Teach an online course in your school system with LEARN NC and Moodle. We’ve made LEARN NC’s Moodle platform available to all public school teachers in North Carolina, enabling schools of any income level and geographic location to increase their teaching capacity online.
Getting started
You must first complete the Moodle Training course. Moodle Training will introduce you to the basics of managing a course online. You’ll learn to set up and grade tests, uploading assignments, having online discussions via Moodle’s interactive message boards, and more.
Choose your course
LEARN NC gives you the option of creating a course from scratch, or adapting a copy of one of ours. Please see our list of currently shared courses to see which course is right for you.
Cost
If you have taken Moodle Training, there are no costs to creating, sharing or teaching courses on the LEARN NC Moodle server.
How to request a course
When you complete your training, LEARN NC will create a new copy of the course you request. You can then customize or edit your course to meet your system’s needs.
You can submit your request online by going to our course copy request page. The registrar will then provide you with information on how you and your students can access your course.
