Preface

This book is written to show readers how best to use the tools and elements of Moodle to improve their Design Technology courses and to make their courses more dynamic and challenging. The various modules have been chosen for their suitability and flexibility and will hopefully act as comprehensive enhancements. The book is written using real world examples and situations in order to better show the reader how and why the modules are used, as well as give some possible teaching methods based on course specifications. It is hoped that this book will help the reader to design their courses in order to maximize their students' learning and use the built-in tools of Moodle to fully assess their progress and development. The chapters can be read in a linear fashion for people new to Moodle, or in a more random way for experienced users. There should be something for everyone.
