Moodle 2.2 Familiarisation
Topic: Moodle, e-learning
Mode of delivery: seminar
Length: one hour
Workshop description
The e-Learning team have recently been attending a number of Faculty and Department staff meetings to highlight the upgrade to Moodle 2.2, which is due to take place this summer.
To date, over twenty separate presentations of First Look: Moodle 2.2 have been delivered, drawing a positive response from over 400 colleagues who have attended. This seminar represents the next part of the face-to-face support for the upgrade.
Over the course of an hour, participants will be given an overview of the upgrade to Moodle 2.2, and guided through the range of existing and new Moodle features, building a course based around a set of scenarios.
Additional information about the seminar
