2, Theory
The Moodle VLE is build upon the foundations of constructivist & social constructivist learning theories, but there are a range of theories used to plan and create learning materials
Cognitive Learning Theory:
Knowledge, understanding, application, analysis, synthesis, evaluation (Blooms Taxonomy)
Constructivist theory:
Summary: Constructivism as a paradigm or worldview posits that learning is an active, constructive process. The learner is an information constructor. People actively construct or create their own subjective representations of objective reality. New information is linked to to prior knowledge, thus mental representations are subjective.
Originators and important contributors: Vygotsky, Piaget, Dewey, Vico, Rorty, Bruner
Keywords: Learning as experience, activity and dialogical process; Problem Based Learning (PBL); Anchored instruction; Vygotsky’s Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD); cognitive apprenticeship (scaffolding); inquiry and discovery learning.

Self-assessment (formative), teacher (formative for own teaching needs/summative)
Conditionality
Reflective practice
Describe a range of assessment techniques and tools you could use on a VLE (summative/formative assessment)
Describe an activity using a VLE tool you could use for an assessment
5, Identifying opportunities
