Create text content collaboratively

Kurzinformation

In RWTHmoodle, students can create texts collaboratively by working together on content. Numerous tools are available for this purpose:

    The Glossary is intended in particular for defining terms and discussing them.
    The Database enables a flexibly customizable collection of information.
    The Wiki enables the collaborative creation and editing of content.
    The Board enables the collection, exchange and discussion of contributions in a structured format, similar to a pinboard. It can also be used as a Kanban board.

1. What activities are available in Moodle that can be used for collaborative content creation?
 

1.1. Glossary

  • A glossary allows participants to create and maintain a list of definitions, similar to a dictionary.
  • Students can add new terms and comment on existing entries.
  • The glossary promotes collaboration and the exchange of knowledge between participants.
  • The optional automatic linking of glossary entries means that wherever a glossary term appears in the course room, the glossary entry can also be called up.
  • Instructions for configuring and using the Glossary


1.2. Database

  • The Database activity allows participants to create structured data sets and comment on them.
  • It offers customizable fields and templates for a variety of usage scenarios and promotes the collaborative collection of information.
  • Entries can be created on any topic and provided with images, files, links/URLs, numbers, texts and much more.
  • The Database can be used for various purposes such as collecting research data, creating more complex course glossaries or sharing resources.
  • Instructions for configuring and using the Database
 

1.3. Wiki

  • In Wikis, all participants can work together on content.
  • In a single Wiki, many pages can also be clearly connected with links.
  • As changes are recorded in versions, they can also be undone retrospectively.
  • Instructions for configuring and using the Wiki


1.4. Board

  • Students and lecturers can work together on a digital “whiteboard” in the Board and attach digital post-its.
  • Posts can optionally be supplemented with a link, an image or a YouTube video.
  • In addition to sharing resources, the “Board” can be used in many other ways, e.g. as an alternative to the traditional “Tell us about yourself” forum, where each course participant briefly introduces themselves on a digital post-it. It can also be used as a Kanban board.
  • Instructions for configuring and using the Board
