Moodle "Course Creator" Training Course - Thursday 4th & Friday 5th February 2010 at Kingsway English Centre, Worcester.

Moodle is an Open Source Course Management System (CMS), also known as a Learning Management System (LMS) or a Virtual Learning Environment (VLE). It has become very popular among educators around the world as a tool for creating online dynamic web sites for their students. The Open University is the second largest Moodle deployment by user-base, with over 600,000 users and 4,000 courses. For more information on Moodle itself please check out http://docs.moodle.org/en/About_Moodle

We at Kingsway are developing our own online learning facility to complement what we do in school and have teamed up with an official Moodle partner company to run a training course to teach teachers how to create materials and courses for Moodle. During this course you will learn how to :

• Set up a course from scratch identifying the key settings that impact on the format and management of the course.
• Upload and manage your own resources and make them available to participants.
• Create online resources and weblinks and make them available to participants.
• Create activities for assessment, collaboration and communication using a range of Moodle tools.
• Monitor participant activity within a course.
• Re-use and archive activities and courses.
