Our experience in online support for learning and in more general educational technology has led to the creation of a number of presentations to inform and engage e-learning professionals in most education sectors at meetings and conferences. The presentations, some of which are intended as general introductions to the subjects for non-specialists, are fairly short but can be extended with questions and answers if required. We are sometimes able to deliver these presentations on an expenses-only basis in return for our contact details and a flyer being included in conference packs. More details on our website.

This is our sample Moodle, where we try to show that it can be exciting, involving, interactive and fun. We use standard Moodle functionality plus loads of stuff from around the web.
Quick tips for enhancing learning
Moodle as an intranet
There can be advantages to using Moodle as your intranet too - one is simply that it builds familiarity.
Portable Learning
Laptops, netbooks, smart phones. Where will it end? Wherever that may be, on the way there are some great learning possibilities.

This course is being built to demonstrate the various quiz tools available in the Hot Potatoes quiz creation package. Hot Potatoes quizzes may be easily incorporated into Moodle courses.
This course is an example of how Moodle can be used to support face to face sessions. The Moodle course is divided into Topics. The didactic content has been derived from a number of sources (see the disclaimer at the top of the main page), while the interactive content (discussions, wikis, chats, journals) have been created for demonstration purposes. As a guest on this course you can view all the content but you must not edit or update any of the interactive sections.

This course demonstrates the use of the "page" (or "flexpage") format, which allows a more flexible, heirarchical navigation system than the tradition column-based topic and weekly formats.
This example course shows the use of a number of interactive teaching tools. Moodle is based on social contructivist ideas, so learning from multiple sources and sharing that learning is very important if learning is to be enhanced.
This course is a container for the downloadable Learning Objectivity localhost implementation of Moodle 2.0 (Release Candidate 1) packaged together with Mowes II, and tweaked to enable Moodle 2.0 to run from most Windows XP, Vista and 7 machines. Note that it requires Port 80 to be available and will not therefore work if Skype is grabbing that port (see the Skype advanced options) or if IIS is running.
No warranties, no guarantees, and certainly no liability for use or results of any type accepted - we're making this available simply so you can have a play! Do not rely of Moodle 2.0 staying the same - this is only Release Candidate 1 after all - and don't use this code as a basis for a live/production version of Moodle.
Sorry, but we can't provide support for this package - it's used at your own risk, and if it doesn't work, you'll need to delve in there yourself!
This package uses other free and/or open source software whose copyrights are acknowledged. Please acknowledge Learning Objectivity if you pass the package on to anyone else. It took us a long time to get it all to work - please don't pinch it!
This course teaches you how to use a number of available tools to create screencasts (i.e. to grab what's happening on the screen and comment on it in some way). So for example, you could show teachers how to upload materials to Moodle, or show learners how to submit assignments.

This is a "sandbox"! In other words, it's an area where we'll try things out during staff training sessions. This area allows you to pretend to be a student using Moodle. You'll be asked to use this area at times during the session.
Additional diploma in literacy aimed at those with a generic teaching qualification and who may need to include basic literacy as part of their course.
The ILM level 3 Award is designed to give new or existing managers an introduction to management training and a recognised certificate that can lead to the certificate or diploma or higher level qualifications.
This course contains the revision notes for some of our training sessions. These are in PDF format and can be easily printed if you prefer to work from paper. Many of the procedures described in the step by step online sections in "Guidance" are included in these revision notes.
This is the online summary version of our face to face non-technical Moodle Administrator session which may be accessed only by trainees who have attended that session.
