Learners can use their laptops or the desktop computers in the computer lab. The instructor will be using a projector to project the screen up in front of the learners so they can see what to do. For all objectives direct instruction will be used to guide and scaffold the learners through the learning process. Completion of objectives will be assessed by observation and authentic assessment by checking the created items in the Moodle environment.

=**__Practice/Feedback for each Objective__**:= Practice and Feedback will be on-going and incorporated throughout each lesson. It will be incorporated in the content development and will be noted as "[LP]" (Learner Participation).

=**__Learner Grouping__**= Learners will work independently through the training. Specific grouping is not necessary to complete the training. For post training support, the instructor should encourage learners to sit in proximity to other learners from their building.

=**__Media__**=
 * multimedia Projector connected to instructor's computer and screen
 * Computer (laptop or desktop)

=**__Pre-test:__**= Instructor should email the following survey 1-2 weeks prior to the training in order to know where to start the training based on the learners' needs

**__Motivation__**
__Attention:__ To gain the attention of the learners discuss the benefits of implementing Moodle in the classroom. Ask the learners who would like to reduce wasted class time on collecting and handing back assignments. Also ask, who would like to save time grading tests/quizzes. __Relevance:__ To help the learners understand the relevance of implementing Moodle in their classroom, explain to them that it will save them time by not having to pass out handouts, worry if students lose papers, worry about losing student work during the grading process, and even easier grading. Also, it was developed specifically for classroom use with a classroom teacher in mind. __Confidence:__ Build their confidence through the successfu l use of Moodle with repeated practice of creating interactive content for learners using tools such as creating labels, linking to a file or webpage, creating an upload area, and creating a multiple-choice quiz. __Satisfaction:__ Explain to the learners that by implementing Moodle in their classrooms they will be able to save precious class time and not waste it on collecting papers, returning papers, and making sure all students have materials (I.E. handouts). It can eliminate grading when utilizing the quiz feature and users of the course will receive immediate feedback on assessments. Once a Moodle course is created, all materials and created items remain fin the course until deleted, only slight changes to upload areas and/or quizzes would be necessary upkeep from year to year.

It is important for the instruction to inform the learners of their objectives. Following this training learners will be able to:
 * __Learner Objectives__**
 * Create a label for their Moodle course to help organize the Moodle course
 * Create a link to a file or a web site to share handouts, websites, or other resources to users of the Moodle course

**__Entry Skills__**

 * Identify file or web site to create link

**__Recall of Prerequisite Skills__**
[LP]To recall the learners' prior knowledge the instructor will ask what their opinion is of the importance and reason behind a label. Following the label discussions, ask learners if they have ever taken time in class to pass out papers. Ask if they have ever experienced students loosing papers.

**__Information/Example__**
The instructor should follow the steps below:
 * [LP] Once learners have received their confirmation email they will go back to the web browser (which should be on moodle.cocalico.org). Once back on the Moodle homepage, learners should be directed to refresh the page.
 * [LP] Look in the upper left hand corner and locate the "My Courses" area. In the "My Courses" area they should see the name of their Moodle course. Click on their link.
 * [LP] Once in their Moodle course, the instructor will point out the main areas of the page including: the main page area (where links will appear), the left column which encompasses the main features and administrative options, the right column which encompasses the latest updates, upcoming events, and recent activity on the page, the editing toggle button, the role drop-down menu, and the breadcrumb area.
 * [LP] Tell learners to click the Editing Toggle button - to turn editing on. Once editing is turned on locate the "Add A Resource" and "Add An Activity" drop-down menus. Inform the learners that these are the two menus used to add items to their Moodle course.
 * [LP] Inform the learners they will be creating a label to start the organization of their Moodle course. A label will help the users accessing the page to easier locate what they are looking for; it will also help the creator to organize assignments, resources, and curriculum.
 * [LP] Tell the learners to locate the "Add a Resource" drop-down menu. In that drop-down menu they will choose "Add a Label".
 * [LP] Once on the "Add a Label" page, learners will determine what they want as their label. They can also format the label as they wish.
 * [LP] Once finished inputting the text and formatting the label, learners will locate and click "Save and display". They will then be taken back to their Moodle course, once on the page they should see the label just created.
 * [LP] Once back on their Moodle course, inform the learners they will be adding a link to a file or web site. The first step is to locate the "Add a resource" drop-down menu. and select "Link to a file or web site"
 * [LP] Once on the linking to a file page, the first step is to enter a title. The title is what the link will say, so it would be ideal to choose something so users of the Moodle course will easily recognize the name/title.
 * [LP] Once title is entered, a summary of the file is optional. The next section to complete is the "link to a file or web site" section. In this section the learners will be selecting the file or website that the link with link to. To link to a web site, copy and paste the web address in the box located next to "Location". If you are linking a file locate and click "Choose or upload a file"
 * [LP] Once the window opens locate and select the "upload a file" button in the bottom right side of the window. Once the next window opens, click "browse", locate the desired file wanted to link to and select "open". Once opened, learners will return to the upload a file window, where they will see the desired file, and the learners will locate and click "upload this file".
 * [LP] Once file is uploaded, it will be seen on the "Choose a file" window. Once desired file is located, locate the "Choose" link in the same line as the desired file. Once chosen the link will appear in the box next to "Location". Learners must then determine if you want the link or web site to open in a new window on in the same window.
 * [LP] Under the "Common Module Settings" learners must select the visibility of the link. Then locate and click "Save and return to course" button.
 * [LP] Once back on their Moodle course page, learners can check the link by clicking on the link. If the link opens the desired web site or file then the link was successfully created. If the desired web site of file does not open then go back to the beginning of the steps for creating a link to a file or website to make sure all steps were followed properly.

**__Recall of Prerequisite Skills__**
[LP] To recall the learners' prior knowledge the instructor will ask for learners to discuss their experiences with collecting papers in class. How long does it take? Have they every lost a paper?

It is important for the instruction to inform the learners of their objectives. Following this training learners will be able to:
 * __Learner Objectives__**
 * Create an upload/submit area independently for users of the Moodle course to submit assignments

**__Entry Skills__**

 * Complete an online form

**__Information/Example__**
The instructor should follow the steps below:
 * Starting on the learners' main Moodle course page (with editing turned on). Inform the learners they will be adding an area for students to submit or upload their work.
 * [LP] Learners should locate "Add an activity" drop-down menu. In the drop-down menu learners should select the "Upload a single file" option; this will then take them to the page to create the upload area.
 * Inform the learners they will need to make some decisions about their upload area including: when it will be open for students, if re-upload is possible, and late submission option.
 * [LP] The first section to complete are the "general" settings. The next few steps encompass this section.
 * [LP] The first item is to create a name of the assignment. Remind the learners that it is important to choose a name that students will be able to easily recognize and relate to the assignment.
 * [LP] The second item to create is to complete a description. This is a required step; you can include upload directions, specific directions regarding the assignment.
 * [LP] The third item to determine is the point value for the assignment. This is selected form a drop-down menu title "grade".
 * [LP] The next items to determine are the dates and times the upload area will be available for users to upload/submit their assignment. This is selected using the multiple drop-down menus - month, day, year, and time. Notice there is one for the assignment to be "open" and the second for the assignment to be "due". If upload area is to be available at all times check the "disable" boxes to the right of the drop-down menus
 * [LP] The last item under the general settings is to determine if you would like to allow students to be able to submit their assignment past the close/due date. This is a drop-down menu with a "yes/no" option.
 * The next section to complete is the "Upload a single file" section.
 * [LP] In this section there are three drop-down menus. The first is to decide if resubmitting will be allowed. The second is if the creator will receive email alerts when a item is resubmitted. The third is the maximum file upload size; this could vary depending on what is being uploaded/submitted to the teacher.
 * The last section to complete is the "Common module settings". This is seen throughout the Moodle editing pages and is always the same.
 * [LP] If you create separate "groups" or classes you can choose to have the groups separated, not separated. The next option is the visibility of the upload area to students. The "ID number" or "Grading category" are only necessary to complete if you are using Moodle as an accurate grading system.
 * [LP] Once all sections are completed locate and click "Save and return to course"
 * [LP] When learners are back on their main Moodle course pages, have them locate their upload area.

It is important for the instruction to inform the learners of their objectives. Following this training learners will be able to:
 * __Learner Objectives__**
 * Create a simple objective (multiple-choice) quiz

**__Entry Skills__**

 * Have at least five multiple-choice questions prepared to create quiz

**__Recall of Prerequisite Skills__**
[LP] To recall the learners' prior knowledge ask about their experiences with grading quizzes - pre, post, and even practice. Allow for short discussion.

**__Information/Example__**
The instructor should follow the steps below:
 * Inform the learners the next item to cover is to create a multiple-choice quiz. This is done in two major steps; first creating the shell for the quiz, and second adding the questions to the quiz shell.
 * [LP] First, locate "Add an assignment" drop-down menu and choose "quiz"
 * [LP] Once the quiz page has opened inform the learners that they must create a name. Remind the learners to choose a name that the users will recognize easily. Also, in the "Introduction" area, tell the learners to NOT put important directions in this section because the learners only see it before they start the quiz.
 * [LP] The next section to complete are the "Timing" settings, which includes when the quiz will be available, if there is a quiz time limit, and a delay between multiple attempts. Have all learners decide based on their preferences
 * [LP] The next section is the "Display" settings, which includes how many test items per page, if questions should be shuffled, and if the answers within the question should be shuffled. Have all learners complete the section based on their own personal preferences
 * [LP] The next section is the "Attempts" settings, which includes how many times the students can take the quiz, if each quiz attempt will build on the previous, and if adaptive mode should be used. Adaptive mode will allow for partial credit of some questions - for this quiz choose "No" for the adaptive mode option. Have learners complete the other options to their preferences.
 * [LP] The next section is the "Grades" section, which includes the grading method, how many decimals, and penalties applied (which only has an effect in adaptive mode which we do not have on for this example). Have all learners complete the options to their personal preferences.
 * [LP] The next section are the "Review options". This is what items and feedback the users will see at different times once completed with the quiz. Have all learners make choices based on their preferences.
 * [LP] The next section is "Security". Inform learners they must decide if they would like to have a password on the quiz to protect it from users entering at any time. This again is based on personal preferences.
 * [LP] The last section to complete for the quiz shell is "General Feedback". Inform the learner that this feedback will be seen once the quiz is complete. Learners can complete certain feedback to attach to certain grades. This is again based on personal preferences.
 * [LP] Once all options are complete based on the learner's preferences inform the leaners to locate and click "Save and return to course"
 * Inform the learners that the quiz shell is now complete. The next step is to create questions and to add to the quiz shell.
 * [LP] Once back on the main page of their Moodle course, have learners locate the quiz shell they just created and click on the link.
 * The new page that opens will have two columns; to the left will be the questions in the quiz (which should be blank at this point) and to the right is the question bank (which is where the questions are created).
 * [LP] On the right, under the question bank section, locate the "create new questions" drop-down menu, and choose "multiple choice"
 * [LP] The first step is to give the question a name. Make sure to let the learners know that the question name should be recognizable to them. Inform them that the name is the way they will determine what questions get added to the quiz shell.
 * [LP] The next step is to complete the question text. This is the actual question and/or specific directions for this question.
 * [LP] For the point value, have the learners keep them as the default settings for this quiz.
 * [LP] Learners can also choose if only one answer or multiple answers are correct from the appropriate drop-down menu
 * [LP] The next step is to complete the answer choices. Type the answer choice next to the word "answer", and assign the 100% for the correct answer. Learners can add as many answer choices as wanted. Remind learners to assign credit for the correct answer
 * [LP] When answer choices are complete, learners can fill out general feedback for questions in which the quiz takers earns 100%, partial credit, or an incorrect answer. This is optional.
 * [LP] When finished, locate and click "save changes"
 * It will take learners back to the quiz questions and question bank page. The new questions just created is located to the right under the "question bank".
 * [LP] To add a question to the quiz click on the "<<" to move the question into the quiz.
 * [LP] Learners will need to repeat the steps for creating a question until all questions are created and added to the quiz.
 * [LP] When the quiz is created, learners can preview the quiz by locating and selecting the "Preview" tab on the top center of the page. The preview will give the creator an idea what the quiz taker will see when taking the quiz.
 * [LP] When completely finished and pleased with the quiz, navigate to the main Moodle course by use of the breadcrumbs. Later changes can be made to the quiz by clicking the link to the quiz

=**__Post-test:__**=
 * Refer back to the learner's checklist as a self-assessment method
 * The instructor should tell the learners: You have 45 minutes to demonstrate your ability to use the Moodle tools independently to create a "Moodle course" which needs to include a label, a link to a file or website, an upload area, and a five question multiple-choice quiz. This "Moodle course" needs to be created in section #5 of your Moodle page.
 * Use the following evaluation method: [[file:Post-test Eval]]

YOU ARE CHECKING THE COMPLETION OF TASKS HERE. IS THAT THE TRUE TEST OF A SUCCESSFULLY CREATED MOODLE COURSE? yes, after talking to Al, this is what he recommended. A "quiz" doesn't truly tell me if they can complete the tasks independently; they must actually complete the tasks AL NOTE: You are creating a course using these "TOOLS" the key thing is that you are teaching them tools to construct a Moodle "course/page". You are correct (Kelli and I have talked about this)... but the wording is tripping us up.
