"I had a teacher sick the other day and I couldn’t find cover for him. He didn’t think he could get to the computer from home, either. So I took the pupils into the computer lab, logged them into a Moodle chatroom and said, ‘Tonight your teacher will read over this chat log and find out who participated and what each person contributed. He might want to grade you on this discussion. The kids were fantastic. I gave them three or four questions to consider and they worked on them for an hour without complaint. The log was a very clear document for the returning teacher. I would say that the Moodle chat was a far better substitute teacher than I might have found otherwise."

"By giving a quiz as a homework assignment, I can use class time to engage the students in conversation rather than administering some type of assessment. Further, I can review the quiz results and see what topics or questions are most frequently missed and highlight the weaker areas to make sure the students are clear on what I am trying to teach."
