Why bother?
● Learner-Content InteractionFirst type of interaction that enables learning to happen (ref: M.G. Moore, ‘Three types of interaction’, American Journal of Distance Education, 2009)
● DIY whenever possible is best In our case, our team of 6 people support (or try to) over 1,000 academics and staff in our faculty alone; we administer 700+ Moodle units accessed by 10,500+ students

What’s the design goal?
eLearning Content that is:
Engaging = FUN for students
○ F = Findable
○ U = Understandable
○ N = iNteractive

How can we achieve it?
To make your Moodle site FUN, make sure various content elements in your
site CLCC (pronounced ‘click!’)
○ C = Clear
○ L = Logical
○ C = Consistent
○ C = Creative

To get started......run your Moodle site by
○ Navigation - does it CLCC?
○ Content - is it chunked? does it CLCC?
○ Interaction - does it include action items?
do they CLCC?
○ Student feedback - be brave...ask what
they think
