Yesterday I had the opportunity to use “Moodle” – today I saw the huge benefit to students.  I don’t want to make myself seem too old, BUT when I was at lectures I spent the entire time scribbling down what the lecturer said.  There was no interaction between the lecturer and the students.  I left lectures with a sore hand and had to spend a couple of hours rewriting my notes.

What a difference today!!!  The lecturer asked the students questions to make sure they understood.  The students concentrated on the lecture taking only a few notes.  Many even asked questions during the lecture.  This must be because the lecture notes are available online through Moodle – time is spent listening and learning rather than note taking.  What a thoroughly enjoyable experience.
