Orientation to the Moodle LMS Tools
Forums
Forums are spaces where you can participate in discussions, share ideas, ask questions, and learn from other teachers in your group. They help you reflect on ICT concepts, give feedback, and engage in collaborative learning. When using a forum, try to write clearly, respond politely to others, and contribute something meaningful rather than repeating what others have already said. A helpful tip: log in regularly so you don’t miss important discussions or announcements.
Assignments
Assignments allow you to submit tasks, reflections, or digital artefacts directly through Moodle. You may be asked to upload a file, write text online, or submit multimedia resources you have created. This tool keeps all your work organised and helps your facilitators track your progress. To use assignments effectively, read the instructions carefully, check the due date, and always review your work before submitting.
Quizzes
Quizzes help you check your understanding of the course content through multiple-choice questions, short answers, or matching activities. They may be timed or self-paced, and some quizzes allow multiple attempts so you can improve your score. Quizzes are not only for assessment—they are also a good way to learn. A good strategy is to complete quizzes after reading each section, so you reinforce your learning immediately.
Lessons
Lessons guide you through structured content step-by-step, combining text, images, videos, and small questions to support active learning. They allow you to move through the material at your own pace and revisit sections whenever needed. Lessons help break down complex topics into manageable pieces. To get the most out of them, take your time, explore all the links or activities provided, and avoid skipping sections, as each part builds on the previous one.
