Summary
In this chapter, you learned how to create a sense of adventure and excitement by creating places where students interact and learn from each other, both in real-time (synchronously) and on-demand (asynchronously), using chat and forums.
In learning about how best to use chat and forum activities to encourage engagement and motivate students, we've reviewed the different types as well as purposes. We also discussed how Moodle 4.0 makes it easier for students to interact with each other, and for the teacher to make sure that students are staying on track and not bounding ahead before they're ready. Moodle 4.0 focuses on student success.
In the next chapter, you will learn how to encourage collaboration among students using wikis and glossaries. You will learn how to use collaboration as an instructional strategy and how to select the collaborative activities that work particularly well in Moodle.
