Structuring Moodle - Supporting your students
By following the strategies and recommendations found in this resource, you will already be supporting your students in having a more usable and friendly learning experience.
How to support your students
When setting up your Moodle site remember to do the following:
- Chunk and scaffold content to guide students through the unit
- Have clear headings and instructions for students
- Create a clear flow and navigation throughout the unit
- Use clear communication
- Use images, colours and fonts consistently
Tell students how to navigate the Moodle unit
It would also help if you provided students with documentation or a video on how to navigate the Moodle unit and where to find key information. Also, let students know where they should go in Moodle to get announcements or where they can access all their assessment resources.
What resources and services are available to students
Here are some resources that you can share with your students in your Welcome page.
