Moodle

The following five goals framed our thinking on specific pedagogic and structural components of the VOOC:  
Meaningful – To enable meaningful learning, we will provide content that stimulates understanding of core concepts and their relationship to the world.  
Engaging – We will keep the course engaging to limit attrition by providing feedback for completion and/or inactivity, communities of interest, and public recognition for accomplishments.
Measurable – Both students and instructors will have access to measurable progress on usage of learning objects and technology, as well as success in understanding course concepts.   
Accessible – The content and structure of the course is designed to be accessible to matriculated students, other participants and individuals interested in applying of WBL.   
Scalable – To achieve massive scale, the course is designed for thousands of students using automated systems.  Instructors will have three points of contact throughout the course – 1) creating content, 2) managing operations, and 3) assessing the results. None of these three hinder scalabilities.
