Can Moodle Increase Learner Autonomy?

Abstract

This paper discusses concerns about increasing learners’ autonomy through the use of learning management systems, and specifically through the use of one of these, Moodle. I will comment on some of the ways using a learning platform may not increase learner autonomy but also offer examples from two different subjects that I believe do increase learners’ autonomy. Students’ opinions of their work with Moodle will also be included.
