I think the overriding factor for moodle choice is it's free! But Google classroom is so much better!!!! Get yourself a Pearltrees account (free one available you can n work as teams in it... and has the advantage that its yours! Here's mine pearltrees.com/stephenteacher). Upload your docs and collect your bookmarks to build up your resources. Iframe embed that into your moodle through a label. It looks slick. Look at my moodle you can say... People will say ooohhh... It Is 'in the moodle' but means you don't have to wrestle with the moodle apart from setting assignments which isn't too painful... Though I did give up trying to set up a self marking maths questions... (it's in there!) Iframe embed permalinks from your tidliwikis. This will save you much stress. Another thing I used to do was host assignment docs etc. in drop box and link to them from the moodle. I had a sycronisation program from portableapps.com (quietly install without bothering the nice IT dept) which copied folders from my work cloud drive to my hard drive every hour and the folder it copied into was my Dropbox folder so any updates to assignments... Spelling correction... Date change.. Clarification.. would be live to the students in at most an hour.
So use the moodle but drive your content in it from external sources. The label is your friend :) On Thursday, 1 October 2020 at 13:39:35 UTC+1 Jan wrote: > Hi Steve, > I have to admit what you say is ture... compared to TW moodle is > complicated and clumpsy. > Preparing a course for the next semester is a drag. > But it alllows you to organize and engage students into tasks and collect > their results in a very concise way.
