@birv2 I've done asynchronous in Moodle, although not exactly project based learning. I think Moodle works OK for async, depending on what you want it to do and what features you have access to in your Moodle instance.

@olsen Could you share a bit about the course you offered asynchronous with Moodle?

@birv2 sure. My current course is a MS level data science python programming course. I use the "lesson" activity to give material to learn, including "check your understanding" questions throughout written or video explanations. I mostly like the lessons, especially because I can use regular expressions to check answers on the questions. I also use the forum for discussion, although it's one of my least favorite forum setups that I've used.

@olsen Thank you for the detailed response! I'm at the other end of the ed spectrum, ie: MS to me = Middle School. And I do entirely PBL stuff. So for instance, to teach game coding, they create a game (Python, Scratch, Minecraft) and learn stuff as needed as they go. I provide support and answers along the way (video, handouts). I'm playing with Moodle to see if that would support that mode of learning.
Thanks again!

@olsen I've had some success with CodingRooms. I know some of the people there, and it's a pretty cool platform, allowing co-coding, etc. I'm not sure if it would be suitable for people at your level.
I did get Moodle installed and running on my personal website, so I"m playing with it a bit. Also investigating MoodeUS for hosting in the future if necessary. Best of the season to you, and thanks for being willing to chat!
