| Jay Cross' book on Informal Learning is the leading title on the subject and gives an excellent insight into this important subject. It is highly recommended reading. | |
| William H. Rice IV is the definitive author on Moodle, the Open Source Learning Management System (LMS). William's book provides an excellent introduction to Moodle and covers everything from installation, configuration and administration, to designing, developing and delivering courses. | |
| This book is an excellent follow-on from
William's first book "Moodle: E-Learning Course Development"
because it focuses on why you would use a particular type of
interactive module (i.e. Forum, Chat, Quiz, Lesson, Wiki,
Glossary, Choice, Course and Workshop) and then how to go
about implementing it from the students point-of-view. This is a solutions orientated book that "begins with the student in mind" and asks you to consider why you would use a particular feature and what is the most effective ways to engage and motivate the student to use and enjoy the Learning environment. Each chapter is clearly laid-out and leads you progressively through constructing a student scenario by discussing a number of key options that can be used to enhance the student <> teacher and student <> student experience. Each chapter contains many screenshots to supplement William's explanations. Whether you are new to Moodle, or an experienced Moodler, I am certain you can learn much from William's book, which will help you improve the design of your courses and the quality of the content you present to the students. |
