Title: Moving from Characteristics to Tools
Course: Stage 2: Course Design and Technology > Section: 4. Choosing Tools, Consolidation and Evaluation

Now we explore how these available Moodle Tools can assist you to make your 12 identified course characteristics evident in your online course using the affordances shown in the Moodle Tool Guide.

Look again at the characteristics you have chosen and which high-level course aspect (colour) they fall into. Think about the Moodle tools or resources that you will need to use so the characteristic has a clear effect on the student experience of the course.

Some of these characteristics many be interpreted in multiple ways: e.g. Be aware that "Rapid Feedback" can be interpreted in two different ways::

1. Through automated evaluation (Quiz), which fits into the Reflection and Demonstrations aspect.
2. Like Text Feedback, which can fit into the Communication and Collaboration aspect.

Facilitators will demonstrate the mapping process and how to complete the template for the related activity.

Now undertake Activity 2.7: Mapping course characteristics to potential tools (synchronous and asynchronous)
