About Moodle
Moodle is a software package for producing Internet-based courses and web
sites. It is a global development project designed to support a social
constructionist framework of education.
Moodle is provided freely as Open Source software (under the GNU General
Public License). Basically this means Moodle is copyrighted, but that you have
additional freedoms. You are allowed to copy, use and modify Moodle
provided that you agree to: provide the source to others; not modify or
remove the original license and copyrights, and apply this same license to
any derivative work. Read the full license for details and please contact the
copyright holder via the Moodle.com helpdesk if you have any questions.
Moodle can be installed on any computer that can run PHP, and can support an
SQL type database (for example MySQL). It can be run on Windows and Mac
operating systems and many flavors of Linux. There are many knowledgeable
Moodle Partners to assist you, even host your Moodle site.
The word Moodle was originally an acronym for Modular Object-Oriented
Dynamic Learning Environment, which is mostly useful to programmers and
education theorists. It's also a verb that describes the process of lazily
meandering through something, doing things as it occurs to you to do them, an
enjoyable tinkering that often leads to insight and creativity. As such it applies
both to the way Moodle was developed, and to the way a student or teacher
might approach studying or teaching an online course. Anyone who uses
Moodle is a Moodler.

Chapter 1 Philosophy
The design and development of Moodle is guided by a "social constructionist
pedagogy". This page attempts to unpack this concept in terms of four main,
related concepts: constructivism, constructionism, social constructivism, and
connected and separate.

1.1 Constructivism
From a constructivist point of view, people actively construct new knowledge
as they interact with their environments.
Everything you read, see, hear, feel, and touch is tested against your prior
knowledge and if it is viable within your mental world, may form new
knowledge you carry with you. Knowledge is strengthened if you can use it
successfully in your wider environment. You are not just a memory bank
passively absorbing information, nor can knowledge be "transmitted" to you
just by reading something or listening to someone.
This is not to say you can't learn anything from reading a web page or watching
a lecture, obviously you can, it's just pointing out that there is more
interpretation going on than a transfer of information from one brain to another.

1.2 Constructionism
Constructionism asserts that learning is particularly effective when constructing
something for others to experience. This can be anything from a spoken
sentence or an internet posting, to more complex artifacts like a painting, a
house or a software package.
For example, you might read this page several times and still forget it by
tomorrow - but if you were to try and explain these ideas to someone else in
your own words, or produce a slideshow that explained these concepts, then it's
very likely you'd have a better understanding that is more integrated into your
own ideas. This is why people take notes during lectures (even if they never
read the notes again).

1.3 Social constructivism
Social constructivism extends constructivism into social settings, wherein
groups construct knowledge for one another, collaboratively creating a small
culture of shared artifacts with shared meanings. When one is immersed within
a culture like this, one is learning all the time about how to be a part of that
culture, on many levels.
A very simple example is an object like a cup. The object can be used for many
things, but its shape does suggest some "knowledge" about carrying liquids. A
more complex example is an online course - not only do the "shapes" of the
software tools indicate certain things about the way online courses should work,
but the activities and texts produced within the group as a whole will help shape
how each person behaves within that group.

1.4 Connected and separate
This idea looks deeper into the motivations of individuals within a discussion:
•
•
•

Separate behaviour is when someone tries to remain 'objective' and 'factual',
and tends to defend their own ideas using logic to find holes in their
opponent's ideas.
Connected behaviour is a more empathic approach that accepts subjectivity,
trying to listen and ask questions in an effort to understand the other point of
view.
Constructed behaviour is when a person is sensitive to both of these
approaches and is able to choose either of them as appropriate to the current
situation.

In general, a healthy amount of connected behaviour within a learning
community is a very powerful stimulant for learning, not only bringing people
closer together but promoting deeper reflection and re-examination of their
existing beliefs.

1.5 Conclusion
Consideration of these issues can help to focus on the experiences that would be
best for learning from the learner's point of view, rather than just publishing and
assessing the information you think they need to know. It can also help you
realise how each participant in a course can be a teacher as well as a learner.
Your job as a 'teacher' can change from being 'the source of knowledge' to
being an influencer and role model of class culture, connecting with students in

a personal way that addresses their own learning needs, and moderating
discussions and activities in a way that collectively leads students towards the
learning goals of the class.
Moodle doesn't FORCE this style of behaviour, but this is what the designers
believe that it is best at supporting. In future, as the technical infrastructure of
Moodle stabilises, further improvements in pedagogical support will be a major
direction for Moodle development.

Chapter 2 Pedagogy
Let's sit back and really reflect on the pedagogy that is at the core of what we,
as online educators, are trying to do.

2.1 Definition of Pedagogy
One definition of pedagogy in Wiktionary says
1. The profession of teaching
2. The activities of educating, teaching or instructing
