Fee: $2000.00 CAD + travel and accommodation (as required)
How We Begin
Once you ask us if we are able to train you how to use Moodle, we ask you what your organizational goals are:
- What you want to use Moodle for?
- The technical skill level and abilities of your participants?
- Your experiences working online?
- An estimate of when you want your students/clients/users to start using Moodle?
For our in-person training, we develop an agenda based on our experience with what we think you will need to learn to accomplish your goals. We always leave time for you to ask questions and learn what it is that you want to learn.
What You're Left With
We've experienced too often, the consultants who come and go far too quickly. We don't want to do this to you! We want to leave you with something that you can refer back to as you work with your students. We develop a Moodle page in our site or yours which hosts all our training materials and resources. We begin a forum for you so that you can talk to us and each other after we've left.
