  1. … using animated GIFS
    1. make groups (=sessions) like shown here;
    2. share audio/screen within  each group so that (ideal for enforcing oral communication during a shared computer task)
      1. everybody can hear and speak, like shown here (but use option “All in group” instead of pairs in discussion);
      2. everybody can see screen of “model student”  (as shown here), but only screen owner can type/mouse (and draw, using start/Zoomit/CTRL+F1).

How to allow students to reply to News Forum posts in Moodle

  1. E.g. with this: “I have seen this post. I have followed  the instructions. It worked for me.”Smile
  2. Answered here: http://moodle.bath.ac.uk/faq/content/12/182/en/can-students-reply-to-news-forum-posts.html 
  3. Does not work in our installation which is being investigated – maybe with good reason: I every study is forced to subscribe and can respond, their tend to be email floods which rather hide than surface important information.
  4. Workaround:
      1. Hide the news forum;
      2. create a regular Moodle Forum, where students can respond by default
      3. ask your users to read it and maybe monitor reading with tracking
      4. do not force them to subscribe = receive email
      5. lrc news forum 
      6. I also hid the “Latest News” block, in the hope that the “Recent Activity” block can replace it: lrc news forum replaced
