Reimagining the Moodle Database activity: Design ideas for engaging learning

Often underestimated, the Moodle Database activity holds surprising potential for engaging, interactive learning experiences. This session showcases how it can become a dynamic resource for student engagement, contribution, and reflection.

We start from everyday teaching situations — such as activating prior knowledge, gathering feedback, or building shared knowledge — and show how creative uses of the database activity can enrich these moments.

For each case, you’ll see a hands-on example and get practical tips on how to adapt similar designs in your own Moodle course — without complex setup or coding.

Whether you are teaching large lectures, small seminars, or supporting self-paced learning, attendees will leave with fresh ideas and flexible templates to bring new energy into your course design.
