Chapter 6: Adding Social Course Material

Social course activities encourage student-to-student interaction. Peer interaction is one of the most powerful learning tools that Moodle offers. It not only encourages learning, but also exploration. It also makes courses more interesting, which increases student participation and satisfaction. This chapter teaches you how to add social resources to a course, and how to make best use of them.
