What's Moodle? Since 2000, the College has been using Blackboard as its learning management system (LMS). Beginning in spring 2010, the college is migrating from Blackboard to Moodle (originally stood for Modular Object-Oriented Dynamic Learning Environment and now its own name). Moodle is designed to provide faculty and students with an easily accessible online course tool that promotes integration and collaboration, activity-based learning, critical reflection, etc. Its open source license and modular design means this software is more flexible and has functions that be more easily integrated into the software.

What type of help is availble to learn how to use Moodle? Over the course of the Spring 2010 semester, a wide variety of support mechanisms will be developed and deployed to enable faculty and students to become familiar with the new course management system, Moodle. The Gingrich LION wiki will serve as the central distribution area for general and specific information about implementation on the Albright main and remote campus locations.  Other means of support will include face-to-face training sessions, online tutorials, and field-based support for faculty provided by the Library and Accelerated Degree Program (ADP) staff.
