Since most of today's students can appropriately be labeled as "Digital Learners", why do so many teachers refuse to enter the digital age with their teaching practices?

Congratulations to our Build and Deliver a Short Moodle Course graduates!
by Monika Jankowska-Pacyna - Wednesday, 5 May 2010, 12:25 PM
 
computerCongratulations to 17 adult literacy educators from across Ontario who invested 50+ hours of professional development time this winter to increase their skills using Moodle.

Between February 8 and April 23, by taking the Build and Deliver a Short Moodle Course training, they refreshed Moodle skills learned in an earlier Introduction to Moodle training, developed a three-week course for literacy students or peers, and delivered that course. The courses they developed, depending on their participants, were offered on one of three virtual classroom sites: the Virtual Classroom for Adult Learners site, the Laubach Training Post site, or the CNIB Virtual Classroom site.

New skills these trainees gained include:

  • an introduction to the Book and Certificate features of Moodle
  • how to add audio recording to text in Moodle
  • strategies for developing a course outline
  • tips on how to facilitate learning online
  • what to consider when building an online course to make facilitation easier
  • In this training, participants learned a lot from each other through forums and by sharing access to each other's courses.

    Eight educators weren't able to complete this training for personal and work-related reasons. Congratulations to them on the time they invested. Some are returning to complete what they started!

    Congratulations to all graduates for your strong and demonstrated interest in including technology resources in your literacy practice! You all worked very hard and should be walking and Moodling proud!

    This Moodle training course was developed and delivered during the 2009/10 fiscal year and was funded as a project. Active members of the project Advisory Group included staff from the Anglophone and Native e-Channel lead agencies and Contact North. A staff person from the Francophone e-Channel lead agency was kept informed of the project. Hayley Mundy from Data Solutions is preparing a final evaluation report for this first training effort.

    AlphaPlus staff learned a lot from supporting this training and thank all trainees, course learners and participants for their active participation and reflective comments.

    Moodle, an online course management system, is a free, open-source, community-based software package designed using sound pedagogical principles to help educators create effective online learning resources and communities.

    Our first Build and Deliver a Short Moodle Course graduates are:

  • Helen Brodbeck - East York Learning Experience
  • Karen Bosworth - York Region District School Board LBS
  • Wendy Conway - Program Read
  • Robyn Cook-Ritchie - Laubach Literacy Ontario
  • Nida Doherty - Consultant
  • Jennifer Ellis - Midland Area Reading Council
  • Susan Gadsby - Community Living Brant
  • Lee Garrett - CNIB Deaf/Deafblind Hamilton
  • Roger Hannon - Georgian Literacy
  • Chris Harwood - Consultant
  • Jennifer Hewitt - Upper Grand District School Board
  • Cheri Hills - Niagara West Learning Resource Centre

    Introduction to Moodle grads say:

    I would definitely recommend this training; it provided valuable insight into a flexible, user-friendly teaching tool that can dramatically increase the horizons of training learners and, possibly, for delivering tutor training as well.
    Summer/2009

    I think this is a wonderful resource for both practitioners and learners. It opens doors and minds and invites collaborative learning for both.

    Summer/2009



    Moodle is an excellent platform about new ways to instruct online and to learn about and practice new technology.

    Fall/2009

    Since the course is so open-ended, I believe the quality of learning is directly proportional to the time you have to devote to the course.

    This course has been tremendously useful for me. I have been teaching Moodle courses to students that I never see, and this time I got to teach to the students in my classroom. It was an eye opener. Winter/2010

    My overall experience was awesome. This is the type of thing that I like to do. I will definitely build, develop and deliver another course using Moodle.
    Winter/2010

    I had a great experience developing my course! In fact, the major challenge for me was NOT to be Moodling all the time and for my full-time job and personal life to have any of my undivided attention! Will I develop another course? For sure! I've already requested space for three courses.
    Winter/2010

    What was your experience like? First of all, I had ulterior motives - such as trying out some new activities as well as integrating Moodle's philosophy. It was a wonderful experience and hopefully I have succeeded in creating a positive and supportive learning environment.
