Last summer I did my first course for the Centro Linguistico di Ateneo (CLA) at Rome Tre University. I used their Moodle Forum extensively. For those who don’t know, Moodle is web-based teaching platform. It was the first time I’d used anything like this in my teaching and I was very interested to see how it worked. Thanks also to a great group of students, the course was a success. Because of this success, CLA asked me to take part a seminar on using the forum and this is the presentation I gave there.
