Hi, again,

For a general idea of what some folks are doing, I would start in the teaching strategies forum - http://moodle.org/mod/forum/view.php?id=41 or any other forums in the Using Moodle for teaching section of the front page of this course. I think you will find much useful information there.

My usual advice to new Moodlers (for what it is worth) is to try the progression:
  1. Read this - http://docs.moodle.org/en/The_Good_Teacher
  2. Post information like lesson plans and links to other sites. You could use the web page resource for that, but there are other ways.
  3. After you and your students have become accustomed to Moodle, post a couple of little polls using the choice activity.
  4. Everything has been very controlled up to now. Time to let go a bit and put up a forum or two. You may have to guide the conversation a little in the beginning, but that should not last too long.
  5. After you have gotten all of the above working, experiment a little with other mods like database and glossary.
  6. Start looking at the community-contributed goodies you find here - http://moodle.org/mod/data/view.php?id=6009
Frankly, I think you could set up wonderful courses if you never got past step four above.

Others may have better advice for you. Anyone want to jump in here?

Good luck!

Hope that is a little helpful.

Regards,
Art

Hi, Karthik,

Not quite sure what you mean by classroom training. (Sorry, I am probably being dense.) Do you mean that you will use Moodle to teach INSTEAD of meeting face to face? Or would you be using Moodle IN ADDITION TO face to face instruction?

Either way, I am sure that you will find a lot of useful information here at Moodle.org.
