The first Moodle MOOC started in 2013. Moodle MOOCs take place once a year in May. The goal of the Moodle MOOCs is to introduce the participants to a learning management system called Moodle so they can use it to teach in face-to-face, blended, and in fully online programs. The Moodle MOOCs take place on the latest stable Moodle version. There are 3 courses available for beginners and advanced Moodlers. This course is for beginners. Participants will learn about and practice using the activities, resources, and blocks available in their very own Moodle course.
This course is for advanced teachers of Moodle. Develop a Moodle Course (DaMC) is a 4-week online course. The content of DaMC focuses on tips and tricks for Moodle teachers. The course is for participants, who have taught at least one Moodle course and know how to add activities, resources, and blocks. They will learn how to edit the course, add enrollment methods, enroll students, learn about course completion and competencies, how to create certificates and tips and tricks on how to engage learners in collaborative peer-based learning activities.
