We are currently planning the staff development programme for adopting moodle. Based on feedback, we will be organising subject-based sessions. This means that we can tailor sessions to the needs of the subject and focus on questions and issues pertinent to specific teams.
Amanda Hardcastle from Staff Development has kindly agreed to co-ordinate and arrange these sessions, which will be delivered by Mark Dransfield and Blayn Parkinson between May and October 2010.
The initial Fundamentals and Orientation sessions will cover the basics of moodle. The half day sessions will introduce attendees to the new environment of moodle and will cover some of the core functions, such as uploading files and organising content. By the end of the session attendees should be able to:
Be familiar with the moodle environment
Access moodle in a variety of ways
Organise the layout of their online courses
Upload learning materials and other content such as module handbooks
Add some basic activities, such as discussion forums
Understand how students are enrolled and how to control their access
Know where to look for help and advice
We will be following up these sessions with Carpe Diem sessions. These are more focussed inputs, aimed at spending devoted time with individuals, getting their courses ready for delivery by September.
From October onwards, we will be offering more in-depth sessions covering how to get more from moodle.
