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 using a ChatGPT AI called Develop Online Courses.
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.
Manager of a Moodle Site (MOMS) course is a free 4-week training course for advanced Moodlers who have developed their own Moodle courses and wish to practice the features available to managers of a Moodle site. The course includes user, course, and other manager activities. Advanced learners, who receive a certificate of completion from previous Moodle for Teachers courses on how to teach with Moodle can go on to learn how to manage a Moodle site. The course takes place in May of each year.
Admin of a Moodle Site is a 4-week online course with a certificate for those who complete the tasks that with the duration of 30 hours. There is no need for a Moodle site. Participants will be able to practice on a core Moodle site provided for them. They will learn everything there is to know about managing a Moodle site as the admin and learn to upgrade and install Moodle plugins. The tuition is $50.
