Role of a teacher in the classroom and in a Moodle course

The role of the classroom teacher is to manage the classroom in a manner that meets the individual need of each student in the class. This includes promoting learning and activities, using a variety of teaching approaches. 

In a Moodle course technologies are mediators between students and teacher. ICTs can enhance the quality of education in several ways: by increasing learner motivation and engagement by facilitating the acquisition of basic skills and by enhancing teacher training. I think that a Moodle course makes the learning processes easier and more interesting and modern media education cannot be imagined without technologies and e-learning methods.

Student engagement

Students are engaged when they are attracted to their work, persist in despite challenges and obstacles, and take visible delight in accomplishing their work.

In my opinion there are five indicators for student engagement at school:

1. the level of school challenge
2. active and collaborative learning
3. interaction
4. enriching education experiences
5. a supporting learning environment.

I also think that another important step is when teachers clearly articulate learning criteria and provide students with clear, immediate and constructive feedback.
