Benefits of structuring Moodle
The structure of a unit can have a significant impact on student learning and satisfaction. The site structure can look and feel quite different depending on the learning goals, mode of enrolment, curriculum, types of activities, and student needs.
| “Most of the work students do—much of their learning activity—takes place without direct supervision from their teachers. Hence, teachers need to design good learning tasks and to communicate task specifications clearly to their students.” (Goodyear, 2015) |
Having a well structured Moodle unit minimises unit navigation time, leaving more time for students to spend collaborating, communicating and engaging with the unit. Optimise the different features in Moodle to create learning paths that meet student needs by effectively sequencing resources and activities.
