Course Description

SUGGESTED COMPUTER PROFICIENCY: BASIC

Teaching with the support of an online learning platform wasn’t an established practice until a few years ago. The situation has rapidly changed, however, following the drastic worldwide revolution in education since the onset of the covid-19 pandemic as well as the novel digital agendas recently promoted by many countries in the educational sector.

Moodle is the most famous software application (Learning Management Systems, LMS) used to administer and deliver online teaching, or to support face-to-face teaching with an online learning platform.

It is designed for users who want to quickly learn how to manage an online course but do not have server or coding skills. It is also a flexible software that easily adapts to most different training and educational situations. Finally, it is open source, that is completely free. Hence, it can be adopted by a whole school, but also by a single teacher just for one course.

The course will provide participants with all the basic knowledge and skills necessary to use Moodle to create and administer their courses and lessons. It has a very practical approach, and participants will gain a working knowledge of the main features of Moodle, using the platform with their own computer directly throughout the course.

As a participant, you will learn how to have your Moodle site up and running in a short time frame with MoodleCloud, how to navigate within the Moodle interface, how to manage the roster of students enrolled in a course, and how to create modules and different kinds of activities. Moreover, Moodle strongly supports collaborative learning, and together we will also see how you can use it to create online group activities for your classes.

By the end of the course, you will be able to handle the basic features and functions of Moodle, and to manage your classes in the Moodle platform. You will have acquired many ideas and capacities to simplify the learning process of your students and make online teaching more enjoyable and meaningful to you. Note: Participants are invited to bring their own personal computer, and/or (digital) teaching materials in order to explore the Moodle environment during the course.
