Hands On Moodle

9th June 2006 Moodle VLE Training event

Feedback from previous events highlighted interest from all sectors in the open-source virtual learning environment Moodle. In response the e-learning service project installed a 'trial' Moodle site and organised a 'hands on' training day on 9 June 2006 which was attended by over 30 representatives of local schools, colleges and work-based learning providers. Four expert presenters and trainers led the day which began with Chris Ryall and Sue Crawte from Gt. Cornard Upper School and Technology College who discussed their own experiences with Moodle and also covered a range of generic issues for all prospective school users. The next session was led by Peter Kilcoyne of JISC West Midlands who gave an authoritative introduction to administration issues in Moodle. Following lunch, Geoff Rebbeck of Thanet College led attendees through a range of learning activities in Moodle. Feedback from the event highlighted the valuable contribution of all the presenters and included requests for a further Moodle training event in Autumn 2006. Stand by for 'Hands On' Moodle II.
