What SENSE Moodle is and how it can help your Research Cluster

All research clusters are now online on the SENSE Moodle website. Each cluster has its own group page in the SENSE Moodle environment.

Go to Moodle Server and click on the cluster, listed under ‘courses’ in the right hand side of the Moodle site. A list of all research clusters is available on Moodle Research Cluster Webpage


What can members do/see there?
On a cluster group page you can find a description of the research topics that the cluster is about. Furthermore you can view interesting documents that are shared within the cluster, such as articles, reviews, and reports and presentations from past meetings. Your cluster page has a group forum where members can exchange ideas and information.


How can cluster coordinators benefit from Moodle?
SENSE Moodle provides several tools for quick and easy information exchange and helps you foster collaborations with researchers working in your Research Cluster(s). You can easily post events, articles and discussion topics using the forums and group e-mails. Cluster activities that are organised, such as symposia, short courses, seminars, ‘meet & greets’, can be posted so participants can meet other people in the cluster in real life. All cluster participants get regular e-mail updates of new posts. You can also send e-mail messages to members. As research fields evolve, you can even start a new research cluster. Sections 3 and 4 contain instructions how you can use these Moodle tools.


How can cluster members benefit from Moodle?
Members will receive regular updates from activities on the page (they can adjust the frequency of updates in the settings of their Moodle profile). In this way members will stay informed of what’s happening in the cluster. Members can also share their own ideas and questions with other cluster members via the forum, or contribute literature to the resource library.
