About LEARN NC
LEARN NC, a program of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
School of Education,
finds the most innovative and successful practices in K–12 education and makes them available to the teachers
and students of North Carolina — and the world.
Moodle Training - Carolina Online Teacher Program
This course is part of the Carolina Online Teacher Program (COLT), a series of courses designed to prepare online instructors.
Note: completion of LEARN NC’s Blackboard Training course satisfies the Moodle Training requirement. In addition, if you expect to teach online using a different learning management platform, you can submit a description of the training you received. If approved, it will also fulfill the Moodle Training requirement. To submit your training, please contact Ross White.
Begins August 5
In the summer of 2008, LEARN NC will offer all of its courses on the Moodle Learning Management System. Moodle’s widespread use throughout North Carolina and open-source development made it a logical and cost-effective platform.
As a result, to continue making online courses available to public schools throughout North Carolina, LEARN NC is proud to offer Moodle Training. Develop capacity within your school or school system to offer K-12 and professional development courses online. You can create your own course, or use a course developed by LEARN NC. All LEARN NC courses are aligned to the North Carolina standard course of study.
Each workshop is completely online, giving participants the opportunity to experience online learning from the student perspective while they learn how to customize a course of their choice.
Please note: After June 23, all participants in Moodle Training must register for an account on LEARN NC's new registration system. At that time, you will create an account, and the registrar will ask you for your preferred username.

Course objectives
Moodle Training is different from LEARN NC’s five-week Teaching Online Courses, which focuses on online pedagogy. This course prepares individuals to customize a course that has already been developed in the Moodle Learning Management System, i.e., platform training. Instructors learn all that they need to know for using the software.
For Current Blackboard Users
LEARN NC is currently formulating a migration plan for existing Blackboard users which includes free Moodle Training for users who have completed LEARN NC’s Blackboard Training course. Users who wish to transfer their existing Blackboard courses to a different Blackboard server will be able to request course archives at no cost. As additional details become available, we will post them to www.learnnc.org and make them available as system announcements on our Blackboard server.
Registration
