Moodle Tool Guide for Teachers
I recently found this awesome reference guide, created by Joyce Seitzinger, that shows a simple traffic-light system to see if the tool of choice is ‘appropriate’ for what you are trying to do (assessment, collaboration, etc).
Please look through this, it is a really simple and effective way to present the information.
I have worked on a version for the Business School at Bournemouth University, that covers the same kind of information in Blackboard, but have added a few of my own interpretations on the tools and reasons for using them. I will try and upload it here at some point.
Thanks for the kind words David. Yes, I think this would work for many LMS systems and I’m quite interested to do one for web2.0 tools too.
Glad to hear you’re doing a Blackboard one. I’ve been out of Blackboard for 3 years, so wouldn’t know the finer points of the tools anymore. Do let me know when you post it. I’m trying to collect all translations & adaptations on my blog.
Also if you have time, can you take a pic of yourself with the Moodle Tool Guide? It’s becoming a fun little side project :-). Just send it to @catspyjamasnz…
Thanks again!
Joyce
You might like to see a similar document, although Blackboard Learn 9.1 focused, created by the folks at CSU: Fresno.

Just making sure you’ve seen it.

Hi Mike. Thanks for pointing this out, I hadn’t seen it before.
I too worked on a version for Blackboard which I presented to the Bournemouth University Enhancing Education Conference in May this year: view/download it here http://www.slideshare.net/hopkinsdavid/blackboard-guide-for-tutors
All the best, David
