Moodle is taking the world by storm. There are in excess of 2 million courses delivered worldwide to more than 25 million students using Moodle, the leading free open source course management system for online learning. Using Moodle you can develop engaging online resources that are targeted to the exact needs of your students rather than relying on the ‘one size fits all’ approach.

The course is designed for heads of department or teachers with responsibility for ILT wishing to create and further develop outstanding teaching resources for their school or college Moodle site. During the day, delegates will create and develop resources that can be used within the classroom the very next day! Each delegate receives a comprehensive set of help sheets, video podcasts and exciting software covering not only the topics outlined but how to take Moodle to the next level. Delegates also receive free access to resource updates as well as limited ongoing technical support through www.imaginativelearning.co.uk.

IMPORTANT to get the most from the day please bring along any resource material you are keen to develop further and ensure that you have access to your Moodle site with at least one course established.

• A comprehensive range of course materials that can be used the very next day thus saving delegates hours of work
• A CD-Rom containing photographs of exemplar material used on the course
• Access to a computer suite for the day
