This week we are really diving into creating courses at KIST. We are learning the ins and outs of Moodle, while at the same time keeping in mind the social networking tools that we have been trying out.
The great thing about Moodle is that you can incorporate Web 2.0 tools into the system. Today we tried out adding Twitter RSS feeds into the right hand navigation blocks and than seemed to work really well.
We will continue to try out other tool integrations as we work on our courses this week. Stuart Mealor has a great Moodle course experimentation - trying out integrating a variety of tools into Moodle. Check it out at Elearning.org. You can see he has integrated a Flickr photo stream, his LinkedIn link, delicious, plus a variety of other things.
The key with using Moodle or Web 2.0 learning tools is to think through your objectives and figure out how best to present information to your learners. This also means thinking about how to engage your learners and make learning interactive and participatory. We will continue our work tomorrow, see you in class.
