E-VOTING - ENHANCE DIGITAL NATIVE STUDENT INTERACTIONS WITH A NEW VOTING ACTIVITY IN MOODLE

摘要

The voting systems in the classroom or distance learning represent an asset when animating large classes, increasing interactivity, decreasing the participants' disengagement or help the professor to transform the students' initial concepts on the course content. The e-voting activity in Moodle is open source and free, enables a non-intrusive, simple and pleasant way to insert this type of activity in the learning process. The technical evolution used to collect the answers to the questions in the classroom, serves a fundamental pedagogic aim: engaging students to become actors of their own learning transformation. Xenophon, a Greek author born in 430 BC, already claimed at the time: 'Asking a question is teaching'. An activity such as e-voting for Moodle modernises the process while maintaining its usefulness and its educational wealth.
