Foreword
Science Teaching with Moodle 2.0 is a irst both for Vincent Stocker and myself; it
is Vincent's irst Moodle book and it is the irst time I have been asked to write a
foreword. Beyond that though, Vincent deinitely has the edge on me. While I have
experience of Moodle and have written about Moodle, Vincent both knows about
Moodle, has written about Moodle and is also very competent in Science Teaching.
As a schoolgirl, I veered strongly towards Arts and Humanities subjects and have
always had an admiration for those who can get their heads around the complexities
of nature and the Universe (not to mention equations and formulae!)
I have learned from this book and so will you. Vincent has done a sound job in
explaining ways to use Moodle 2.0 to make the most of your Science teaching. Starting
from the basics of layout and ile upload, he moves quickly to Moodle's favored
interactive, collaborative modules. In times where student feedback, assessment for
learning, and progress monitoring are increasingly embedded into our teaching,
Vincent shows us the Moodle way to achieve all these, and as the icing on the cake,
the inal chapter brings in a comprehensive list of added extras—contributed modules
which should soon be 2.0 compliant and the best of the Open Web. Scientists—and
those of you of a scientiic or mathematical persuasion: Enjoy!
