Moodle Michael Nieckoski March 2008

What is Moodle?.  Constructionism asserts that learning is particularly effective when constructing something for others to experience. This can be anything from a spoken sentence or an internet posting, to more complex artifacts like a painting, a house or a software package.  The concept of social constructivism extends the above ideas into a social group constructing things for one another, collaboratively creating a small culture of shared artifacts with shared meanings. When one is immersed within a culture like this, one is learning all the time about how to be a part of that culture, on many levels.  Designed by an educator and computer scientist, with “social constructionist” principles in mind, and uses activities as the heart of the course management system. Martin Dougiamas Creator & Lead Developer Modular Object-Oriented Dynamic Learning Environment =
