Moodle, the classroom management system we use at St. Olaf, has been adopted by nearly half of our faculty members, and, of course, most of our students use it in at least some of their classes. While faculty members know a lot about how we use Moodle, we know very little about how our students use it. Kari's recent dissertation research investigated student use of Moodle by examining what students "click on". She'll provide us with an overview of her research, followed by specific examples of how students use Moodle. Each example will provide an opportunity for discussion of what we can learn from these student practices, how that might affect our approach to Moodle, and how we can use this understanding to improve our students' learning.
