This workshop examines strategies faculty can use to actively engage learners and create instructor presence in building a meaningful learning environment. Presenters discussed characteristics of online learners and their needs, followed by ways students can engage with their instructor, peers, and content in online courses. Additionally, presenters provided an overview of key Moodle settings and features that will assist in performing instructional activities (e.g., providing feedback, grading, and communicating with students).
Note: This was not a Moodle "how-to" workshop or a workshop on how to develop an online course.
