This story is inspired by Matthew 18:1–5. We had just traveled from Galilee and stopped near the far side of the Jordan River. Bodies pressed close together and the dry, warm air caused me to be uncomfortable. I think it was ego that caused my friend to ask Jesus who would be greatest in heaven. […]

When I was writing The Prayer List, I asked our daughters (now adults) what they remembered about family prayer from their childhoods. Ellen promptly responded by reciting the prayer we most often said together at bedtime: There are four corners on my bed. There are four angels round my head. Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, […]

Internationalisation of the Curriculum (IoC) has become quite the catchphrase of late in both secondary and tertiary institutions. For teachers of Foreign Languages (FL), this takes place by ensuring students are able to use the FL in real world situations with peers in different countries. This method of teaching a FL, by ensuring your students are linked with peers in other countries during their learning journey, is known as “Virtual Exchange” (VE).

The best companion an educator can have on their VE teaching journey is Moodle. The International Virtual Exchange Project (IVEProject) started in 2004 by Professor Eric Hagley has used Moodle from its outset. Since 2015, when the IVEProject became large-scale, more than 60,000 students from 30 countries have participated.

The numerous reasons Moodle is the chosen platform will be outlined in this webinar, in particular Moodle’s ability to be customised. Custom modules will be showcased and information on how the IVEProject has influenced some parts of Moodle core code will also be outlined. The ways that Moodle and the IVEProject have made IoC achievable for many around the world will also be shown.

This webinar is part of the course 'Moodle Academy webinars'. You have to be enrolled in this free course to register and join the webinar.

How are we to interpret the alternately serendipitous and disappointing, unexpected and unpredictable, courses of our lives? What is happening when death or financial disaster force us to reconsider what we want from life, when teachers or mentors find and nurture talent we didn’t know we had, when we succeed beyond our wildest imaginings, when […]
