Helga Dorner, Hungary
"I very much liked the general 'student-friendly' atmosphere of the course and the multicultural online learning environment. It was a great experience […] I would definitely recommend this course to any of my colleagues. Actually, I am planning to take part in some more online courses organised by the Consultants-E. Well, the reason is quite simple. I got what I expected: high-quality learning experience, well-structured content, and lots of socialising and useful professional interaction. Thank you for the experience!" View Course Moodle>>

Jon Fawcett, Australia
“Fabulous - the loop input format was outstandingly effective and the modules built on each other in a logical and satisfying sequence […]  For the hours input, I feel like I've got a great return in terms of competence and confidence […] Like CELTA, it has the aura of an industry leading preparation course for its target market.” View Course Moodle>>

"The course has been very much worthwhile, especially as we are about to run a brand new course with Moodle as out VLE […] I would certainly recommend the course to anyone planning to administer an online course, not least for the opportunity to ask questions and have troubleshooting done before going live [… ] Overall, I have enjoyed the experience and feel I have the skills to go on and apply them for real."

"Very hands on and practical...Tutors provided very good and constant support... It was good in the sense that it provided a space to experiment with the various tools and the opportunity to receive expert advice as well as feedback from fellow learners.

“I had a lot of fun setting up my sample Moodle. I really enjoyed the challenge of trying new things and working with lessons and quizzes. I thought it was interesting the way that [the tutors] divided up responsibilities on the course, and played different roles at different times – definitely a good model for us.”

Adrian Plant, United Kingdom
“Well I have to say the course has really been a revelation. It has completely opened my eyes to the potential of online learning. Up to this point I had thought that the learning experience would be fairly flat. Now I can see the process can be more dynamic and exciting. The course has inspired to take the whole online learning technology much more seriously. I am even reading books on it now. Thanks so much for all your efforts I have really enjoyed it.” View Course Moodle>>

Lizzie Pine, United Kingdom
“I was amazed that at the end of the last week I had a skeleton course, which could easily be developed into something really good. If someone had told me this at the beginning, I would have found it hard to believe, since I was coming at this with very little experience of on-line courses.” View Course Moodle>>

Nicola Wright, United Kingdom
“I thought this course was excellent. It was very professionally delivered and kept me interested at all times. When are you doing an advanced one!” View Course Moodle>>

Albert Adroer, Spain
"The most important thing to me is that the tutors response time was fast, which is really useful in online contexts. Besides, they kind of managed to create a nice atmosphere and encouraged participants through personal praise. I think I’ve learned lot when it comes to using Moodle, but there’s still a lot more to learn. I now feel definitely much better prepared to run my own courses successfully.” View Course Moodle>>

Tony Foster, United Kingdom
“As with the E-Moderators’ course, I found this excellent [ … ] a thoroughly well-organised course [ … ] you respond with admirable alacrity, even at unsocial hours, and this creates a strong sense of a pair of guardian angels squatting sphinx-like at either side of the portal. Thanks for another memorable learning experience.” View Course Moodle>>
