Our Languages@Warwick portal (built on moodle 2) has a shared portal called EWC which unites over 900 students. The tasks involve uploading images to a moodle forum and participating in activities which use the collaborative potential of Google docs and forms. Tasks are demonstrated in class time but most of the work takes place during the students own time. The role of the teachers is to support and encourage. Rate this
