Activities and resources - Supporting your students
Given the vast amount of Moodle activities and resources, students will need clear instructions and some guidance for navigating a Moodle page and engaging with activities and resources.
How to support your students
There are a number of ways that you can support your students with Moodle activities and resources.
- Review the unit page with students during the first week to demonstrate navigation of the site.
- Set expectations for engagement with activities and resources.
- Optimise the different features in Moodle to create learning paths that meet student needs by effectively sequencing resources and activities.
- Give sufficient instructions to direct students through the resources and activities.
- Use labels to chunk the activities, for example pre-class, in-class, post-class or discover, apply, explore and reflect.
- Provide scaffolding within and between activities so students can see the links between them.
