Workshop Overview
The progress of online learning has given a significant impact on the learning approach.
Teachers and learners can reciprocally interact with each other anywhere, anytime. The
content has turned into digital and can be easily disseminated via the learning
management system. The facilitator can creatively package the content together with
the learning objectives, tasks and resources and laid them out in the Personalised
Learning Environment.
The workshop focuses on the design and development of lessons that are catered for
blended and fully online learning. It will also explore all features in Moodle Cloud to
create a highly interactive lesson for better learner engagement in their learning
process. Moodle Cloud from Moodle is easy to use, robust and allows the instructors
to start creating online courses out of the box.
Important note:
1. Please bring your own laptop (with WiFi connection) to the workshop.
2. The workshop is limited to 25 persons only based on first-come, first-served
