Moodle Discussion
Discussion forums are key to online learning because they enable learners to actively construct knowledge and build community. Moodle, a free, open source, learning management system for building online courses, provides a discussion platform, as well as a variety of other tools and activities that support constructivist learning theory and student collaboration. I developed a discussion prompt in Moodle based on a reading by Stephen Brookfield on Critical Thinking and facilitated an online discussion.
