Training for Administrators of Moodle
Dr. Nellie Deutsch founded Nellie's English Projects (NEP) in 2003 as a repository for teachers and students of English as a foreign or second language. In 2025, NEP became a Moodle training ground for administrators of Moodle. NEP Moodle provides a practical learning environment designed for individuals who want to develop the skills necessary to manage a Moodle site effectively as administrators. The program focuses on guiding learners through the essential features and administrative tasks of Moodle, equipping them with the knowledge, space, practice, and skills to handle all aspects of Moodle site management.
