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,
Robert Lee

NEW TECHNOLOGY 1 - #H5p
#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.
