New Moodle Tool Guide

Decision-making guide for educators

The activities and materials you should include in your Moodle system depend on your goals and resources. Our Moodle Tool Guide will help you determine which tools are best suited for each purpose.

All tools were evaluated according to Benjamin Bloom’s taxonomy of learning objectives, which classifies learning into levels of cognitive depth. The tools were accordingly categorized based on their instructional objectives. And best of all, the Moodle Tool Guide also shows you right away how much effort is required for setup and support.

How do you use the Moodle Tool Guide?

  • On the home page, you'll find a "matrix"that provides a complete overview—there you can see all activities and related information. This view can be filtered by setup and maintenance requirements as well as learning objectives.
  • When you select the"Cards"view, you'll see each activity clearly displayed as a separate card, along with its respective criteria. In this view, you can compare different activities with one another.
  • Under the"Wizard" menu item, you can view activities based on your goals and resources.
  • Another very useful feature: when you click on an activity, you’ll see both a description of the activity and a rating based on educational objectives.

The integration of LTI interfaces into Moodle enables the seamless integration of external learning tools, thereby significantly expanding the range of instructional possibilities. At the same time, this process involves the transfer of personal data, which is why clear roles, transparency, and data minimization are essential to ensure compliance with the GDPR.
