Tips, tricks, and training for a truly engaging and interactive Moodle experience

On March 9, 2021, the Moodle team shared 5 of my tips and tricks to build an online learning environment that’s engaging, inclusive and interactive as follows:

1. Leverage multimedia in a creative manner

2. Focus on mobile design

3. Plan interactive and engaging synchronous sessions

4. Use characters and stories to hold attention

5. Explore, share and keep learning

To sum up, there’s no shortage of techniques that can make teaching over Moodle a more engaging and interactive experience. While learning is indeed serious business, there’s no reason fun and creativity should be left out – in fact, these are crucial components to learning itself.

Students will be at their best when they are given the right space and tools to succeed. With Moodle and the tips provided above, creating that ideal environment just got a lot easier.
