What is the Moodle Educator Certification (MEC) programme?

Moodle MEC is a comprehensive online assessment and certification programme for teachers, instructors, and trainers who want to:

• Demonstrate their overall digital competencies within e-learning
• Leverage their Moodle experience to advance their skills further
• Collaborate with other motivated and innovative educators

The programme covers 22 separate digital competencies, separated into Core, Teaching Approach, and Comprehensive Certifications.

The guiding philosophy behind MEC is to support and recognise educators who are successfully applying Moodle to improve their teaching and learning practice.

Initially we’re offering a Core Certification course covering the first six modules, with subsequent programmes to be announced soon.

Who is the certification aimed at?

MEC is aimed at experienced educators who have at least a year or two of Moodle use under their belt. You should be comfortable with the key elements of the Moodle platform, such as Activities, Groups, Gradebook, Communication tools and Resource types.

So if you’ve been successfully using Moodle for some time now, but you’re looking to prove your knowledge and use of the platform, and demonstrate how you use it to support your teaching, MEC gives you a recognised, transferable certification.

What commitment is involved?

For the initial launch, the Core Certification will include 6 modules, and will run over 6 months. We would recommend you allow 4-6 hours of exploring and working with the supporting content and activities in each module.

As Moodle MEC is run as an online course, you’ll be able to participate at whatever time is most convenient to you.

The cost per participant for Core Certification is £500.

What support will I receive?

You’ll have full access to all of the supporting materials, resources and activities you need to guide you through each module, delivered through Moodle. We’ll assist you by demonstrating some exemplar Moodle teaching approaches and guide you in collating and presenting your submissions for each module.

At the start of the course, and following each individual module you’ll also receive detailed personal feedback from Edd Clementson, our dedicated programme leader for MEC. And of course if you have any minor issues along the way, you can contact one of the Titus team for assistance.
