MSC MOODLE

19 Aug 2018

The MSC has introduced a new MOODLE Learning Management System.  Its aim is to make available to on-line users both materials used in the classroom courses and new material specially for distance learning.  So the 59 MP4 podcasts  for PFQ and PMQ are there, as are new PMQ multiple-choice quizzes.

MOODLE is used by the Open University and by the Civil Service. It is in common use.

The MOODLE learning management system contains for PMQ:

  • 36 video podcasts in MP4 format - listen to the tutor, see the slides - nearly six and a half hours long.
  • 60 multiple-choice questions in four quizzes each taking 15 minutes.
  • copies of all APM PMQ documentation - syllabus, sample paper, guide for candidates.
  • copies of all slides used in the classroom version and in podcasts .

For PFQ MSC MOODLE contains:

  • 23 video podcasts in MP4 format - listen to the tutor, see the slides - nearly two and a half hours long.
  • 60 multiple-choice questions in APM's sample examination paper.
  • copies of all APM PFQ documentation - syllabus, sample paper, guide for candidates.
  • copies of all slides used in the classroom version and podcasts.

This is partly in response to delegates on the Distance-Learning PFQ and PMQ courses who prefer to learn on-line, perhaps when travelling. It also seems to be more difficult for delegates to attend regular classroom sessions; a more flexible approach is required, where people can work at their own pace whenever time is available.
