    Moodle is an open-source Learning Management System (LMS) that provides educators with the tools and features to create and manage online courses. It allows educators to organize course materials, create quizzes and assignments, host discussion forums, and track student progress. Moodle is highly flexible and can be customized to meet the specific needs of different institutions and learning environments.

    Moodle supports both synchronous and asynchronous learning environments, enabling educators to host live webinars, video conferences, and chat sessions, as well as providing a variety of tools that support self-paced learning, including videos, interactive quizzes, and discussion forums. The platform also integrates with other tools and systems, such as Google Apps and plagiarism detection software, to provide a seamless learning experience.

    Moodle is widely used in educational institutions, including universities, K-12 schools, and corporate training programs. It is well-suited to online and blended learning environments and distance education programs. Additionally, Moodle's accessibility features make it a popular choice for learners with disabilities, ensuring that courses are inclusive and accessible to all learners.

    The Moodle community is an active group of users, developers, and educators who contribute to the platform's development and improvement. The community provides support, resources, and documentation for users, as well as a forum for sharing ideas and best practices. Moodle releases regular updates and improvements, ensuring that the platform remains up-to-date with the latest technologies and best practices.

his course defines the skills needed to facilitate training. It entails applying active learning strategies, analyzing training documents, developing training documents, managing learning space and facilitating learning activities.

Learning Outcomes

By the end of the course the trainee should be able to:

  • Apply active learning strategies
  • Analyze training documents
  • Develop training documents
  • Manage learning space
  • Facilitate learning activities 

his course provides a comprehensive introduction to the C programming language, emphasizing foundational concepts, low-level memory manipulation, and disciplined programming practices essential for student Trainers in computing. Students will learn core syntax, data types, control flow, functions, arrays, pointers, strings, structures, memory management, file I/O, and the compilation process. The course aims to equip students with the ability to design, implement, debug, and analyze C programs, preparing them for subsequent courses in the future.

Learning Objectives

Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to:

  1. Apply the fundamental syntax and semantics of the C language.
  2. Utilize various data types, operators, and control flow structures effectively.
  3. Design, implement, and utilize modular code using functions and understand parameter passing mechanisms (value vs. pointer).
  4. Proficiently use arrays, strings, and associated standard library functions, understanding memory layout and safety considerations.
  5. Master the concept of pointers, including pointer arithmetic, dynamic memory allocation, and their use with arrays, strings, structs, and functions.
  6. Manipulate aggregate data types using structures (struct) and understand their application in building basic data structures (e.g., linked lists).
  7. Perform dynamic memory allocation and deallocation using malloc, calloc, realloc, and free, understanding the concepts of the heap, stack, and common memory errors (leaks, dangling pointers).
  8. Read from and write to files using standard C file I/O functions for text and binary data.
  9. Understand the C compilation process (preprocessing, compilation, linking) and use preprocessor directives.

Learning Activities & Methodology:

  • Lectures: Covering theoretical concepts, syntax, semantics, and examples (based on slide content)
  • Lab Sessions/Assignments: Hands-on programming exercises reinforcing concepts covered in lectures (based on module exercises). Weekly or bi-weekly submissions.
  • Quizzes: Short assessments to check understanding of key concepts.
    • Midterm Exam: Covering material from the first half of the course, i.e., weeks 1-7
    • Final Project (Optional/Alternative): A more substantial programming project applying multiple course concepts processing utility, simple database, basic game, data structure implementation).
    • Final Exam: Comprehensive exam covering all course material.

Assessment (Sample Weighting):

  • CAT1[30]: Quizzes:10% + Midterm Exam: 20%
  • CAT2[70]: Lab Assignments/Homework: 70%
  • Final Exam / Final Project: 100%
