Moodle is a freely available open-source learning management software system that is commonly used in high school settings for delivering Web-based instruction (http://www.moodle.org). This presentation will offer ideas, strategies, and resources for using Moodle to support high quality chemistry instruction for blended learning (face-to-face instruction augmented with the Web) as well as online learning (Web-based instruction only). In addition to Moodle, software plug-ins will be discussed that add interactive elements specific to chemistry (e.g., interactive molecules). The strategies discussed will focus on student-centered techniques for leveraging the available software tools for achieving mastery learning and inquiry-based instruction.
