Getting Started with the Personal Learning Designer (PLD)

The PLD in Moodle enables educators to create personalized learning pathways, tailoring content and activities to individual student needs.

Key Features

• Drag-and-Drop Interface: Easily design pathways with activities, resources, and conditions.
• Conditional Logic: Set rules for progression (e.g., complete Activity A before accessing Activity B).
• Integration: Use existing Moodle activities (quizzes, assignments, forums) within pathways.
• Progress Tracking: Monitor student progress in real time.
• Flexibility: Adapt pathways to different learning styles, paces, and goals.

Building Blocks in PLD

• Actions: Steps or tasks a student must complete in a pathway (e.g., “completing a quiz,” “submitting an assignment,” “participating in a forum.”
• Events: Events are triggers based on student activity or performance (e.g., scoring above a certain percentage or submitting an assignment.)
• Conditions: Conditions are rules that link actions and events. Conditions can be prerequisites, performance-based, or time-based.
