Tutor talk: additional resources for Moodle

As per the requirements for this part of the CTTL course, the following additions were introduced to the Moodle course page:

  1. A web page was created in the form of an HTML block for the left-hand sidebar. The HTML code embedded an applet - Digsby - connecting to my chat client. This preserves my chat account's privacy while enabling students of my course to see my availability status and communicate with me synchronously.
  2. A screencast was recorded using Camtasia. Audio was dubbed into the video stream, intro and finale sequences were added, and the result uploaded to YouTube using high definition production.

  3. The previous video instructed students at the end to download and install a software program and perform the steps from the video then feedback in an activity forum. A forum was created for this purpose and another web page was created to embed the YouTube screencast into, then a link was added below the embedded video to the activity’s dedicated forum.
  4. A glossary of technical terms was introduced under the “Resources” label. Also, Hot Potato was used to create a crossword puzzle. The resultant HTML page was uploaded under Unit 2’s activity block.
