Updates / Notes

Developer Library Setup Note

This reference library is not a finished curriculum. It is a course development guide that helps developers wrap external resources with context, instructions, activities, assignments, reflection, and wrap-up. CoSpaces and Minecraft links will be added as class links, remix links, project links, and world links become available.

Getting started

How to Use This Library

Work top to bottom, or jump straight to a platform, category, lab, or link bank from the sidebar. Search filters the sidebar by section title, platform, and category.

1

Start with the platform anchor

Pick the approved platform that carries the instructional weight of the module before writing anything else.

2

Choose a course category

Categories carry grade bands, difficulty options, topic ideas, and recommended submission types.

3

Drop into a lab blueprint

Use a 4–6 week blueprint as the skeleton, then swap modules to fit the learner group.

4

Wrap every external link

Context, instructions, activity, assignment, reflection, wrap-up. Never paste a bare link into Moodle.

5

Name the evidence

Every module states at least one submission type before it is published.

6

Log new links

Approved links go in the link bank; anything not yet available stays a placeholder card until it is real.

Instructional standard

LFDS Module Blueprint

Every LFDS module follows the same reusable flow. External resources are never dropped in raw — they are always wrapped.

  1. 1

    Overview

    Frame the topic, objective, and why it matters to the learner.

  2. 2

    Lesson

    Deliver the instructional content in LFDS voice with clear headings.

  3. 3

    Activity

    Hands-on task on the approved platform with student-facing instructions.

  4. 4

    Assignment

    Defined deliverable with stated submission type and expectations.

  5. 5

    Reflection

    Prompt that connects the work back to the learning objective.

  6. 6

    Wrap-Up

    Summary, next steps, and preview of the following module.

Every external resource must be wrapped with

  • Context

Rubric score

Scored rubric attached to the submission.

Instructional anchors

Platform Anchors

Three core instructional platforms plus two placeholder platforms. Every LFDS module should route back to an approved anchor.

Common Sense Media

Core Anchor

Use Common Sense Media for digital citizenship, digital literacy, media literacy, online safety, privacy, digital footprint, AI responsibility, online well-being, cyberbullying, healthy technology habits, and reflection prompts.

Developer note: Common Sense Media should be used whenever a module needs responsible digital life instruction, including safe online choices, healthy technology habits, privacy, media literacy, respectful communication, digital identity, online safety, and AI responsibility.

Code.org

Core Anchor

Use Code.org for coding foundations, computer science, AI, app design, web design, game design, creative coding, engineering/maker connections, programming tools, and project-based coding activities.

Developer note: Code.org should be used whenever a module needs coding, sequencing, algorithms, loops, events, debugging, app design, web design, game design, AI concepts, or computer science practice.

CoSpaces / Delightex Edu

Core Anchor

Use CoSpaces / Delightex Edu for XR design, immersive learning, virtual worlds, 3D design, interactive storytelling, AR/VR exploration, simulations, virtual museums, spatial design, CoBlocks coding, and project-based immersive media.

Developer note: CoSpaces / Delightex Edu should be used whenever students are creating immersive worlds, interactive scenes, virtual museums, digital citizenship environments, simulated spaces, story worlds, or 3D projects.

LearnFree

Core Anchor

Use LearnFree (learnfree.org) for digital foundations, computer basics, internet skills, core productivity skills, Microsoft Office and Google tools, creativity tools, AI skills, career readiness, and self-paced tutorials for older learners and adults.

Developer note: LearnFree is the go-to anchor for Digital Foundations and Artificial Intelligence Foundations when learners need step-by-step, self-paced tutorials. Always wrap tutorials with an LFDS objective, task, and evidence of learning — never assign the topic explorer alone.

DigitalLearn (training.digitallearn.org)

Core Anchor

Use DigitalLearn for plain-language Digital Foundations courses: computer basics, mobile devices, internet navigation, email, online privacy and safety, video calling, online job search, and everyday tasks like healthcare and banking portals.

Developer note: DigitalLearn courses are free and downloadable. Each course typically ships a white-labeled PowerPoint plus a learner guide and an instructor guide. LFDS uses the LEARNER resources for course development — pull the learner handout and slides into the Moodle module, rewrite headings in LFDS voice, and keep the instructor guide as facilitator-only reference. Best fit for Adults / Community and older learners; simplify wording for Upper Elementary and Middle School.

Khan Academy (Supplemental)

Core Anchor

Use Khan Academy as a SUPPLEMENTAL source for Digital Foundations — especially online data security (passwords, encryption, phishing, malware, multi-factor authentication) and computing/communication innovations (email, SMS, social media, how data moves at light speed).

Developer note: Supplemental only. Never assign a whole Khan unit — link only the specific article or activity that matches the lesson objective for the module being built. Khan articles pair well with a short LFDS reflection or a Common Sense Media citizenship discussion, and their interactive activities can be used the same way Code.org labs are used.

Minecraft Education

Placeholder / Future Resource

Use Minecraft Education later for immersive learning, game-based learning, coding, engineering challenges, virtual builds, collaborative world design, computer science, social studies, science, math, arts/design, esports, cyber safety, and project-based challenges.

Developer note: Minecraft Education should remain a placeholder for now. Specific lesson links, worlds, assignments, and class resources will be added later when available.

Teacher-Created Moodle Lessons

Internal / Placeholder

Use this section for LFDS-created Moodle lessons, internal templates, worksheets, rubric links, portfolio assignments, project sheets, and facilitator-created resources.

Developer note: Internal LFDS material only. Keep templates consistent with the LFDS Module Blueprint so every module reads the same way across programs.

Curriculum map

Course Categories

Each category lists its purpose, platforms, best grade bands, module topics, activity ideas, submission types, developer notes, and link placeholders.

Showing 17 of 17 categories

Quality control

Developer Rules

Check these before publishing any LFDS Moodle module.

Do not

  • Do not add random links into Moodle.
  • Do not send learners to external platforms without context.
  • Do not copy copyrighted material into Moodle unless LFDS has permission.
  • Do not present external resources as LFDS-created content.
  • Do not build modules without an activity or submission expectation.
  • Do not create long, cluttered pages without headings.
  • Do not assume learners know what to do.

Always

  • Always provide clear instructions.
  • Always identify what learners need to submit.
  • Always connect the resource to the learning objective.
  • Every lab should include digital responsibility, a hands-on activity, evidence of learning, and reflection.
  • Course builds should be adjusted by grade band and difficulty level.
  • CoSpaces and Minecraft activities must have a clear learning purpose, not just “make something.”
  • Every external platform link should include student-facing instructions.

Working document

Course Planning Template

Draft a module here, then copy the fields into Moodle. Nothing is stored — this is a local scratch template.

Version 1 requires no login or database. Entries are not saved between visits.

Developer tools

Rubric Categories

Reusable scoring categories. Pick three to five per module and state them in the assignment.

Task Completion

All required steps, files, and submission pieces are present and finished.

Technical Skill

Correct use of the platform's tools, features, and workflow for the grade band.

Creativity & Design

Original choices in layout, story, visuals, audio, or world design.

Problem Solving & Debugging

Evidence of testing, iterating, and fixing issues rather than abandoning them.

Digital Responsibility

Safe, respectful, and ethical technology choices demonstrated in the work.

Communication & Reflection

Clear explanation of what was built, why, and what the learner would change.

Collaboration

Contribution to shared builds, peer feedback, and group problem solving.

Portfolio Readiness
