Building Trust in your Moodle Classroom

Building Trust in your Moodle Classroom | Aprendiendo a Distancia | Scoop.it
Recently I had the opportunity to attend a conference session on developing trusted relationships, and it got me thinking about the importance of building trust within the online environment. A community of trust enables students to engage at a higher level, to try and to fail through exploration in a safe environment, and to grow through community support. In this article, I’m going to highlight strategies facilitators can use to build trust, creating an inclusive classroom where all students can learn, engage, and believe that they matter.


Be Clear

Students want to know what is expected. The News Forum is the default forum for general news and course announcements found in every Moodle course. Participants enrolled in your course are automatically subscribed to this forum. Use the News Forum to:

· Set forth classroom norms near the beginning of class.

· Post daily announcements to remind students of upcoming course assignments.


Be Present

Students need to perceive the instructor’s presence as soon as the course begins and recognize ongoing availability. Set clear expectations for your availability and expected turn around times for grading and stick to them. Create events in the Calendar block for ongoing office hours and include grading expectations directly within each Description text area for each activity that requires manual grading.


Be Engaged

In addition to information delivery, online facilitators are active members of the learning community. As such, the facilitator should participate in discussion forums offering guidance to clarify misconceptions, redirect off-target thinking, and keep students focused on the topic. This participation brings with it an opportunity to encourage multiple perspectives, and summarize and synthesize existing threads to encourage deeper exploration.

Using the Advanced forum's private reply feature gives you an opportunity to comment on a specific user's post, allowing only you and the user to see it. In addition, when you respond privately to a forum post, you constructively create support inside of the forum. Simply check the Private reply box before saving changes when replying.

When using the private reply function, indicate to the student that the post is private and that the other participants in the course have no indication that a private reply was made.


Be Real

In order for students to trust you, they need to know who you are. Before you begin facilitating a course, one of the first things you want to do is make sure that your profile is configured for your facilitation style. In addition to enabling email and selecting your preferred digest type, determining your auto-subscription and forum tracking preferences and consider how you can use this Moodle feature to reveal your own story and bring your presence into the online classroom.


Be Supportive

Arguably, one of the most important responsibilities of the online or blended learning facilitator is providing personal and constructive feedback to student contributions that guides learners toward improved performance.

Sharing ideas or suggestions during the revision process is important to students' growth. The Joule grader allows for viewing and posting comments between the grader and learner on Assignment and Advanced forum activities. These comments display in the participants' User report as well.

Moving from Multitasking to Mindfulness

Moving from Multitasking to Mindfulness | Aprendiendo a Distancia | Scoop.it
“The faculty of voluntarily bringing back a wandering attention, over and over again, is the very root of judgment, character, and will. No one is master of himself if he have it not. An education which should improve this faculty would be the education par excellence. But it is easier to define this ideal than to give practical directions for bringing it about.”
William James, (1842 – 1910)
Psychologist, Philosopher


Looking out at our students in classrooms today, with their texting, Facebook updates, Instagram messages, e-mail checking, Google searches, and tweeting, it’s hard to imagine what was so distracting for college students more than 100 years ago when James made this statement. Yet, even then, he recognized the propensity of the mind to constantly seek novel material, to leap from thought to image to belief to fear to desire to judgment and back again — all following one’s own quirky train of thought resembling the chaotic movements of a swarm of bees around a hive. Time passes through a warped dimension when the student finally returns to some semblance of attention, unaware of all the cognitive detours taken between points A and B. And that’s just the internal process, prompted by nothing in particular. How much more distraction is invited by today’s mobile technology?
