    MOODLE ON DUDE!

    What's in a name? Well, quite a bit if you're talking about 'Moodle.' Author Jason Cole, has done an outstanding job of writing a book for instructors learning how to use Moodle. Cole begins by discussing Moodle as a CMS and surveying its tools and features. Next, the author gets you started using Moodle. Then, he covers individual tools in the basic Moodle package. The author continues by delving into the management of your course, including adding and removing users, creating user groups, and backing up your course. In addition, the author next covers Moodle's built-in survey functions for assessing your class. He also pools all the disparate tools into a comprehensive whole and shows some of the creative ways teachers have used Moodle. Finally, he covers how to administer an entire Moodle site. With the preceding in mind, the author has done an excellent job of showing universities, community colleges, K-12 schools, businesses, and even individual instructors how to add web technology to their courses. So, Moodle on dude!

    Technology that Teaches: Jason Cole's 'Using Moodle

    In Chapters 2 through 13 Jason Cole describes how to use Moodle from installation through creating various types of courses. The easy to follow text with illustrations describe, step by step, how to achieve a working system. Chapter 1 sets the context. Cole writes [Moodle creator] ¿Martin¿s background led him to adopt social constructionism as a core theory behind Moodle.¿ And comments ¿Most [course management systems] have been built around tools, not pedagogy. I would call most commercial CMS Systems tool-centered while Moodle is learning-centered.¿ This captures the reason for Moodle¿s overwhelming adoption by college and university faculty and K-12 school teachers¿Moodle is designed to teach, and does it well. Chapter 15 ¿Putting It All Together¿ summarizes course design patterns for introductory survey, skills development, theory/discussion, and capstone courses¿a chapter that every education graduate should be able to write. These patterns make the difference between ¿teaching as we were taught¿ and ¿teaching as we should be taught.¿ A learning system ¿by educators for educators¿ continuously being improved by some very-savvy PHP developers. Cole describes their work well and argues the learning theory underlying the design has made powerful education technology, more than a ¿cool¿ architecture.
