The OCWC webinar this month is on “Using Moodle for OpenCourseWare projects”. The speaker is Jenny Gray of the Open University, UK. She is the lead technical developer for the OpenLearn project. As you can see from the website, there has been a lot of customization of Moodle to provide a platform for open contents, collaboration and discussion. This webinar will be helpful for those who are planning to open an OpenCourseWare site but have not decided on what content management system to use. Jenny will talk about why using Moodle for an OpenCourseWare project makes sense, and what kind of functions and customization are possible with Moodle.

Moodle is one of the most widely used learning management systems in the world and is an open source program. Join us in the webinar and hear about how you can utilize your existing LMS to open your education contents to the world. You can also use this open source program to easily set up a simple OpenCourseWare site. This webinar is intended for all audience regardless of the technical background and is open for free to anyone interested in OpenCourseWare. To participate, go to http://breezemeeting.asu.edu/ocwc .
