Description

Extensive reading has become a cornerstone of language learning, and the MReader quiz database has long supported teachers and students in setting goals and monitoring progress. This roundtable will explore the current and future collaboration between XReading, a subscription-based extensive reading platform, and Moodle Reader, a free resource that provides quiz-based assessments of students' reading. Both platforms rely on the MReader database for quiz access, so a collaborative working framework is essential. The session will begin with an introduction to XReading, highlighting its role in extensive reading pedagogy and a vision for its future development in collaboration with Moodle Reader. This will be followed by a technical overview of Moodle Reader’s back-end structure, including its reliance on the mReader API and considerations for improving integration with XReading. Finally, the discussion will focus on a classroom example of how XReading and Moodle Reader can be used together to create a cohesive reading program that incorporates both digital and paper books, maximizing student engagement and progress. The roundtable will conclude with an open discussion, allowing participants to share insights, raise questions, and discuss ideas about these tools' future development and practical applications in extensive reading programs.
