A 3-day, on-premises, intensive workshop organized by LEARN in collaboration with EduNET.LK. Venue: From 7 to 9 February 2023, IT Center, Univeristy of Peradeniya

This workshop aims to train the participants, starting from a fresh Moodle site, to set it up to suit their organization and also to take the responsibility to run the site as its site administrator.

This is an instructor-led, on-premises workshop with a heavy hands-on component. In three full days, totaling six sessions of 3 hour duration each, the participants will be guided through a series of short inputs and comprehensive hands-on exercises on practice Moodle sites.

Learning outcome: After successfully completing the workshop the participants will be able to:

• customize the site’s appearance to suit their institution
• plan and implement the user authentication method(s)
• plan and implement the course category hierarchy to meet the needs of the curriculum and handle the end-of-year transition
• plan and implement the enrolment method(s) of users in the courses, also streamlining the procedure through global groups
• manage courses, specifically backup courses, restore them, archive completed courses
• extend Moodle through additional plug-ins
• continuously monitor the site for its health

Target Audience: Moodle LMS administrators of LEARN member institutions
