The Basics of Moodle Learning Activities
3. Adding Interaction, Engagement, and Collaboration
3.3. The Database Activity
The Database activity provides a tool for collaborative development of a collection of data within a course. Teachers can build, display, and search a bank of recorded entries about any conceivable topic using the Database activity. The database can collect information such as text, dates, files, and URLs.
By using a Database activity in
the classroom, teachers can allow students to structure fields for a
project, allow collaboration on building the project and add
participation by allowing students to rate each other's entries. In
addition, teachers can create templates to control the visual layout of
information. The format and structure of these entries can be almost
unlimited.
