“Among many other things, Moodle enables teachers to upload learning resources such as PowerPoint presentations, links to websites, class notes, or message their students, and keep a display of important information such as hand-in dates for homework and reply to any pupil or student questions they might post.” – Dr. Geoff Elliott of Pembrokeshire College
Moodle has taken over the classroom and put the virtual world at the heart of the education system. To really take advantage of everything that Moodle has to offer, students and teachers must truly understand the different tools and features that are built-in to the powerful tool. Once the tool is better understood, teachers and students can integrate the right Moodle modules that would increases classroom engagement and make learning more fun.
Let’s take a look at 5 top tips that students and teachers can use to make the most of Moodle.
1. Automated User Sign-In for Convenience with Security
These days, we have different passwords for everything. We don’t usually remember all of them. Moodle offers a convenient and secure automated sign-up option to avoid these kinds of issues. Integration with existing user authorization systems and single sign-on can help smooth the path to student and staff e-learning productivity and achievement.
2. Use Robust Moodle Modules
Moodle offers over 1,000 plugins available for download. These tools enhance the classroom by offering dynamic and engaging features. Chats, forums, voicethreads, and so on allow teachers and students to interact more than ever before, reinforcing material, and making the learning process a lot more fun.
3. Improve Course Navigation with Existing Tools
Moodle has many built-in possibilities that improve navigation. One example is Moodle’s Collapsed Topics functionality, which makes it easy to navigate documents with a large number of pages. This is a huge time-saver.
4. Offer Real-Time Onscreen Guidance
Real-time guidance software such as WalkMe for Moodle helps users navigate Moodle who aren’t familiar with how to leverage all of the product’s features. Onscreen guidance offers context appropriate guidance to students and faculty, to ensure that they complete all their tasks successfully, no matter how complex.

In a mobile-driven world, users expect access and usability from tablets and smartphones as well as from their computers.
