Learning Management System (LMS)

Moodle

I’m off to my first Moodle workshop on Wednesday afternoon in Chilliwack.  Wade Gemmell (@wadegemmell), SD33 vice principal, is hosting the session and has provide attendees with space on one of the district servers hosting Moodle.

Moodle is a Course Management System (CMS), also known as a Learning Management System (LMS) or a Virtual Learning Environment (VLE). It is a Free web application that educators can use to create effective online learning sites.  Moodle focuses on interaction and collaborative construction of content.

I’m looking forward to learning how to use Moodle to build online content.  How to add resources to Moodle.  Understand the differences between resources and activities, and find resources for my grade levels.  We also plan to set up some routines so we can continue the learning remotely via Elluminate.
