This document presents a model for a Moodle developer CPD course that uses a flipped classroom approach to train teachers on integrating technology into their teaching through the use of Moodle. The course demonstrates the design and structure of learning modules focused on specific Moodle tools and features. It also provides examples of course elements like quick module structures, embedded demonstrations, and rubrics to guide participants' work.

27. Sample Module - Design
Embedding

28. Now create your own
Go to your design brief.
Imagine you are training your
colleagues in using Web 2.0 tools

Design a suitable module for
them. See Design brief

29. DESIGN BRIEF
Design a new module called "Do you know your Web 2.0?"
