IEP LS3 Online Course
LS3 has offered online materials for three years.
Although our patchwork of blogs and html pages was not bad for what it was, we
are now using Moodle, which fixes all the glitches and offers infinite
possibilities.
Moodle is an advanced e-learning platform and
learning management system used by schools, universities and businesses all
over the world.
Some typical features of Moodle are:
video/audio/text access, file upload/download, online quizzes, assignment
submission, discussion forum, grade book, instant messaging, online calendar,
online news/announcements and wikis.
This is not simply a blog where students go to get
the topic for their latest writing assignment. Students actually do work,
receive feedback, interact and communicate within the Moodle environment.
Furthermore, Moodle becomes an effective presentation tool within the
classroom.
One
very important thing to know is that Moodle does not offer course content.
Teachers must create it. Therefore is it a big investment of teacher time,
knowledge and expertise to set the courses up. Fortunately this year LS3 has
the best team of teachers in its history. Not only are they interested in the
possibilities Moodle offers, but they are also very enthused about Thailand,
BCC and the students we are privileged to serve.
Administrators
and interested persons are invited to contact IEP-LS3 Coordinator David Cherry
for a username and password to access our online courses and have a look.
