Moodle: Institutional platform for online education
The Moodle.USJ platform is the first and most global tool to ensure educational continuity. It offers a variety of pedagogical possibilities: teachers can integrate different types of media (text, audio, video, etc.), use many tools to communicate with students and carry out learning and evaluation activities.
Among the basic features of the platform:
- Les ressources (Documents, URL, étiquette…) : pour mettre à disposition des étudiants des ressources telles que des présentations, ressources externes, vidéos etc.
- L’activité Forum : pour communiquer avec les étudiants et les faire réagir, organiser des travaux de groupe, etc.
- Assignment activity: give students a task to complete in a given time. The platform is a place of exchange - instructions, submission of work, feedback -;
- L’activité Devoir (Turnitin) : permet d’avoir des rapports de similitudes des travaux envoyés par les étudiants ;
- L’activité Test permet d’effectuer des activités d’auto-évaluation, d’organiser des évaluations formatives ou sommatives, ou encore des tests de positionnement. Plusieurs types de questions sont possibles avec une limitation dans le temps.
