The Worcester Approach to MoodleBuilding a great
Moodle course

• A place to do things not just a place to get
  things. (quizzes, forums, wikis, glossaries,
  journals, webquests etc)
• A place that appeals to different learning
  styles. (video, podcasting, images, drag and drop
  as well as text based resources)
• A place that supports differentiation.
  (differentiated resources, weblinks, extension
  activities)
