Time is flying by and the start of the new academic year is nearly upon us (eek!). Many of you are starting to look at your online teaching and learning provision and especially, your Moodle spaces. The DLT team are hosting a series of training workshops to help Lancaster University staff make the most of our virtual learning environment (VLE). The first two training sessions will happen in September. These are hybrid sessions that are free for staff to attend. The in-person sessions will be held in Library Training Room 1<\/a> and links will be shared with all registered attendees to join via Microsoft Teams.<\/span><\/p>\n

The links below show the topics we will be covering in each of the sessions and will take you to the sign up page to register for your place.<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Introduction to Moodle<\/a> – a\u00a030-minute introductory session looking at Moodle, which is Lancaster University\u2019s Virtual Learning Environment (VLE). This session covers what Moodle is, what it does, and how staff can access and interact with it.<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Course administration in Moodle<\/a> – this 60-minute session looks at the management of Moodle spaces and will detail Moodle\u2019s links with LUSI, the student records system, as well as how to manage materials and participants (staff and students).<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Further sessions will be held in October and November on assignments and quizzes. These will be in-person workshops where you will get a chance to work with the DLT team on setting up assessments, online marking and more! Keep an eye out for future posts on these sessions.<\/span><\/p>\n

    All the sessions that we offer are not just for new staff at the University. They are also suitable for staff who have used the VLE before but want to build their confidence and explore more of what Moodle can do!<\/span><\/p>\n

    We look forward to welcoming you at the sessions as well as the Moodle drop-ins<\/a> we are currently running throughout the rest of August and September. You can see all of the sessions the DLT team are running via the Events<\/a> page on the Staff Intranet.<\/span><\/p>\n

    If you have any specific questions about your Moodle spaces or online teaching and learning, don’t hesitate to get in touch<\/a> with one of the Digital Learning Facilitators.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
