Moodle for Teachers (M4TEVO15)
Moodle for Teachers (M4T) EVO 2015 (M4TEVO15) online session will take place on a Moodle website called Moodle for Teachers (M4T). Participants will be able to participate in live online classes and view the recordings from the Moodle session area. The aim of the M4T workshop is to provide participants, who have never used Moodle or who would like to enrich their previous Moodle experiences, with the knowledge and skills to navigate a Moodle course, access resources, activities, and blocks from a student perspective and practice the same Moodle features in practice areas as teachers and managers of a Moodle course. The participants will develop a lesson in teams in a Moodle course of their own.
M4T EVO 2015 requires participants to be active at least 10 hours a week on theoretical and practical aspects of online learning (individually and in teams). Participants will learn about resources, activities, and blocks as students and practice the role of a teacher in setting up resources and activities and in the role of a manager to set up blocks in a Moodle course. In addition, teacher will have access to the admin settings for courses and for user enrollments. Participants will learn to create tutorials and collaborate with students using Jing, screencast-o-matic, Movenote, Present me, SlideSpeech, Google drive, Crocodocs) and authoring tools (Youtube, Vimeo).
