Last class of Moodle MOOC1 in June 2013 by John Graves. 

Dr. Nellie Deutsch started the first Moodle MOOC in 2013. It was called the "Moodle MOOC 1: Transpersonal Active Learning (TAL) via Moodle and other PLEs". It was offered on the WizIQ platform and ran from May 31 to June 30, 2013. The MOOC was designed to introduce participants to the Moodle learning management system and to the principles of Transpersonal Active Learning (TAL). TAL is a learner-centered approach to education that emphasizes experiential learning, reflection, and collaboration.

The Moodle MOOC was a success, with over 10,000 participants from around the world. Dr. Deutsch has since offered several more Moodle MOOCs up to this year's Moodle MOOC23 or MM23.

Moodle MOOCs or as they are coined MM are free online courses that teach how to use Moodle learning management system to create and deliver effective online courses. The course is designed for teachers, trainers, and anyone else who wants to learn how to use Moodle.

MM23 is the 23rd edition of the Moodle MOOC. It was offered in May and June of 2023. The course covered the following topics:
1. Introduction to Moodle
2. Creating and managing courses
3. Using activities and resources
4. Assessing student learning
5. Collaborating with others
6. Troubleshooting

The course was delivered through a combination of video lectures, self-paced exercises, and discussion forums. Participants were also able to get help from the course instructors and other participants through the discussion forums.
