Learnt a great deal about the application and how to use it. It stimulated a great deal of thought. Interesting ideas for ways to apply Moodle have come out of it. Looking forward to putting a course together.

Course benefits

Site administrators perform an important function of managing the Moodle site on a day-to-day basis. They often have exclusive access to settings and options that can impact dramatically on the experience of participants within courses and the degree to which the Moodle site aligns with the wider objectives of the organisation.

Our intensive course provides a wide-ranging overview of the administrative functionality that non-technical users* need to be familiar with to manage a Moodle site effectively and to make informed strategic decisions about site set up. This course will help you make the correct decisions first time round.

*Technical users find this course useful too!

Who should attend

• Aspiring Moodle site administrators
• Current Moodle site administrators
• Project managers and entrepreneurs who need to make a rapid assessment of Moodle's suitability for implementation in their organisation

Can I roll up my sleeves and get stuck in?

Throughout the day you’ll have full administrator access to a Moodle site. The subject matter of the course means that this day isn’t as hands on as our other courses but we’ll make live changes to the training site wherever we can so we see settings in action. We’ll be asking and inviting questions about your site throughout, so pay attention at the back!
