Mastering Moodle™ Workshop Activity with Hands-On Training from Pukunui
Successful online courses don’t just happen-they’re driven by clever course design, meaningful peer engagement, and well-configured tools. That’s why Moodle workshop training matters. At Pukunui Sdn Bhd, we offer focused, expert-led sessions that teach educators and professional trainers how to run impactful peer assessment activities using the Moodle™ Workshop activity. If you’re teaching online and believe your learners would benefit from interactive grading and feedback, this hands-on training is designed to help.
Make Every Submission Count with Peer Assessment
The Moodle™ Workshop activity is a sophisticated tool designed for peer and self-assessments. Used well, it deepens student learning and shifts focus from passively receiving grades to actively engaging in feedback loops. But here’s the tricky part: it’s only effective if you know how to design phases, configure settings, and manage submissions properly. That’s where our training comes in.
- Practical Feedback Training: Learn how to guide students in giving rich, constructive feedback through clear marking guides and criteria.
- Assessment Phases Explained: Understand each stage-submission, assessment, grading, and how to manage deadlines across them.
- Anonymous or Not? Discover when and how to set up anonymous peer assessments versus open grading environments.
Customising Moodle™ Workshop Activities to Fit Your Course
Out of the box, the Workshop activity is potent. But it shines when customised to support your learning objectives. During training, we walk you through everything from configuring grading strategies to uploading exemplar submissions for calibration.
- Set up rubric-based marking or comment-only modes depending on your learning goals.
- Guide students through self-assessment features to build reflection into the learning cycle.
- Use upload settings and submission instructions effectively, so students aren’t left to guess what you want.
Setting the Stage: Configurations that Matter
Great Moodle courses start with thoughtful settings. Our Moodle workshop training covers the technical setup in detail:
- Default Parameters: Learn which workshop settings trip people up and how to avoid common pitfalls.
- Group Modes: Control whether students work in cohorts or the whole class, beneficial for blended courses.
- Grade Calculations: Balance submission and assessment grades or weigh them based on your course priorities.
Creating a Moodle™ Course Around Workshop Activities
Workshop activities aren’t standalone; they should live inside thoughtfully designed Moodle courses. We guide you through course structure and layout considerations so the Workshop fits seamlessly within your learning flow. You’ll also get tips on course management and how to scaffold tasks leading up to the assessment phase.
Examples of Workshop Integration
- Match workshops with prior forums or glossaries to promote idea development.
- Use conditional release settings to ensure learners complete a quiz before proceeding to a peer review.
- Embed H5P examples to demonstrate what good submissions look like
