Many in the online learning space recognise the name Joyce Seitzinger. Apart from being an utter and complete legend, Joyce is a Digital Experience Leader in industry. Eons ago, Joyce had the initial idea of a guide unlike any other for the learning management system (LMS) Moodle.

It would go through every available tool or asset and outline:

  • purpose of the tool in the context of being part of a course
  • how easy it is to set up (from a development standpoint)
  • how useful the tool is for transferring information to learners
  • how useful the tool is for assessing learning
  • how useful the tool is for communicating
  • how collaborative the tool is — does it allow for co-creation of content?
  • which Bloom’s Taxonomy verb the tool relates to.

All wrapped up in a colour-coded table using traffic lights = green to go, amber not ideal but still functional, red doesn’t work at all.

The latest iteration can be found here:
