 Activities

A number of different types of activities can be added to your Moodle ISU course. Activities generally require an action from the student.

The Attendance module allows the instructor to track attendance within Moodle ISU and assign a grade in the gradebook. Instructors can determine the points for present, late, tardy, excused or other attendance criteria.

The Moodle ISU chat tool allows you and your students to communicate synchronously using an instant messaging type format. This tool is commonly used for creating virtual office hours or online chat class meetings.

The Choice activity allows an instructor to ask students a single question and offer a selection of possible responses.  With this tool you can assess basic understanding of a topic, take a quick poll, and/or ask for group member preferences in learning activities, among other things.

The Database activity allows instructors and students to build, display and search a bank of record entries with specific fields.

The External tool enables Moodle ISU users to interact with LTI-compliant learning resources and activities on other websites.

Forums in Moodle ISU allow students to answer questions, reply to one another, and discuss specific topics.
