Growth mindsets and personalized learning
The Moodle Choice activity is a simple way to encourage a growth mindset where each learner believes in their own capacity to succeed if they consistently put in the effort. In the beginning of the course, ask the learners to indicate their perceived current skill level. After they submit their choice, they will see what other people have selected (if you enable this feature). They will probably be encouraged to find that other people have selected similar skill levels. Towards the end of the course, invite the learners to do this choice activity again and indicate whether they have gone up a level or two. Instead of setting a finish line with a deadline for all learners, you can set up personalized learning by asking the learners to self-assess their current level, set a new goal, and reflect on the progress they have made. This will take you just ten minutes to implement with Moodle's simplest tool!
