One of the advantages of hosting my own website is being able to experiment with a variety of tools, specifically those available for free (or low-cost). Without an upfront cost, I tried Drupal. It was incredibly difficult to use without any training so I deleted it (also didn’t need content management system YET). After taking a couple of online courses, I decided to give Moodle a try. I found much easier to use. In the last couple of days, I’ve started creating an outline and structure for a course. It needs a lot of work, but so far so good.
Learning Moodle is part of my continuing professional development. Every article about education states that online learning is the future, so to future-proof my skills, e-learning course design and facilitation is something I need to build.
So, if anyone reading this has any tips, or links, please send it along!
