The homepage of a Moodle course IS the (soc. constr.) learningpath:
- on the highest level you have the sections, the tree-trunk of a Moodle course: normally you follow the sections from top to bottom. *)
- on the second level you have the list of activities, organised under a section theme. You can add an outline visualisation to show the relations of resources and activities in each section
- on the third level you can:
- create the leaves of this Moodle tree:
- webpage
- hyperlink to external webpage
- a form (feedback modul or data modul)
- a quiz, aforum, a chat,...
- add substructures like:
- add control structures for example for case-based learning: there are several patches for this
- on the left and the right of this central learningline Moodle offers you supporting tools and views in the sideblocks.
- create the leaves of this Moodle tree:
Learningline is the solution of BlackBoard look-a-likes to compensate for the missing central page of Moodle. I thought that Dokeos was the first BB-look-a-like which introduced this learningline. (I would prefer Dokeos above Claroline)
*) If you need a less top-down approach for your learningpath, Moodle offers more and more alternativ course-formats: tabbed when sections are less top-down organised, a project format when you want a time-line approach which allows overlap between some steps, etc..
To summarize: what makes Moodle special is the power to visualise the learningpath for the student in one overview screen.
