Program OVERVIEW (80 CPD credit units/hours)
It is a combined training and certification program aimed at ALL (new users or users with little experience) who want to learn Moodle, work/experiment with their own educational material and finally obtain the Moodle Educator Certificate.
The successful completion of the MEC Course, certified by an international accreditation body, confers 80 continuing professional training units (CPDs) equivalent to an estimated 80 hours of learning time, according to Continuing Professional Development (CPDs) standards.
It takes place in two phases:
In the first phase at Widetraining.gr…
- You study and participate in all the activities of the courses Introduction, Advanced, and Educational Moodle courses to acquire the necessary knowledge
- You study some additional specific resources (accessibility, attributing, feedback) that are directly related to the proper creation of a course
- You digitize your own educational content in the Sandbox course based on the instructions you have in 6 (or 7) Moodle assignments and the feedback you get from the Instructor Team
- You collaborate with your classmates in a dual role of teacher/ learner
The second phase follows at education.moodle.com for the Certification process. Keep in mind that the more work you put in the first phase, the easier you will complete the second!
Details

• The required information, utilizing Moodle Resources and Activities from official Moodle training resources.
• Detailed terminology dictionary with entries, which are included as educational resources in the main body of the course
• Forums to communicate, share ideas, resolve queries, troubleshoot and collaborate
• Polls, where trainees’ opinions on the value or usability of the tools listed are recorded and made public
• Self-assessment tools, which enable each learner to evaluate their learning progress and the level of knowledge and skills they have acquired.
