Foundations in Moodle 2 for Educators by Jeffrey Johnson (and 1 other) I originally developed this tutorial series for a colleague of mine who wanted to use Moodle with her high school students but was unsure of where to start. I spent some time on the web looking for resources that might help her with the software, but I was unable to find any that were comprehensive or affordable.

I decided that I would write and record a couple tutorials for her that would cover the basics of the program. After I finished one tutorial I would think to myself, "I just have to include one more tutorial covering another facet of the software. " Needless to say, about 50 tutorials later I felt I had something that would really lay the foundation that she needed.

Just in case you are wondering what Moodle is exactly... Moodle is this free, open-source, learning management system wherein educators can create online learning environments for their students. It is comprehensive and meant for those of us who have never used the program before. ...this course is for you! Online Shakespeare Course: Shakespeare After All with Harvard Faculty.
