Hi

I am relieved that you took my criticism in good spirit. As you have noticed a couple terms and phrases in the OP irritated me. As it often happens, to me at least, in these on-line forums I didn't have the patience to give a diplomatic answer.

Now to your original question: Only by reading your previous post I understand your question. When you talk of "on-line learning" you mean the on-line, i.e. at a networked computer device, component of a course which is also taught face-to-face. The question is whether it is a repetition of what has been done in the classroom or is it an extension, i.e. exercises which were not conducted in the classroom but an integral part of the course augmenting it.

I would say, both are possible. It depends on how much time students spend, or are supposed to spend, in the classroom and on-line. These numbers are part of the course definition. It is the old question of "how much homework"! Obviously there is no general answer. Well, unless, you have scheduled on-line work.

The answer is not simple. For example, read the parallel thread "Are rubrics really a good thing? Upcoming webinar" https://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=322155.

Hi Hittesh

I know, it is confusing. The information section you now see on https://moodle.org/mod/forum/post.php?forum=94 were supposed to be the header of this, Hardware and performance, forum https://moodle.org/mod/forum/view.php?id=596. (I am sure because I wrote it following the German "Moodle-Technikforum" https://moodle.org/mod/forum/view.php?id=949 ;egg

Then our community manageress found it too much for the poor help seekers here, and pruned it (and other forums) to the present ten-word formula. Now I have the privilege of explaining the story (repeatedly) and still maintaining the original page by proxy. (See https://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=322223.)

Coming back to the relevance of that info, if you've seen "Please include as much background information as possible about your hardware, the operating system, the web server, the database server, the PHP scripting framework, etc." the helpers wouldn't need to pull that information one-by-one from you.
