Characteristics of MoodleReader (1) An interface for students to take quizzes on the books that they have read and to keep track of the results. Quizzes for 600+ books, mainly graded readers, can be downloaded and used with the module. Teachers can also create their own quizzes. Students collect a book cover for every book read and quiz successfully passed. The module allows access to books at specific difficulty levels that can be set for each student. Students are automatically promoted to a higher difficulty level after reading a specified number of books.

Students are automatically promoted to a higher difficulty level after reading a specified number of books.

Characteristics of MoodleReader (2) A configurable feature enforces a time delay between books so that students pace themselves rather than rushing at the end of the marking period. The module can be installed in a school’s own Moodle system, or can be used via a course in the freely available site. Currently being used by about 20 secondary schools and universities.

Changes in School Ecology Network Center – Originally unwilling to add non-standard modules to school Moodle but will now install MoodleReader Library – Budget no longer a problem, but space is! Many students appreciate the chance to do extensive reading (but of course, some hate it). opportunity to inform the Gakucho and deans about the ER program and English curriculum.
