This certificate will provide e-learning methodology and tools for Mekelle University tutors.

In this course, the participants will have the opportunity to create course content, explore online and blended applications for eLearning using an open source learning management system and practice with Web tools such as blogs, wikis and podcasts as well as search tools, surveys, quizzes, and discussion systems.

The emphasis is on what to use in teaching right now, how to convert traditional courses and how to use Web-based components to enhance face-to-face instruction.

The course consists of instructor led sessions, online sessions and scheduled workshops. The estimated workload is a number of 20-25 days over a semester including the face-to-face sessions, individual work with web-based course materials and group activities.

All course materials are placed on Moodle and mainly include communication (discussion board, chat room, e-mail) and module content (course outlines, lecture notes, additional resources).
