLOGY 1 - #H5p

                                                     www.H5P.org

#H5P Interactive Content


Spruce up your Moodle pages with this new easy-to-use tool to add interactive content such as:

- Drag & drop

-Record your answer

- Fill in the blanks

- Interactive videos

and much more


All students' answers are taken and recorded within Gradebook


Watch the video below to see it in action!

H5P will really add interactivity to your Moodle pages and learners can complete wherever best suits them. This is a great way to introduce flipped learning to your learners.

NEW TECHNOLOGY 2 - Updates to #MoodleAssignments

An update came to the Assignment plugin on Moodle over the summer. The students' work can now be marked in a similar way to Turnitin.

See the screenshot below and watch the video.

Look out for CPD events regarding e-learning and book yourself on!

Otherwise send me an email request and I will be happy to meet up.
