Hi there,
DETAILS
Moodle 2.6, set up for mobile learning (students using PC/Mac, laptop or iPad - not mobile phones)
**********************************
THE ACTIVITY
I hope someone can guide me. I'm producing a lesson that introduces a range of practical strategies. The activity for this lesson requires the students to consider their own situation and select 3 to 5 strategies that they'll use.
The answers are not black and white, it's flexible. The students are encouraged to modify a given strategy or add their own. It's all about thinking through what will work best for them. It's a blended program so their answers will be collated and discussed later in a classroom setting.

MY QUERIES
I'm very new to Moodle and am grappling with how to best manage this activity. Here are my ideas and questions:
- In terms of student submission, I was thinking of using a text entry block where the students list and submit their chosen strategies. Is this the best approach? Is there a different question type or method I should consider?
- As long as they have submitted a response the activity is deemed complete, so the responses do not require a grade (% or score). it just needs to be noted that they have submitted their list. How do I manage this from a grading perspective and can it be done using a text entry box?
- Can I set it up so that each student is emailed their submitted response and also all responses are emailed or accessable to the teacher? If so, how?
- Is there anything else I need to consider, set up or or do?
**********************************
I really hope someone can give me some guidance. I just need to be pointed in the right direction, so any links to relevant Moodle docs, ideas or suggestions appreciated.
many thanks
