Target Audience
This training was designed for instructors at the Logate Institute for Information Technology.
* I have been using the Moodle platform for years through my work at universities, where it has been the primary tool for e-learning. I conducted my doctoral experiment within Moodle and developed gamified plugins to enhance student engagement. This experience enabled me to design a training program that helps educators fully leverage the potential of this platform.
