What are good designs/design principles for Moodle. My current institution has adopted Moodle as its institutional LMS as of 2010. Due to my role, I haven’t really had to think about how you best go about designing a Moodle course. Now, however, due to the curriculum mapping project it is likely that I am going to have to engage with this.
Hence the question, what are the different principles, guidelines or approaches for designing a Moodle course site? Why do you ask? A part of the aim of the curriculum mapping project is to map the alignment of course activities, resources and assessment against graduate attributes, learning outcomes etc. I’m only looking at a very small number of courses, however, these are courses put together by academics who care about their teaching, who want to make an effort.
It appears that, in order for the curriculum mapping project to fully enable the mapping of activities, resources and assessments against outcomes etc, it will need to make recommendations for better course design.

Having grown from nothing just fifteen years ago, the network has become one of the principal influences in our lives. We trust the network; we depend on the network; we use the network to make ourselves more effective. This state of affairs did not develop gradually; rather, we have passed through a series of unpredicted and non-linear shifts in the fabric of culture. The first of these shifts was coincident with the birth of the Web itself, back in the mid-1990s. Drawing the curtain on this more-or-less vapid era of the Web, the second shift began with the collapse of the dot-com bubble in the early 2000s. This is when things start to get interesting, when ideas like Wikipedia begin to emerge.
The final shift occurred in 2007, as Facebook introduced F8 , its plug-in architecture which opened its design – and its data – to outside developers. This educational field is brand-new. But how? II: The Unfinished Project. Summary of Constructivist Theory.
