Review of the MoodleCafé on Course Room Design
Source: Own illustration
Students will be familiar with this: course rooms in RWTHmoodle either contain summaries of the respective lecture or seminar or are a hodgepodge of content. But they can also look different: clearly structured and filled with all the content that is important for the course. In addition, there are also various options for interactively deepening learning content or submitting assignments. Although forums, assignments, and tests are among the most frequently used activities, Moodle offers much more to facilitate the learning experience for students. The fifth MoodleCafé therefore focused on course room design. Two practical examples were used to show how design principles can be implemented effectively.

This semester, the event series focuses on the topic “Best Practice in RWTHmoodle – Structured, visually clear, and didactically diverse course rooms”. The aim is to highlight the diverse design options offered by RWTHmoodle and discuss practical examples. Teachers from various disciplines will present their Moodle course rooms and show how structure, didactics, and design interact to optimally support learning processes.

Following the successful piloting in the summer semester of 2025, the development of our RWTHmoodle course templates will continue. In the winter semester of 2025/26, we will provide you with improved and expanded templates and would like to invite you to try them out in your courses.
The goal of the course templates is clear: they are designed to help you structure your learning spaces in a clear and didactically meaningful way. Everyone benefits from the design: uniformly designed learning spaces make it easier to find your way around and provide a better overview of learning objectives, tasks, and individual progress.

Were you booked in at least one learning room as a student, additional participant, supervisor or learning room manager in the summer semester 2025? Then take your chance from August 4 to 24, 2025 to contribute to the improvement of RWTHmoodle and the support services by participating in the usage survey.
