E-Learning: Wikis and Moodle

INTRODUCTIONE-Learning is where learning is achieved or enhanced by the use of a technology based tool or medium or where any innovative teaching method is employed.

E-Learning

E-Learning: Wikis and MoodleWIKIA Wiki is like a normal website with two very important differences.1. The pages are edited online, rather

than by using Dreamweaver or FrontPage then uploading using FTP.

2. The pages can be edited by anyone with permission to do so. This make collaborative authorship simple.

We will explore the SWSI Wikispaces and learn a bit about how to browse, edit and create pages. (See Wikispaces Help in the LHS Menu at SWSI)

Gaining access to our Wikispaces:As a guest

How do I “own” a course?

Hi Jeff.

In the Sandpit Category there a re a number of courses now built by staff playing and anyone is welcome to go into anyone without a key

and looksee/play BUT in the Sandpit we setup three courses to demonstrate the three basic course structures available – Social

Format, Topics Format and Weekly Format (each course so named) and also to demonstrate the impact of the Availability settings – ie

Guest allowed/not allowed, existence of an enrolment key.

Hope that helps

Oh, if any haven’t self-registered they will be able to do so on the spot and use the portal or webmail to respond to the email sent

from the Moodle server to confirm email address.

Have a good weekendLaurie Quarmby
