Moodle and Online Learning

At first I thought, “this is rather rudimentary.”

But you know what? It got the job done.The site provided enough direction and resources to get me started. And the instructor was an online message away when I needed him.

This course helped to attain a personal goal – maintaining my certification. It was relevant to my current work. And it satisfied my desire to learn and grow. And I liked the independence the course provided – to learn anywhere, anytime.
