Moodle Myths
Tomaz Lasic at Human, For Fellow Teachers. . . ., has posted on the “Top 5 Myths about teaching with Moodle.” They are:
1. “You need to be an expert and tech savvy to use Moodle.”
2. “With Moodle, you need to be on computers all the time.”
3. “Students will love Moodle because it is online and in ‘their world’.”
4. “Moodle is just about fun and games, It’s a time waster and does not encourage ‘real work’.”
5. “Moodle is just another thing we need to learn, deal with and worry about now. Admin will probably switch to something new in a year or two anyway so why bother using in and learning about it.”
Another myth is that:
- You are using moodle if you upload your syllabus and classnotes/powerpoints for distribution.
