Thank you for explaining this, Scott.

I have to admit that this "bright idea" was originally mine. My thinking was that our students should understand that they can become not merely proficient Moodlers, but rather productive members of the Moodle community. Members who not only take, but also give.

Being a member of this community has been important and meaningful to me and I hope that many of our students will have the same experience.

And I think that contributing to the documentation is one of the best ways to contribute to the community.

I clearly did not think the assignment through as thoroughly as I should have, though, and I understand that it must be frustrating to have to deal with less-than-wonderful "contributions" made to the docs. I will be more careful about this sort of thing in the future.

For example, maybe students in a training course could vote for a page in the docs to improve and we could all collaborate on it together in a wiki or a forum before actually submitting the changes to the docs. That might be a better way to go, might it not?

Regards,
Art

Dear Paula,

Thank you for posting. Please forgive my taking so long to respond. My wife was in the hospital. (She is okay, now.)

Well, I think that your scenario is wonderful. I really like this: "students are asked to reflect on their learning ..." I am so bad about that! I always mean to include a component for reflection, but sometimes concentrate so much on knowledge and skills that I neglect this.

It is so important that students learn how they learn, isn't it?

Really? That surprises me. I use it all the time. But I guess I have never really asked my colleagues if they use it.
