Well, the wonderful people that I work with have done it again. This time, they’ve rolled out the Frayer Model in Moodle. Once again, the Database activity forms the base for this work. The students can then enter relevant information (Concept, Definition, Image, Example, and Non-Example) to create a Frayer model.
Here are the fields for the student to complete:
Students enter all of the required fields (those with a * ). Once they do, a Frayer Model will be created for them.
When the student places a mouse over one of the fields, the information is brought forward.
Since this is a Database activity, the work that students do can be shared with the entire class (or not). If you want all students to share, simply leave Approval set to “No” (in the Entries section). Conversely, if you want each student to only see their own work, set “Approval required” to “Yes” (and don’t approve anything).
Here is Mr. Chris Kenniburg explaining the process.
You can download an example from MoodleNet as well. Once you download the zip file (do not unzip), create a new Database activity. In the new Database activity, select the appropriate settings. The first screen will ask you to “Start building your activity”.
Click the “Use a preset” button. Then, on the “Action” button, select “Import preset”.
Drag your zip file that you downloaded into the box.
Click the “Import preset and apply” button.
Remember to review the Activity Settings to make sure all the tips above apply.
