A day in the life of . . . .

A student view.

Derek Chirnside, University Centre for Teaching and Learning, University of Canterbury December 2009 – From the “Introducing Moodle” series

A composite story, based on true events from several different lives

Slightly romanticised

(very romanticised)

Making no value Judgments . . .

Things start early

Checking TradeMe . . .

And e-mail . . .

A message from Moodle . . .

A message from Moodle . . .

One click . . .

and we are in Moodle

A quick reply . .

Later . . .

8.55 am, class

10.00 – 12.00

After Lunch . . . .

Group work in German, teacher away. .

Online, each group has their own wiki

Easy to set up

One process adds one wiki per group.

2.00pm, an online assessment

4.00pm, grades available to class

8.40 Had a little quiz, grades available to class after marking . . .

8.45pm

Did miss one class, but luckily . . .

8.55 – lost paper, download a copy . .

Maybe a chat message . . .

A long term project

With a weekly reflection in a course forum . . . .

9.30pm

One last assignment to upload

And so to bed

That’s the student view

There’s a lot going onunderneath the surface.

Or at least we hope there is.
