Virtual Learning Environment by Moodle Helps Educators

By Mini Swamy, TMCnet Contributor


Moodle, originally developed by Martin Dougiamas to help educators create online courses with a focus on interaction and collaborative construction of content, is an open source virtual learning environment that is attracting attention from schools all over the world. Ease of use and flexibility coupled with interactive tools make the process of learning rather enjoyable. It is often referred to as


Course Management System, Learning Management System, or Virtual Learning Environment.

Science and math can perhaps be best taught using Moodle 2.0. Written by Vincent Lee Stocker, this book enables educators to create fun-filled, exciting and interactive science lessons and monitor their students' progress using Moodle's Gradebook function. Complicated concepts are explained with ease and help to retain the student's interest. They will be able to explain difficult scientific notions easily with the aid of animations.

With the help of interactive quizzes, images and diagrams, the learning curve can be accelerated. Educators can start forum discussions, embed videos, create fun filled learning activities and all the time easily monitor the student's performance. 

Science Teaching with Moodle 2.0 will help teachers to make homework more fun for the students by making them watch videos, participate in forum discussions and complete quizzes while at home. The book is packed with practical examples, and science teachers with no exposure to Moodle will find the book interesting and beneficial.

The book is now available for pre-order from Packt and can be bought through the Packtub website. As and when new chapters are added, the user is notified and can download the new version of the book. When the book is published, the full, finished e-book will be forwarded to the user.
