Dynamic courses: individual learning paths and online collaborative exercises in moodle 2
Paper presented at Moodlemoot Ireland & UK, Dublin, Ireland, 2-4 April 2012
Moodle 2 enables new didactic applications like individual learning paths and online collaborative exercises. Their effective implementation requires a top-down approach from didactic goals to practical solutions. Monitoring and intervening the learning processes becomes more important than before. In Moodle 2, it is possible to define a condition that has to be met by a student before a certain resource or activity will become visible to him/her. The completion status of another activity might be such a condition. From a didactic point of view, a pre-set sequence of activities or a list of options can be offered to the students. In earlier versions already, students could be placed in groups and a range of activities could be switched to group mode eventually. Further, once a grouping (a set of groups) was defined, activities as well as resources could be restricted to students from one grouping only. This enables creating more sets of parallel groups, or using groupings for different maturity levels or for different stages the students have to go through. The combination of groupings and conditional activities, gives powerful means to implement online collaborative exercises. This will be deminstrated, discussed and practised during the presentation.

resource and each activity when it has to be considered “completed”.
On the settings page of every resource/activity you can indicate whether the completeness has to be kept or not. If so: should it be assessed by the participant or by the system? In the latter case, which criteria apply?
completeness criteria for every resource and activity
The criteria for setting the completeness of a forum contribution in an automatic way. Other activities come with other criteria. For resources the only criteria is to have opened the resource only for display.
2. Use opening a certain web page to let a participant select a role.
3. Be sure that all roles and activities:
Only are available in a specific phase
Only are available for a specific role, i.e. available as a certain role definition web page has been opened before.
Part of a course page as the teacher will see it. The participants only see the resources/activities for the current phase, i.e. as far as they regard their selected role.
