Moodle is more than content delivery; it is an effective tool to build cognitive learning processes. But how do teachers use this tool to create authentic learning opportunities and encourage student metacognition to ultimately build these processes? This presentation will focus on theory and practice in an attempt to answer that question. It will discuss the research behind higher order thinking and will show examples of how to engage students in the metacognitive processes of understanding themselves as learners through the use of Moodle. Examples will be drawn from secondary Social Studies, Mathematics and Science courses.
