The need for qualified specialists to work with and apply sophisticated technology in contemporary medicine is rapidly growing. Professional bodies predict that meeting the needs of healthcare globally will require almost tripling the number of Medical Physicists by 2035. Similar challenges exist in the constantly growing profession of Medical Engineering. They can be solved most efficiently and effectively with the tools of e-Learning, and a free and open-source Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) platform such as Moodle is a welcome solution.

The Moodle VLE platform is a free, open source learning management system that is the most popular choice for higher educational institutions worldwide. However, the best practices of the Moodle system are still unknown to many. This practical guide provides educators, programme administrators, and programme directors with a condensed guide to Moodle and step-by-step instructions on how to create a single course or an entire educational programme. It also discusses cost-effective ways to apply e-Learning in an educational institution.

This guide is accessible to all professionals, even those without specialist IT skills, and will be helpful to educators of all levels in Medical Physics and Engineering, as well as in other medical and medical-related specialties or disciplines with a strong imaging component.

Features:

    • Provides step-by-step instructions of how to build a course/module for Higher Education on Moodle

    • Gives practical solutions to implementing e-Learning in Medical Physics and Engineering

    • Explores useful tips and tricks for best practice



This practical guide provides educators, programme administrators, and school directors with step-by-step instructions on how to best implement the learning mangament system Moodle, focusing on the specific requirements of the education and training of Medical Physics and Engineering students.

Arvustused

"This hardcover publication is a guide to how you can build educational modules using one of the most popular free open-source learning platforms: Moodle. The book contains step-by-step instructions of how to build a module for higher education in Moodle. The most outstanding feature of this book is the step-by-step instructions of how to create these modules in Moodle, which are illustrated within many screenshots of the platform. This book is intended as a guide for educators, programme administrators, and programme directors of all levels in medical physics and engineering. However, it can also be helpful to other medical and medical-related specialties or disciplines with a strong imaging component. An important strength of this book is that it is not necessary to have special or extensive IT knowledge, or be familiar with programming, to be capable to apply the information in this book and start using Moodle. This book is easy to read and comprehend, even without having extensive IT knowledge. The examples provided are invaluable if you decide to start building your own module in Moodle. The author is clearly very experienced in using Moodle, and is therefore able to share practical tips, which are very helpful when designing your own modules, which may otherwise be very easy to miss. This book sticks to the basic building blocks of online modules, and to the guide when you start using Moodle in your medical physics courses. Lately, online learning has taken a permanent place in our educational landscape, and therefore this book is a highly recommended source of information for all educators! traditional way of building modules as mostly used in higher education. If and when you want to start designing your own modules on Moodle, this book is a great guide. If youre interested in taking advantage of everything that Moodle is capable of doing, then this book is a great introduction to getting used to Moodle. Then, after getting familiar with Moodle by means of this book, educators can take the next step and learn to design a very broad variety of learning content, using the many options and plugins that are available to extend Moodles capabilities...In summary, the step-by-step descriptions and many useful tips make this book a very useful and practical guide when you start using Moodle in your medical physics courses. Lately, online learning has taken a permanent place in our educational landscape, and therefore this book is a highly recommended source of information for all educators!"
