About the Workshop:
A Learning Management System (LMS) is used to organise an online learning environment. Typically an LMS provides the means to track users, assess performance, deploy content, and access general administrative functions such as management of users’ records. It will greatly facilitate the conduct of a course. In formal degree programs it can support all activities from registration to the awards of grades to the students. The server on which this LMS runs is usually located in the college or department or any where in the world. The instructor and the learners can access the system from anywhere with an Internet connection. At its most basic level, an LMS gives educators tools to create a course website and provide access control, so only controlled students can view it. Aside from access control, LMS offers a wide variety of tools to make learning more effective. It provide an easy way to upload and share materials, hold online discussions, and chats, give quizzes and surveys, gather and review assignments, and record grades. Moodle is an open source LMS that university, colleges, businesses, and even individual instructors use to create and manage their courses. More than 30,000 educational organizations around the world currently use Moodle to deliver online courses and supplement traditional face-to-face courses. Moodle is designed to help educators to create online courses with opportunities for rich interaction. Its open source license and modular design means that people can develop additional functionality.
The Workshop facilitates the participants to create and conduct a course on the Learning Management System using Moodle.
