Today, on the 26 December, I have attended the workshop "More Learning with less Teaching", presented by a Moodle expert, Yuri Vedrashko, who is visiting Kyiv from the Higher Colleges of Technology in the UAE.
The presenter has demonstrated how Moodle (Modular Object Oriented Dynamic Learning Environment)
can be used to efficiently deliver not only static content, such as electronic books, to a larger audience at a distance,
but also how this CMS (Course Management Systems) can help deliver study content in the form of dynamic learning objects
or interactive online activities.
 The participants have experienced advantages of learning a foreign language through an interactive learning object with multimedia input, i.e. an interactive Moodle Lesson and electronic test with instant marking and feedback, all based on a comic strip. They have also had an opportunity to share with one another their views regarding the design of the interactive lesson,
quality of the input and pedagogical implications of using Moodle as their primary environment of instruction delivery.
