Imagine you're building a new home. You've carefully selected a builder, reviewed various styles of houses, scrutinized floor-plans, picked out cabinetry, flooring, paint colors, and lighting. Now it's time to break ground. You stop over to check on progress and you watch as things come together. With all that you have invested you dream of a solid, beautiful final product. The details will matter. You want a strong foundation, sturdy walls, electric and plumbing that adhere to code, and a stylish interior design. Once all those pieces come together you will be one happy home owner!
OpenLMS' "Build a Better Course" is designed to help you build upon your existing foundation of MoodleTM knowledge and skill. This course consists of modules, paired with 'webinar workshops' over the course of five weeks. Following a kick-off webinar, where we provide an overview of the sessions, participants will gain access to two modules at a time within a supplemental MoodleTM course. In each of the remaining weeks, we will hold a webinar to cover the key points of those two modules and hold an open discussion/Q&A session on those topics.
Timeline
Course will kick off on February 15, 2022.
Each weekly webinar session is recorded in the event you are unable to attend the live sessions. Participants can expect to spend approximately 2-4 hours per week between the webinars engaging with the supporting content and activities. By the end you'll be well positioned to construct your own well-built, long-lasting course!
