- Have you defined how students should expect to communicate in Moodle (e.g. forums, messages, email):
- Ensure the contact details of key course staff are visible on the Moodle course homepage - this is a requirement of the Moodle baseline.
- Ensure the People block is on the page to allow students a social presence and to see who their peers and tutors are.
- Upload an image for your personal icon (in your Profile) and encourage your students to do the same - they are particularly helpful when scanning contributions on Discussion forums.
- Refer to things consistently using the same terms.
Further ideas
- Set up some form of virtual meeting space for students prior to commencing a course.
- Keep in touch with students during their out of campus activities (hospital placement, field work, etc).
- Students can choose to receive one daily email at 5pm from Moodle forums - and as of June 2015 daily digest emails (as opposed to individual Moodle forum emails) will be the default setting for all staff and students - but you can change this back if you want to.
