See real examples of course design, useful Moodle tools, and practical organization tips as instructors, Jordan Lukins and Carlos Goller showcase their Moodle Courses.

• Jordan Lukins: The course tour of "Instructional Strategies for Students with Disabilities" will highlight how I use the Moodle Tiles format to create a clear learning path and the Moodle Lesson tool to organize content into digestible, engaging weekly modules. I’ll also share how I use Q&A forums for low-stakes practice and peer learning. Attendees will see how intentional design choices can help asynchronous learners feel anchored in a structured, instructor-guided experience.

• Carlos Goller: The course tour of "Outbreak (HON 312)" will focus on how I integrated the Moodle Roadmap, Brickfield, and Mobile app notifications to keep students (and instructors) organized. After redesigning my course with these features, students reported better navigation, and we intentionally addressed Quality Matters (QM) Specific Review Standards (SRS) 8.1 and 8.2. We will share discussion prompts and reflect on organizing course content while promoting accessibility and encouraging student planning.

See real examples of course design, useful Moodle tools, and practical organization tips as instructors, Claire Gordy and Tamara Pandolfo showcase their Moodle Courses.

• Claire Gordy: I will tour GN 421/521 (Molecular Genetics). The tour will provide participants with examples of how course design in Moodle can be used to support students' time management and executive function. I will focus on the use of NC State Moodle Books to organize all learning materials, activities, and assessments for a single module; the inclusion of estimated time for completion of activities; the use of Restrictions to control the order in which content is accessed, including how this can be used in educational research studies; and the use of Quizzes for submission of self-graded assessments.

• Tamara Pandolfo: This tour of two courses, Environmental Risk Assessment and Water Quality Assessment, features graduate-level courses which were redesigned (and then redesigned again) to offer effective opportunities for students to interact with course content. Through this tour, I will share my process of learning that more interaction is not always better. Interactive Moodle features include H5P activities (drag and drop & branching scenarios), Panopto video quizzes, and Perusall collaborative annotation. 

Student-to-Student interactions can deepen students' learning and help them make connections to their peers and your course content. Join our instructors as they share successful strategies for enhancing student-to-student interactions.

Elizabeth Wagner: In my tour of ENG 333 - Communication for Science and Research, I'll share my strategies for using a weekly course organization, Moodle lessons, and reflection questions to increase student engagement with the course material and with me, their instructor. I'll also demonstrate how I use Perusall and the Moodle Workshop tool to help scaffold larger assignments and increase student interaction.

Ignacio Dominguez: The course tour of "CSC 342: Applied Web-based Client-Server Computing" will showcase color-coded navigation of daily course topics and color-coded organization of materials within each day. I will show how my Moodle site supports my ungraded, flipped course with a custom grading scale, daily assignment checklists, and the Moodle Roadmap. Ask me about my Moodle scripts and templating!

See real examples of course design, useful Moodle tools, and practical organization tips as instructors, Stacy Supak and Christian Doll, showcase their Moodle Courses.

Stacy Supak: In my tour of GIS 280 - Introduction to Geographic Information Systems, I’ll show how I use Moodle’s Activity Completion and Restricted Access features to create a clear, flexible course flow in a large asynchronous class. I’ll highlight strategies like rolling module deadlines with structured assessments, student self-evaluation using Google Sheets and H5P, and peer learning through a reflective discussion forum. I’ll also share how offering multiple assignment options—where only the highest score counts—supports student choice. The tour will include a screen share of my Spring 2025 course in Moodle. 

Christian Doll: The course tour of of “Technology in Society and Culture” will show how I used the Moodle Road Map in a course I redesigned into a Hybrid/Flipped format. I integrated several tools, including YellowDig, PlayPosit, and TopHat, to achieve my goal of focussing class sessions around in-depth discussions of theories and texts and on on workshopping research-based essay projects. Integrating these items together in the Roadmap allowed students to continually reflect on their process and progress throughout the semester.

Moodle Gradebook is a powerful, flexible, accurate grade management system. With its natural aggregation system, teachers can leverage sum-of-points, percentage-category, and other grading strategies independently or simultaneously. We will break down the inner workings of gradebook using arithmetic and explain how to customize its calculations to meet the needs of teachers using several common grading strategies as well as a few uncommon ones suggested by attendees.

What makes active learning truly active? In this workshop, participants will explore that question while getting a hands-on introduction to Padlet, a collaborative bulletin board tool coming soon to NC State. Attendees will discover Padlet’s features and templates, brainstorm classroom applications, and explore how it can enhance active learning in both face-to-face and online settings—all before its official launch.
