00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:00.090
Welcome!

2
00:00:01.000 --> 00:00:04.000
In this video we would like  to show you how
you can

3
00:00:04.002 --> 00:00:06.000
make your life as an instructor  easier by
using moodle.

4
00:00:08.050 --> 00:00:13.050
The main Learning Management System of HTW
Berlin-  Moodle, allowes instructors to upload

5
00:00:14.000 --> 00:00:16.030
relevant course materials for their students.

6
00:00:17.000 --> 00:00:22.000
Pictures, videos, links, handouts or  technical
drawings and other materials

7
00:00:22.050 --> 00:00:24.050
are possible to use in moodle.

8
00:00:25.000 --> 00:00:30.030
Another advantage of moodle is that the access
is available from everywhere, you only need

9
00:00:31.000 --> 00:00:34.000
an intenet connection and a browser.

10
00:00:34.020 --> 00:00:38.000
Moodle is also a digital communication platform,
where instructors can easaly write messages

11
00:00:39.000 --> 00:00:43.000
to their students, while uploading attachments.
You can use the forum, in order to enable

12
00:00:43.030 --> 00:00:46.050
students to communicate with each other and
also communicate with you,   00:47.000 -->
00:48.050 whenever they have any questions.

13
00:00:49.000 --> 00:00:52.050
The course communication happens in your  online
course, can be read at any time

14
00:00:53.000 --> 00:00:56.000
and most importantly, it's ecological and saves
paper.

15
00:00:57.000 --> 00:01:02.000
Another possibility in Moodle is that you can
gather  assignments, exam questions and give
feedback online.

16
00:01:03.000 --> 00:01:09.000
When giving assignments, you can decide, whether
they need to be written directly in the browser,

17
00:01:10.000 --> 00:01:17.000
or students upload their results as an attachment,
such as a pdf or a word file.

18
00:01:18.000 --> 00:01:23.000
In addition, you can give feedback to these
assignments and send them to the students
back along with a feedback.

19
00:01:24.000 --> 00:01:28.000
These activites can also be useful for group
assignments.

20
00:01:29.000 --> 00:01:35.000
In moodle you can form groups or different
teams and allow students to work together.

21
00:01:36.000 --> 00:01:39.000
This improves the students' team skills and
allows them to communicate within

22
00:01:40.000 --> 00:01:45.000
their own groups. This way, the information
overflow from different topics is being evaded.

23
00:01:46.000 --> 00:01:51.000
Useful is also the possibility of keeping
materials from previous courses. We keep

24
00:01:51.000 --> 00:01:55.000
them for you for a long time, so that you can
use them in other semesters.

25
00:01:57.000 --> 00:02:00.000
With the import function you can upload  materials
from previous semesters in the

26
00:02:01.000 --> 00:02:06.000
new created courses. This way you don't need
to create new materails and you save time.

27
00:02:08.000 --> 00:02:14.000

advanced user, our team supports you always:
