This intensive, four-week-long workshop is designed to engage you in theories and practices of online learning and teaching with Learning Management System Moodle. By successfully completing the program you will be ready to teach blended online learning (BOL) or blended learning (BL) courses using Moodle.

In the workshop, you will be introduced to online learning pedagogies and best practices, to the process of systematic instructional design. Moodle course development tools will be demonstrated, reviewed and practiced. You will work together to design or redesign your course syllabus, integrate synchronous and asynchronous learning activities into your course, develop assessments for online learning, and share and reflect on the process of developing online or blended online courses. This course is blended online per se, delivered via the platforms (Moodle, WikiEducator and WiZIQ) that are available to anybody for free.
