As the coronavirus pandemic evolves into a permanent, endemic condition for all schools, educators must decide the educational philosophy to guide choices of whether to do classes on-line, in-person, or some version of blended learning. To make that design decision, this short presentation investigates the role of the physical/virtual presence of the teacher, the physical/virtual actions of students, the use of realia, printed and digital materials, and spaces/locations used in education with the Moodle LMS. It is a theoretical introduction to the question of embodiment in education, the diverse modalities of interaction, as well as critiquing the material/human semiotics of the online classroom vs. the face-to-face classroom. I will give some examples of performance-based use of Moodle (i.e. presentations, teacher-training, internships) with classroom activities using face-to-face technologies and asynchronous activities using Moodle plugins for performance learning (Video Assessment Module). Also, I will demonstrate assessments that engage the body as well as the mind (rubrics focusing on non-verbal behavior). This short talk will also introduce practical implications for research in this area, as participants will be invited to be co-researchers on a permanent Moodle whiteboard.
