5. 5. What student engagement is to us Student Engagement is about involving and empowering our learners with e-learning. We encourage the use of Moodle tools that promote interactivity. Such tools should help the student organise their own learning and contribute to their student experience, especially through the use of online submission, feedback and badges. 5

17. 17. Q: Are there other ways you can think of that Moodle could have been used in the course? Better induction of Moodle as a forum that teachers on the campus use. Students can communicate with each other outside of lesson on the boards and teachers can assist . Assignments submitted online rather than being printed out . Get access to our documents on the college system. I have not been able to get hold of my work from the college system from home if I forgot to send it my email or save it on my USB stick.

31. 31. A2 ICT Marple The data shows that last year there were no posts indicating a lack of interactivity in the course. Activity this year is obviously high and linked to online assessment submissions and feedback through Moodle to students. Views are also significantly higher indicating greater student interaction with Moodle. 36

34. 34. Creative Media BTEC L3 The old Moodle model allowed all students to see just one course. This course was large and could not be automatically transferred and all material has had to be manually downloaded or recreated. Some material is still being transferred. This is common on all BTECs and has caused a slow start to usage. 39
35. 35. Continued The new Moodle allows students to only view the course they are enrolled on. To overcome the need for teachers to duplicate material, all students are being manually enrolled on the largest year 1 or 2 qualification available. Usage is significantly down for one of our highest used courses Historically and there is still a requirement to build on the interactivity within the course. 40
