Moodle at Aiken High School

What is Moodle?

Moodle is free, open source online course management system that makes it possible for us to better serve our students, their parents and our community.

The main developer of Moodle describes Moodle this way:

The heart of Moodle is courses that contain activities and resources. There are about 20 different types of activities available (forums, glossaries, wikis, assignments, quizzes, choices (polls), scorm players, databases etc) and each can be customised quite a lot. The main power of this activity-based model comes in combining the activities into sequences and groups, which can help you guide participants through learning paths. Thus, each activity can build on the outcomes of previous ones.

There are a number of other tools that make it easier to build communities of learners, including blogs, messaging, participant lists etc, as well useful tools like grading, reports, integration with other systems and so on...

So, how do we use Moodle at Aiken High School? That is a good question! We will try to answer it for you HERE
