Which to choose?
Moodle or AW?
Moodle is “guided by a social constructionist pedagogy”
Students construct new
knowledge as they interact with their environments
Learning is enhanced when
students construct something for others to share
Moodle Pedagogy
Connected learner philosophy
Students can be teachers &
teachers can be learners
Teachers can be “an influencer and role model of class culture”

students lead the class towards their learning goals
