Does Moodle support our pedagogical design?

Ultimately, I see Moodle as a constructivist style of learning. The work by Ernst Von Glaserfeld and Jean Piaget highlights that digital learning focussing on students actively being involved in their learning. http://cmapspublic3.ihmc.us/rid=1LGVGJY66-CCD5CZ-12G3/Learning%20Theory.cmap

The TPACK Framework (Technological, Pedagogical, Content, Knowledge) also highlights the importance of utilising current technologies to engage and continually adapt. http://tpack.org

As discussed in https://www.fondation-mines-telecom.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/2014-higher-education-digital-age.pdf a digital leaning platform seems to change the transmission of knowledge and shift the teacher focus to a learning process. The students are learning to learn.

    Hi Marina,

    Your pedagogy is really up to you and it is not too difficult to have Moodle support all of these approaches. OLTC20006 is a good example of this.

    Best,

    Scot.

Changing ones mindset and convincing them of an innovative and progressive educational delivery method needs an evidence based and respectful approach.   Within a health care model I see an interesting correlation with regards to change. As discussed in Egger, Spark and Donovan (2009) the intent for change needs to ensure improvement will benefit the majority and is for the greater good.   This can be directly linked to this scenario and provides sound grounds for discussion when raising the change in the pedagogy approach. Firstly, it is important to acknowledge your work colleagues contribution to the tertiary sector and gather a stronger understanding of their rationale for not wishing to change current teaching practices. Many factors need to be considered for their oppos...
