MULTIMEDIA eLEARNING ENVIRONMENT
For my Multimedia eLearning Performance, I developed a blended course titled Digital Literacy for Educators using Moodle. Designed for both pre-service and in-service teachers, the course equips educators with essential digital literacy skills, including evaluating online information, safeguarding personal data, practicing ethical digital conduct, and fostering responsible online collaboration. The Moodle-based delivery provides a structured yet flexible environment that promotes accessibility, supports diverse learning needs, and encourages critical thinking and meaningful collaboration.
