Moodle for active learning… Moodle was designed to encourage and enable socially constructive learning: • People actively construct new knowledge as they interact with their environment. • Everything you read, see, hear, feel, and touch is tested against your prior knowledge • Knowledge is strengthened if you can use it successfully in your wider environment. • You are not just a memory bank passively absorbing information, nor can knowledge be "transmitted" to you just by reading something or listening to someone. • Learning is particularly effective when constructing something for others to experience • Social Constructivism extends the above ideas into a social group constructing things for one another, collaboratively creating a small culture of shared artifacts with shared meanings.
