    Part of our Teacher training programs, this course offers an unusual take on learning the Moodle LMS.

    Mont Blanc

    You'll be exploring the standard features of the Moodle LMS as a student while planning a trip to Mont Blanc.

    You don't need to know anything about climbing to do this course - but you need to want to learn how to use Moodle as a student to help you use it as a lecturer!

    Once you've explored it, why not recreate the activities in our Moodle Practice (LMS training 02) sandbox?
