5. What student engagement is to us Student Engagement is about
involving and empowering our learners with e-learning. We encourage
the use of Moodle tools that promote interactivity. Such tools
should help the student organise their own learning and contribute
to their student experience, especially through the use of online
submission, feedback and badges. 5
6. What we have done to drive it Student Satisfaction Surveys
for e-learning and Computer Facilities Increased staff adoption by
making Moodle easier to use and understand (through systems
integration, INSET days, ongoing training and support) Greater
Adoption = More courses and resources This has a positive impact on
student engagement 6

31. A2 ICT Marple The data shows that last year there were no
posts indicating a lack of interactivity in the course. Activity
this year is obviously high and linked to online assessment
submissions and feedback through Moodle to students. Views are also
significantly higher indicating greater student interaction with
Moodle. 36

34. Creative Media BTEC L3 The old Moodle model allowed all
students to see just one course. This course was large and could
not be automatically transferred and all material has had to be
manually downloaded or recreated. Some material is still being
transferred. This is common on all BTECs and has caused a slow
start to usage. 39
35. Continued The new Moodle allows students to only view the
course they are enrolled on. To overcome the need for teachers to
duplicate material, all students are being manually enrolled on the
largest year 1 or 2 qualification available. Usage is significantly
down for one of our highest used courses Historically and there is
still a requirement to build on the interactivity within the
course. 40

trialling using the Feedback activity within each course. Learner
Voice will be collected from January automatically This will also
promote usage of Moodle If successful this could be used as a model
for other curriculum areas. 42
