• Using Their Noddles To Choose Moodle

The folk at the GGF have put their noddles together and decided that Moodle, the world’s most widely used learning platform, should be used for delivering its ambitious online training programme.

Moodle is used around the world by more than 213 million students and by a wide cross-section of organisations, including the Open University, London School of Economics and Microsoft.

Skilled Pathways

The Glass & Glazing Federation is working with GQA Qualifications and training partners Total Support Training, to deliver its Skilled Pathways Scheme to provide the next generation of workers for the glazing and glass processing sectors. In the development of this, an area for concern was not only how technical information would be delivered, but how to assess and record knowledge, skills and behaviours in a way that could be externally assessed and avoid bias. Moodle was felt to satisfy all of these concerns.

With Moodle now in place, the platform will be utilised to deliver a number of existing NVQ assessment modules as well as a total of 41 modules in development, that will provide up-to-date information on technical, health, safety environmental and behavioural practices amongst others.

“The GGF is providing its most ambitious training and skills development programme ever and we needed a platform that would allow us to deliver this successfully but in ways that allowed flexibility to the trainees and their employers and for us to reach as many individuals and as quickly as possible. Moodle is perfect for that.”

Learning on the go

The GGF recognises the disruption that training can place on a company’s manufacturing or installation programmes. Moodle will allow all schemes and modules to be accessed with ease and online, providing flexibility. The system can be accessed by mobile, PC, Mac or tablet providing the trainee with the opportunity to use it while travelling to and from their workplace or site, for example.

Anda Gregory adds: “GGF Members signed up to the Skilled Pathways Scheme are already taking advantage of the facility and enjoying the benefits of employees with enhanced skills and job satisfaction.”
