Create: Select content to upload to the course shell.
This process has proven to be much more difficult and frustrating than any of my previous experiences with online learning and posting assignments for students. As I stated in my last post, I worked with the free version of Moodle and found ways to create posts to share with students. (In my blended classes, I use Google Classroom). I figured out how to upload content to make it available to students as well. But I couldn't quite figure out how to upload the content in such a way that the Digital Citizenship tutorial was truly interactive like the demo version. By sharing the html links, I gave my "dummy students" access to the bare bones of what was shown in the demo, but it lacked the interactive components. This has proven to be very frustrating.
Through my previous experience with my current LMS, Google Classroom, I'm very proficient with sharing links, files, and resources with students. Many of these things are documents, webpages, or videos that I created personally or that I have curated over the last 3-5 years while working 1:1 with Chromebooks. I have not previously needed to upload content, such as the lesson here that required multiple files be uploaded and run in order for students to access interactive content.
Truly, I don't know that I would ever use prepackaged material quite like this. But I have gained a new perspective on Moodle and how to share material with students.
