Moodle and Web 2.0

While shiny features like “Boost”, Competencies, LTI, or the dashing new media player took up our headlines, a lot of effort by true heroes who developed Moodle 3.2 has gone into smaller upgrades. They are improvements to the most popular Moodle activities and may only be noticed through real practice and sadly, chances are not everyone will get to them.

Dr. Martin Dougiamas, CEO and founder of the Moodle project, speaks about the upcoming features in Moodle 3.2 during a live session on Periscope yesterday. The session was organized by Moodle HQ team to answer the queries of Moodle users directly by Dr. Martin. You can watch the video recording of the session here.

I was fascinated when a friend of mine told me about her experience as a young student at a Montessori school. As an award for good behavior, she enjoyed the opportunity of mopping the hall floors. Which she did with a smile on her face.

Montessori shares many pedagogical accords with Moodle. They are based on the basic psychological principles of social reward. This means that, among other things, their enjoyment of new things is determined by how much their peers acknowledge its value.

With Moodle 3.2, the focus more than ever is on promoting an impactful learning intervention where teachers have more control on how students build their own definition of success.
