While Moodle is essentially a Learning Content Management System, the structual changes in new generations require both planning for migration but also continuous retraining of staff who are used to previous versions.
Training academics on using a new system is indeed a challenging task because of one major risk factor, namely that they forget about the system after the training and do no really engage in its uptake. The second constraint is also reluctant to change, especially when users get used to an existing system.
Training and retraining is also resource-consuming. From preparation to actually running the workshop and ensuring uptake is often an uphill battle. Therefore a tempered approach sometimes can be more helpful by complementing face to face training with self-learning resources which participants can continue to consume after the training. There is thus an improved chance for uptake. The resource being shared below is a detailed 145 slides leading the participant step by step through the Moodle eLearning platform.
