Moodle Feature Tools
KPU uses Moodle as its primary learning management system to support face-to-face classes in addition to digital learning environments offered partially or fully online. In Moodle, instructors can share course content (print or multimedia), engage students with discussion forums, manage assignments and quizzes, as well as give grades. Moodle offers many plugins to allow for integration of other technology tools we support (e.g., Kaltura, H5P, PebblePad).

Poodll
Poodll creates interactive content to build language learning, audio and video recording in Moodle. It can be used as audio/video assignments and quizzes for assessments as well as content driven activities for learning. Poodll gives students opportunities to practice what they learned (Source : Poodll documentation). Poodll includes four tools.

| Language activities are combined into a self-guided lesson. It is comprised of a sequence of lesson items. MiniLesson combines several auto-graded language learning activities into a simple self guided online lesson. | ReadAloud is an activity designed to assist teachers in evaluating their students reading fluency. Students read a passage, set by the teacher, into a microphone. Later the teacher can mark words as incorrect and get the student WCPM (Words Correct Per Minute) scores. | Poodll Solo is an activity designed to give students speaking practice. Students record themselves speaking about a topic, transcribe their own speech and receive feedback on their work. | The wordcards activity module enables a teacher to create custom wordcards games for encouraging students learning new words. Each card contains a set of words/phrases and matching definitions. It is automatically graded. |
