The idea was for them to see this as an out of class exercise that utilised both forums and chat sessions. I have started the first real use of LAMS as a means of extended learning for my group working on the Designing Computer Games module.

Apart from the advice on content, I started out by setting up a new forum for them in Moodle, which they liked the idea of, and I asked if they had any preferences for a name, they came up with Cmaritans, good one. We met today not because we had a class, but because they wanted advice in how to establish a self-group, brilliant I thought.

Of all the aspects in using the vle that we covered today -Forums and Chat seemed to attract the most enthusiasm and time, all very good, and often amusing. I think I could a make tentative assumption from this that for many staff the idea of training during term time is still difficult to manage.

I went along to an RSC Moodle Forum round table in London yesterday that posed the question ‘What makes for a good Moodle activity’. Without looking at my members list there were about 20 of us there, so it turned into a very sociable and informative event, most enjoyable.

From the preceding list, surely even the most casual observer would conclude, no, but a serious question of course remains, how can engagement and achievement be improved, because of course it can, and should, given all the surrounding technologies and best practice at our disposal.

I was surprised by the concerns expressed in the recent HE Forum about VLE’s leading to reduced attendance. And so an emailed was circulated to a national list, not by myself I must add, to see if this is generally seen as a problem. The responses indicate the opposite.

The potential improvements for social engagement above that offered by the more usual first world experience of synchronous, asynchronous chat and forum seem boundless.

I started three new level 3 groups today and as a first exercise decided they should begin to make use of Moodle by posting lifestyle styles and ambitions to a forum. Postings could include links, particularly if they had Myspace, some did. days a week, so what happens the rest of the week?

Though the collaborative e-learning trial has ended, my level 4 students have requested the creation of chat (msn) and forums for their new assignment, even though this time the submission must be for work of an individual nature! Basically once completed, the highlighted cells are copy and pasted directly into the appropriate weekly block.
