  • MEC start dates

    •  MEC start dates are: 1st February, 1st April, 1st June, 1st August, 1st October. You must register well in advance as payment is required before the start date. 

    • The course content is in English. We are currently supporting MEC with facilitators who speak the following languages: English, French, German, Greek, Danish (maybe Spanish in the future). This means your assignments can be completed in these languages.

  • MEC modules

    • MEC consists of 6 modules, with two design challenges (practical exercises) in each.

      The 6 modules are:

      • Assessment strategies
        • Align learning objectives and learning activities with appropriate Moodle tools for assessment
      • Integrating Moodle
        • Focus on innovative ways to use Moodle to reflect on progress and inform future learning
      • Facilitating accessibility
        • Respond to learners’ diverse needs and ensure accessibility to learning resources and activities
      • Creative instruction
        • Manage content and teaching interventions to implement activities that reinforce learning objectives
      • Gathering feedback
        • Track performance to evaluate, assess, and provide feedback to inform future learning
      • Collaborative learning
        • Enable the exchange of knowledge and resources to foster learner collaboration and peer learning

  • Essential information

      • All content and assessment is 100% online - you can complete the MEC from where ever you are on the world as long as you have a compiler and internet connection.
      • The course is asynchronous - there is no requirement to be online at any set time.
      • You have an MEC facilitator+assessor assigned to you at the start.
      • MEC is not for those new to Moodle. You should be an experienced teacher, and have used Moodle for AT LEAST a year or two, and be familiar with the main elements such as all the main Activities, using Groups, Gradebook, Communication tools, Resource types.
      • Each MEC assignment (6 required) will take a couple of hours each week for you to complete. You must keep up-to-date week by week to be successful.

  • MEC process

    • Our standard process is for you to take MoodleBites for Teachers before you compete your MEC. This will ensure you have all the gaps in your knowledge addressed before you complete each MEC assessment. This will take 2-3 hours each week, depending on your previous knowledge and experience.

      A fast-track option will allow you to take MoodleBites for Teachers in parallel as you compete your MEC. This is a far more demanding approach, and has major considerations:

      • It will require 4-5 hours of your time every week (that is a lot of time for a busy working person)
      • Because the process and assessments are compressed, you should already be expert with Moodle, because your time to learn complete new things is very limited.
      • It may not be possible to 'switch' from fast-track to standard process if you find it too demanding (which may mean you need to start again, and pay again).
      • Therefore, we highly recommend you follow the standard process, unless you are a highly skilled and experienced Moodle teacher, familiar and confident with most Moodle activity types.
