With my last post about working at the Clovis Online School, I wanted to talk about course management software. As a master's student at Cal Poly Pomona in Educational Multimedia and as a teaching credential student at Fresno State, I have experienced Blackboard on the student end, but not the instructor end. As a teacher at the Clovis Online School, I have used Moodle on the instructor end. This experience has helped to create student-centered lessons and activities as I have experienced both ends of course management software. It would be even more beneficial if I had the chance to experience the student end in Moodle and the instructor end in Blackboard. To experience a whole class would be the most beneficial.Both Blackboard and Moodle have much to offer in both aspects. Both these management systems have various functions to be utilized by instructors to develop engaging and constructive classes. I would like to learn more about Moodle's learning capacities to develop stronger classes at my current position as an online high school graphic design and technology instructor. My master's thesis project will be focused on building more student-centered, constructive courses at the high school level and beyond.
Thank you for reading my blog and stay tunes for more posts in the near future!!!
