Moodle 101 is a 20-contact hour or 2.0 CEU instructor-led, interactive online course.
Over fourteen (14) consecutive days, participants should expect to spend on average from 1 to 2 hours each day (depending upon prior knowledge, skills and experiences) completing Moodle 101 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.
Whereas, during Moodle 100 you explore Moodle primarily from the perspective of learner, during Moodle 101 you explore and use Moodle primarily from the perspective of instructional designer or instructor.
