This meeting provides a forum to talk with other online teachers to discuss strategies and approaches to orienting students to become successful online learners. From low literacy students to CTE, all students need a solid understanding of what to expect in an online course. Come and talk among your peers about current research on best practices for preparing students to be successful online learners. Materials and relevant Web sites will be shared and reviewed.

Prerequisites: Basic computer skills and comfort with navigating the Internet. This would be a good workshop to take before taking “Moodle v2: Create a Course Web Site.”

Have you been thinking of ways to reward the success of your learners in your online course? This workshop will introduce you to badges and how they can be used in conjunction with your Moodle course hosted by OTAN. The presenter will demonstrate the badging process in Moodle and how students can create a backpack to "take" their badges with them.
