Abstract:
It is increasingly important to use the web 2.0 tools in teaching activities. This poster aims to show the usefulness of linking and embedding Web 2.0 tools with Moodle, specifically Google apps through a simple HTML element:"iframe". Moodle is a LMS without connection out of platform. With this HTML element you can display external content on the platform, without leaving Moodle. It is even possible to publish and edit documents from the restricted access Moodle platform.The steps to embed the tools begin with a choice of the desired tool, then generating its corresponding code. Finally, the “Iframe” code is prepared for publication inside moodle. The "Iframe" allows using within Moodle different external applications. Some of these allow published information inside Moodle course via emails, allowing posting images by mobile phone, updating and collaborate in documents and including external calendar.Keywords:
