 * So,why a 5-Day Training Course in Moodle?**

The goal for this training course is that when a teacher completes the 5-day training is that an //**entire 1st semester course**// is fully developed in the Moodle environment for that teacher's class. The concept is ambitious and aggressive. When you think about it, what is included in an entire semester? How long would it take for an individual teacher to go through all of the resources he or she has at their disposal in order to fully implement an entire course from scratch?

If a teacher can gather together all, or a major portion, of their existing course tests, quizzes, worksheets, course CDs or DVDs, instructor manuals and textbooks and from these resources, build a comprehensive first semester course and be well on their way to being able to independently have the knowledge and tools and support to complete this task in a 40-hour week. **Note: If a teacher can have as much of their course material in a digital format, ie on a CD, Flash Drive, PDF Files, Word Documents or other kinds of digitized files, the process of placing this material in Moodle will go much quicker and smoother.** This is the reason that 5 days was selected.

When you think of the time needed to develop just one traditional written test, how long would you expect for that to take? 1 hour, 2 hours or more? So, to repeat the goal of this training is to completely develop an entire first semester in an online environment, Moodle, for the experienced teacher, bringing their expertise, expectations and their course documents, the need for a comprehensive training schedule becomes obvious.

Anyone who is ready to take a traditional classroom course to an online platform.
