Moodlerooms

Moodle 501 is a 2.0 CEU (20-contact hour) instructor-led, interactive online course.

Over 14 consecutive days, participants should expect to spend on average from one to two hours each day (depending upon prior knowledge, skills and experiences) completing Moodle 501 activities and building their Practice Course. Throughout this course, there are tasks and assignments to introduce basic Moodle course design, activities, modules and features that participants integrate into their own Practice Course to be used with their own students at a later time.

During Moodle 501, participants move from exploring and using Moodle from the perspective of a learner to doing so primarily from the perspective of an instructional designer or instructor.
